time for another

I guess it is time for another one of these bad boys! Seriously, I think I will annoy/clog all your news feeds with numerous blogs for the next several months. I have accepted the fact that I may be unfriended along the way. Apologies in advance.

Tonight marked a crazy milestone in my life and that being saying goodbye to the workplace that I have slaved away at for a good 2.5 years. My social/love and normal life were put on hold and knocked around a bit but it was all worth it. Loved working with amazing people and those late nights were some of the funnest memories I will take with me. To all my partners in crime, you know who you are I will miss you all dearly.

On to more pressing matters, it actually is only less than 2 weeks till I am in very unfamiliar territory. I get asked a lot "how are you feeling scared/nervous/sad/happy/excited etc etc etc???". I honestly am probably feeling a mixture of all of the above & including the etc etc etc. 

The next 2 weeks will include a mixture of sad & maybe happy goodbyes, attempting to pack every single thing into my backpack, relisting for the 10th time some of my not so wanted belongings on ebay (damn auspost upped their prices this week), finalising money with the hopes of the $ rising just a cent more before I exchange and spending some beloved time with my beautiful family & friends.

All I can say is so happy I went through these guys, they have made the transition so super breezy. 





ps. yes I did write this at 2.30 am but please no judgements, that is just how my body clock is wired. 

Until next time :)

There is a first for everything!

Blogging is something I have never done before so be nice.


So a little about my plan of attack for the next stage of my life is to hop over to Canada and do a ski season in Whistler for 2013-2014. I fell in love with Whistler when I went on a radical north american adventure with some friends in 2012. We spent Christmas there and I knew I wanted to be back the following season but for a lot lot longer! The same day I arrived home as a misery guts, I googled some ways in how I could possibly pack up and move over there. I stumbled across The Working Holiday Club and got in contact with Jake who was more than happy to secure a place for me with a cashed up deposit of course. Visa applications, resumes, interviews, more interviews, waiting frantically for a position, getting a position, booking my flights, saving $$$$ and resigning from my job and 9 months later, here I am just about ready to pack up my life and go.


1. I have never done this before
2. No my daddy hasn't help fund for this trip
3. Yes I am going solo
4. Yes I am petrified
5. and finally Yes I am going to be blogging away about my adventures!

So there is a first for everything.  If you haven't had the chance to say goodbye or spend time with me then you better make some contact before it's too late, 3 weeks to go :)
