How is it almost March already? I swear to God when I think about it, this year has gone by in a blink. But then if I slow it down, and remember all the amazing things I've done this past year- it feels like a lifetime of memories.
So lets paint a little picture for you, Im surrounded by piles of clothes and boxes, with a mere 6 days left in Australia before they kick me out of this beautiful place. I cant believe ive come this far and I am incredibly proud of myself that I have. When shit got real, my travelling buddy left, money was dwindling away and jobs were few and far between- I almost gave up hope to come home. But I'm so glad I didnt. I managed to bag an amazing job, talking to like minded people (backpackers) all day long, and doing a job they are grateful for you doing. I couldnt of asked for a better working environment. The girls in the office crack me up- and although Ive only been there a short while I wish I could of stayed longer.
But alas onwardsand upwards- or is it sidewards? Next stop- New Zealand! I have called Australia home for the past year- with Australian people infuriating me and inspiring me all at the same time. Their love of running, fruit juices, bbqs, beers, beetroot, avocado, soccer, cricket- in fact any sport going...their open honest nature, ignorant pride and friendlyness to strangers on the street- I miss truely miss it all. I hope to carry a little bit of ozzie back with me to England, to be less angry about life, to be more charitable and kind...and just simply have "no worries or dramas"
And this journey To New Zealand will be solo. And good for me. A month of discovering myself all over again. To soak up that serenity! To make new friends and new memories. I can safely say this with pure clarity- if i was to get run over by a bus tomorrow, I wouldnt want anyone to be sad. Ive lived my life. Ive done it to the fullest. Ive made my ultimate dreams come true- so anything after this chapter of my life will just be a pleasurable bonus :)
