Out with the old, in with the new!!


It's been quite some time since I last sat down to blog my life away... Funnily enough, I started this blog to scribe what I had on paper and put it out on the world wide web for everyone to enjoy. I soon found that detailing a 30+ day trip all over again was going to be a little more fiddly and tedious than first expected.

So it's time to start a fresh and move on from the amazing adventures in Europe and talk about getting back to reality... boo! Reality can be a very harsh thing, and after a holiday it hits you.. hard! I went from being free of responsibilities (except for my passport) and soaking up the summer sun in the Greek Islands, to forgetting that any of that had even happened and being thrust right back into life. Uni, work, friendships, relationships - life.

This is not to suggest that I have a bad life in any way, shape or form, in fact I live a pretty blessed life - an amazing family, fabulous friends, a great job and the ability to pick and choose what I want to do with my spare time.. but that doesn't stop the bumps along the way.

Upon arrival in Brisbane I started the interning process - something I'd been saying I would do for a long time, but used overseas as a great excuse not to work for free. I started at a television company for one week and then moved into PR, which is where I now, 6 months on, work part-time and thank God that I finally found a career that fits with me.

I also turned 21 in September of 2010, which was an exciting event, although it came and went as quickly as every other birthday, just with a much bigger party and an overload of expensive gifts - I was very spoilt.

Not long after this, my European travel partner and I decided to call it quits after what can only be described as an amazing 11 months together.. looking back now it was not breaking up, but giving up... and it is a fine line between the two. There is alot more to this story and it will be continued in blogs that follow...


Christmas and New Years then passed without too much drama outside of my broken down relationship and then 2011 was upon me! I feel that this is the year to take on the world - new job, new relationship status, new life! woo!
