Sydney on a budget
8th Jan 2014 10:31am | By Francesca Baker I m going to Sydney! I told people. One of the first reactions from everyone was not rapture over the iconic skyline, envy at spending a New Year s Eve in the city where it starts, or advice on where to go and what to see.
No, it was concern for my pocket and plenty of warnings and woes about just how expensive this city is.
They have a point. Sydney is not cheap to live in or travel to (in fact, nowhere in Australia is, not aided by the exchange rate). There s something about travelling too, as opposed to holidaying (i.e, longer, living a place) that suddenly turns me into Miss Stingy McStinge. But I survived in Sydney. In fact, I thrived. There are plenty of ways to see Sydney without being tight, but frugal, savvy, and thrilled by this striking and iconic city.
