After months of travelling for work and filming for Chandon’s latest campaign, we finally returned back to Melbourne. Our buddies greeted us with excitement and love, wanting to hear all about our time away and filling us in on all their most recent news.
In the past few weeks, we shared our reflection and inspiration, covering different facets of our personal and professional life at a journal journal. The first chapter centered on the benefits of living a unplanned way of life, and also the positive affects this can bring. In the next chapter we reflected on memories being the most valued possessions in life and finding the balance between responsibilities and opportunities. In this post, we will share our tips on living life to the fullest in a city such as Melbourne.
When we travel we are frequently asked to explain what life is like in Melbourne, we answer this question with a great deal of enthusiasm.
The town is the cultural and sporting capital of Australia and never a day passes without the glorious celebration of all art forms, talent or skill. There is an event for anybody, from performing and visual arts, literature, fashion, music, humor, film, gardening, you name it! Each month that the town celebrates its multi-cultural heritage and its love for everything Foreign with international festivals and neighborhood designer activations.
We search for inspiration out our field and feel that the more we understand the more we could develop ourselves personally and professionally. We like to be the travellers and discoverers within our own city, exploring different aspects of art and culture.
We often attend fashion weeks, shop openings, and collection launches, music festivals, athletic events, art exhibitions, ballet and opera. Inspiration can be found in several things, in ways we all create an art work every day by choosing an outfit to wear. Melbourne is famous for its unique style, the town has inspired us to capture authentic fashion on the streets that translated into our work and is a continuous source of inspiration in our own lives.
In our spare time we support our musician and artist friends by visiting arenas, DJ gigs and art displays or escaping the town buzz with country getaways. We often take trips to the shore, our favorite ones are in the Yarra Valley region. Domaine Chandon is a ideal romantic location to stop for a divine dining experience paired with sparkling blossoms and finished with breathtaking views.
The real key to living to the fullest at a city like Melbourne would be to spice up things and to try something different every week. However long you’ve lived in town for, there is always more to see and to find. We’ve explored everything from dance courses, yoga retreats, athletic events to comedy and jazz festivals.
It’s also about meeting people with various lifestyles and interests. Our friends are of all ages, cultural and religious backgrounds, they all have different interests and passions in life. We might be spending a weekend listening to live music in the city , or camping in The Grampians, the list of activities is endless.
When it is soaking up the sun in the vineyard or around the beach, discovering the wildlife or indulging at the cultural goodness, then Melbourne is magical.
