Just after I had finished my two exams and a final assignment in my last week of uni, I went on a 4-day-trip to Tasmania, which is only about an hour flight from Melbourne. I honestly went to Tasmania without any expectations (besides it just being even colder than Melbourne) and pre-planning, due to my busy deadline schedule only days before our departure.
