Cousins
We are Anna and Annoushka.
We are long lost cousins who live in Brisbane and Brooklyn respectively, and we are remarkably similar people. The catch is, the two of us only ever knew eachother as children until this year Facebook helped us get in contact again as adults. Since then our daily exchanges have turned into mile long conversations and visual treasure trades, and one day, we decided to start a blog.
Each day we take a photo of whatever we decide to be our daily topic and we post it.
Brisbane - Brooklyn - One Photo - Each Day
Enjoy!
We'd love to hear from you - email us at 9626deventures@gmail.com
