Things are settled back down now here, it was a bit annoying while I had no job, but that was only for a week and I've found a new job now! I had the best week off hanging out with friends from work while we were unemployed, and got to explore a lot more of Melbourne. Hopefully with this new job I'll be able to save more money for the rest of my travels! I was so unprepared for how expensive Australia is- from working at the Edgy for a month I earned double what ...

Well, I did have a job, and it was all going swimmingly, aaaaand now I'm unemployed :( Basically the place was going downhill, so it was sold to investors and they turned around and decided to shut it down and turn it into apartments! So this is our last week of work and we stop trade on Sunday, which is a bit of a shock! I absolutely loved it there, for me it's always the people that make the place and I absolutely love the friends I made! It's a shame it's over...

I've been in Australia for just over 3 weeks now and it's still amazing! I'm getting used to being on the other side of the world now, but it still hits me at times. Guess who got a job?!

All the other people who work there are so lovely. The only bummer is that I have to work Christmas, b...

I've now been in Ausralia for just under a week and I still can't quite believe I'm here. I've had this planned for so many years and it's finally all come true- I was so emotional leaving home but it changed half way from being upset about leaving to tears of complete amazement; I actually did it! I raised all the money myself and organised everything myself, and it was pretty overwhelming. Surprisingly, getting 4 trains to London and then 3 flights to Ausralia...

I finally booked my flight to Australia! Woooo! I'm still working out when I'm going to leave for Africa, as I know I need to be in Mozambique for the beginning of May, but not sure if I'll be able to go to South Africa before that (I'm so poor, boo). But I've got my working holiday visa for Oz, and I'm planning some time in New Zealand too, so it's all coming together! I bought a 55:70 litre rucksack which is absolutely perfect for me, and loads of liners and b...
