Welcome to my blog. You can keep up with my crazy travels on here! I hope you all enjoy reading and sharing in my experiences. I encourage you to pretend money isn't an object and come visit me in Australia/New Zealand this year!
Off to Australia for a semester at Bond University in The City of Gold Coast. For those of you that are unfamiliar with Australian geography (myself included) that is about 2 hours south of Brisbane on the East Coast of the country. Bring on the sun and sand! I am more excited than I can say in a few words... I'll be living in a townhouse (five minutes walk from campus) with two other people, Chris and Krista. We each get our own room and bathroom, and then share a kitchen and living/dining room. That is WAY better than my London living situation, although I was in London so I didn't really care. I wasn't sure about living with two other Americans, but at the same time, we're the only Americans in this program for this semester. So it'll be nice to at least know someone and not be completely on my own.
After four months out there, I'll be heading to New Zealand for an internship with a printing company. I'll be receiving college credit for that as well! I don't know much about either place, so I've been researching in travel books and online to find out as much as I can. However, I'm sure I'll learn more in a week being there than any travel guide can tell me....
I have installed a countdown clock onto my Dashboard, and I'm obsessively checking it everyday. As of right now, I leave in 36 days, 5 hours, 7 minutes, and 43 seconds. Perhaps I should start packing?
