Travel in 10: Travel Podcast

Sydney - Iconic Views, Coastal Vibes, and Urban Adventures in Australia’s Harbour City


Listen Later

This week on Travel in 10, co-hosts David Brodie and Tim Johnson take you to Sydney, Australia—a city where golden beaches meet global cuisine, where the Sydney Opera House glows against a skyline of steel, and where ferry rides, bush tucker tours, and surf lessons are all just part of a typical day.

With decades of travel experience between them and firsthand stories from multiple visits—including one trip they shared together—David and Tim offer a traveler’s-eye view of one of the world’s most vibrant and liveable cities.
