So I had a really easy flight from Cairns to Auckland with my new friend Tash! We sat next to each other and chatted about our travels and lives and told so many stories. Realised we were going to be travelling New Zealand on the Kiwi bus together which was awesome, so happy to have a friend on it! We had to collect our bags and change terminals in Sydney, and I was happy to have someone watching my back and not having to navigate the whole thing alone. Once in A...

So, I haven't posted since I left the Gold Coast which was aaaaaages ago. Here's what I got up to in the rest of Australia! I left the Gold Coast and travelled up to Brisbane with some friends I met in Africa last summer! It was so nice to see a familiar face, and they let me stay with them for a couple of nights. Lovely to get out of a hostel and eat some home-cooked food. I went stand up paddleboarding with Lauren and drove around and saw the sights, which was...

I can't believe I'm still on the Gold Coast! I said I would get a job and be here a few weeks but it's been 3 weeks now and it's absolutely flown by.

It was the worst place I think I've ever stayed in my life, we were so upset even though we were living on Bondi Beach, the...

I arrived in Sydney safe and sound! Said some teary goodbyes to the amazing people I've met in Melbourne on Thursday, and packed all my stuff up (a lot harder with all the stuff I managed to accumulate in 3 months...) Left the house early on Friday morning, said goodbye to the dogs and drove into the city for the last time. I was sad to leave that place, the people I met and the things I did will stay with me for life and I had such an amazing time, and the city...
