I've always seen it as like...

I'm from Sydney.

Sydney's the oldest sibling.

Sydney's kind of got like a lot going for her.

She's pretty.

She's traditionally cute.

And then you've got Melbourne who's like, here's my personality.

Here's my food scene.

What do you love about Melbourne though?

And look, speaking of trying different things, I mean, I was digging into a bit of your background and your journey to journalism.

I want to talk about a specific moment, but it sounded like you were kind of in an environment where you should have been doing something like medicine or law, and then you did something completely different.

Unpack that for us.

I understand in that adventure, you ended up in Morocco and you found yourself, quote, I'm quoting here, eye to eye with the unblinking eyes of a decapitated goat.

Okay, yeah, correct.

My words, they are my words.

That's factually accurate.

But that part played part of this journey into journalism, right?

What are the perks of being, correct me if I'm wrong, but it sounds like you then go on this journey of becoming a travel or food writer in some way.

What are the perks of that?

Because to someone who doesn't understand, that sounds like a lot of free meals, a lot of free accommodation, a lot of free travel.
