Jodia

More often than not, our lives reflect the preconditioned, rather than what’s really in our hearts. At Sydney Romantics we believe that what defines us and connects us as human beings are the things that we love. Through the Faces of Sydney collaboration with portrait photographer Jamie Espinosa, we’re telling the stories of our city, through its people and their passions.

What is your idea of success?

Having the freedom to be present and in the moment in all aspects of your life. My new mantra is to be where your head is at. When you’re working, immerse yourself in the work or when your with your family, be with them. Sounds easier than it sounds but I am trying.

The Darjeeling Limited.

Fever by Kylie Minogue

What is the most romantic thing someone has ever done for you?

Apart from trusting me to be a father figure to her 2 year old son, it’d have to be recreating my childhood tracksuit cladded stuffed monkey named Jogging.

What does being a romantic mean to you?

Laying it all on the line in the name of love.
