Hello!
Thank you for visiting A Weekend of Adventures. This is my little place on the internet to document the places, events, adventures, people and cultural works that I have experienced in my one wild and precious life.
At this stage it is simply a memory journal of the things I have done, places I have been and art I have engaged with since moving to Melbourne in 2015.
A Weekend of Adventures was born in February of 2017 and over 68 pages later, it finally feels like something I can share. Even though it doesn’t pretend to be anything culturally significant. 😉
Thanks for sharing my joy. Thanks for being here with me. 🙂
Sarah
