Living life like we should

“The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.” -St. Augustine


So for those of you who don't know, for the past 5 months I've been on a little adventure....and by little I mean I packed up and moved to the other side of the world. Twenty seven hours of travel, $1,600 and two suitcases with the destination Brisbane Australia. I lived three weeks in Brisbane and then went for a visit of Surfers Paradise (the name says it all). I went back to Brisbane, packed my bags, and moved into a little apartment a block away from the ocean in Surfers. I worked at QT, a luxury designer hotel as a hostess, server and barista in their restaurant outlets, and saved up some money to go on what has been my most amazing trip to date: Ten days on the road seeing the most amazing sites in Australia. I fed a tiger at Dreamworld, got kissed by a seal at Underwater world, swam in Lake Mackenzie and floated down Eli Creek on Fraser Island, visited the largest waterfall in Australia, and snorkeled the Great Barrier Reef. The people are so friendly and laid back, and the sights are absolutely breathtaking. I still cant believe that I actually live here.
So what about getting a big girl job and moving back to the states and settling down and getting a mini van with some carseats??? Ehhh, I'll save it for my thirties :) Time is love. Gotta run.
