It's simply just impossible not to love life when it acts like this. I know some people with blogs love to put it up there anytime they have a happy moment in life, as if to reinforce their own belief in it, that life is on occasion a bit better. I consider this a symptom of the jacked up life people live, where everything can be showcased to tell everyone what an amazing life THEY have to become the envy of their friends. But this, this is truly living on the r...

Mighty slow days sometimes. Today I arrived at Airlie Beach like 7 AM, had my diving medical booked at 8:30 and the first plan was to catch a bus at 9:05....

What I thought was going to be a f***ed up stressfull day turned out to be one of the slower days ever that turned out to be a f***ed up stressfull day.

Decided against the surf lesson, since I might miss out on the exam, and then I'd have wasted 300 $ on the diving. So that relaxed everything and in the morning I'd just c...

Sometimes I'm just lucky... The first day with any actual rain since I left Sweden is obviously the day I decide to take a 3 hour bike excursion. See Agnes water and 1770 is about 6 km away from eachother. Agnes water being the village where I'm staying, where the bus stops and where all the super markets are and 1770 is an even smaller village a bit further north, on a little tip. The name 1770 comes from the year captain Cook first landed on this very spot, hi...
