3 Day Trips for Sydneysiders.

3 DAY TRIPS FOR SYDNEYSIDERS

A micro-adventure is almost like a canapé, a little taste and if you like it, you can go for more.

Sometimes, all we need is a change of scenery to reset the engine. A quick break away from the everyday can be extremely restorative and refreshing. More so than ever, we have all learnt to live in the moment and be a little bit more spontaneous. A day trip is the perfect mini-getaway which allows you to feel like you are on holiday, minus the arduous packing and planning.

Here are 3 of Roam's favourite day trips, which are all under a 90 minute drive from Sydney:

AVALON

Some know it as Summer Bay and others refer to it simply as, the Northern Beaches. As you twist and turn through the bends, there is no going back. Leave the city behind and immerse yourself in the ultimate coastal lifestyle.

Avalon is a touch of old school beach town sprinkled with upper class glam. With less than 1 hr to get there, you can even pretend to be a local for one whole day.

SIP

Classic Coffee a combi on a hill serving lattes at sunrise.

Bar Elvina negroni for sundown.
