Its been a long, long time and as you can imagine a lot happened. . . but let me start with the best thing that happened since last time I was in touch with all of you. I am super thrilled to let you all know that I am a proud godmother to a wonderful little baby girl! Thanks once again to Saskia and Craig for giving me the honours to become godmother to beautiful Toni Bella!
When it comes to my Australian adventures I’m once again not sure where to start but let’s go back to Xmas. I was really excited about Xmas & New Year not only because I had a lot of amazing plans but also because I was expecting to live in Bondi with 4 lovely friends from Melbourne who came all the way up to celebrate the festive season. Unfortunately, the trip in Sydney started off horrible! We arrived at the flat, where we rented a room, to find that the room had been given to someone else. . . so there we were, 5 people homeless in Sydney. Thanks to Charming William we managed to get to stay in the flat, however the five of us had to sleep on the floor
Imagine 10 night sleeping on the floor and unfortunately I am not the youngest any more, my whole body was aching. . . we still had a wonderful time because after all it’s the people that make a place. Xmas eve was spent on a boat cruising around the Sydney Harbour and let me tell you we had such an amazing night. . . well how could we not, there was free booze and an amazing atmosphere
I started off the new year on Bondi beach with Snoop Dog who warmed up the crowed and Pendulum who made sure we did not want to go home. It was just amazing the whole atmosphere, the people, the music. . . it was really all about getting drunk, not going to sleep, living young, wild & free
However, after the whole festive season was over I realised I was not feeling Sydney like I used to. I have to blame myself mainly for it, if I am honest, I was just not making any effort. I did not feel like making new friends in the hostel I moved to. While you travel what you do most is small talk and make new friends, which as you can imagine I have no problems doing so, however this time I just did not feel like making new friends, I just wanted to be able to sit down and be surrounded by my friends without having to make any effort. I guess the 10 days on the floor and everything that went wrong during the festive season took away a bit of my travel enthusiasm. It was big brother who made me come back to reality and made me realize I am making this trip for myself, so if I don’t feel happy it’s because I don’t want to be happy. I started thinking what I actually wanted and the only thing I knew was that I needed to follow my heart and my heart was telling me to go back to where I belonged, which is Melbourne.
So here I am now, back in Melbourne for the third time, and I am having the time of my life again. I am loving every single minute! The welcome I received when I got back made me just realise that I had made the right decision!
A journey is best measured in friends!
To get some variation we try to do something during the weekends. Hence, Dan had the great idea to go on the great ocean road trip. Almost half of the hostel joined, & it was one of the best weekends I had since I am in Australia. There was 20 of us ready to go mental for three days, just drinking, singing, dancing, enjoying each others company and of course playing shimmy shimmy
We experienced everything you can actually expect to experience during a road trip. Having 4 cars we did of course manage to loose one of the cars, we got stopped by a police officer called Ashley ( a male police officer called Ashley to clarify), we spend more time in the car than actually seeing the beauty of the great ocean road, we almost got kicked out from a camp site & we even started to like the taste of warm beer. . . all in all it was just a unique experience, so thanks to Sarah for organising it & I look forward to the next road trip!
A road trip to remember: so what we get drunk. . .
I will def stay down in Melbourne until I head over to New Zealand to meet my god-daughter, just because I don’t feel like going anywhere else. It’s like they say, if it ain’t broken, don’t fix it
especially now that some people got their own house and there are a lot of house parties to be held & BBQ to attend I can’t leave and miss out on all of this fun times
I’m so convinced this is the right place I am even trying to get a waitressing job in my favourite place. Not only so I get some money and some entertainment but also I get to eat the delicious food they serve! & to make Melbourne even more attractive at the end of the month I’ll be able to regularly do some Jitsu, thanks to Tim and his dedication to start a club in Melbourne. Exciting times & even if I don’t see the light at the end of the tunnel, I am determined to get my light blue belt by the end of the year. . .
I could go on telling stories, but I gotta get ready for work (wow, feels weird to say getting ready for work after not doing anything for the last 4 month)
Do what you want to do & do it often!
Miss & love you lots and lots
Big love
