I moved to San Francisco in September 2016 and am enjoying getting to know this amazing city. As well as blogging about SF and life abroad, I like to write about traveling in America and beyond. The name 'One Bay or Another' came to me because I love living by the sea. The bays I've lived in or near include Morecambe Bay (Lancaster, UK), Cullen Bay (Darwin, Australia), Port Phillip (Melbourne, Australia), and now San Francisco Bay. My passions include travel, food & drink, reading, writing, and the outdoors.
