Lizzie is a contributor at Urban List Sydney. Most of her time is spent plotting her next foodie outing, wandering the Northern Beaches or ducking into a pilates class (when she hasn’t already spent the Classpass credits on Salumerie’s sandos).

As a flexitarian who's mainly vego but drools over butter chicken sauce, she loves trying new plates, but always goes back to her death row meal of veggie fries at Chica Bonita in Manly.

On weekends, you’ll find her sipping savvy Bs at a cosy wine bar or camping up the coast—either way, she’s probably already writing about it.
