Just Visiting: Serena Ryder

Staff Writer

More Serena Ryder Serena Ryder Profile

Why are you coming to visit our fair country? Because I love it here! It always feels like home when I’m here... I love the people, the weather, the ocean.

Is this your first visit? This is my tenth time here but I haven’t been in over eight years.

How long are you here for? We’re here for three weeks.

What do you know about Australia, in ten words or less? Flat whites... BEST. COFFEE. EVER. Surfing, cricket, footy, amazing food, amazing people, amazing music.

Any extra-curricular activities you hope to participate in? Snorkelling, swimming in the ocean, drinking as many flat whites as possible before going home.

What will you be taking home as a souvenir? Hopefully an Aussie husband so I can have dual citizenship ;-)

Where can we come say hi, and buy you an Aussie beer? 8 Apr, Lizottes Newcastle; 9 Apr, Brass Monkey; 10 Apr, The Basement.
