<br /></div>
<div>
First of all I want to thank the anonymous person who commented on my latest post, warms my heart! Definitely makes it feel less like an inner monologue. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This trip included:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>1 completed barschool</li>
<li>8 visited cities/towns/villages - whatever you might want to call them </li>
<li>1st scuba dive and skydiving experience </li>
<li>Several sunburns (mostly reminiscing about my burned face after falling asleep at Victoria Park and Sue's legs after a day at Penguin Island thinking she could tan like me) </li>
<li>Some tears (Tea getting kicked out from Manly, all the goodbyes I had to say) </li>
<li>Realizing that my American accent is never going to disappear </li>
<li>Getting to know some of the most amazing people!!! </li>
<li>Falling in love with the country most of y'all know as <b>Australia.</b></li>
</ul>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
</div>
<div>
I thought I'd do a short pros and cons list of each place I visited, with some tips of what to purchase or what to see. I'm putting this in two parts to try to keep it shorter. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Sydney</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
My first stop on the trip and the place I stayed the longest at. I loved the big city life, even though Sydney has nothing on New York… well maybe the weather. In Sydney you definitely need to buy an opal card to travel around the city, since everything is so far away. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
+ Newtown - a cute area of the city with a small town vibe with its old buildings and artwork on the walls of the buildings. If you're going out in Newtown I would recommend going to Zanzibar. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
+ Bondi Beach/Coogee coastal walk - I didn't walk all the way from Bondi to Coogee, but I did do some morning runs while I was staying with Tea and the views are definitely worth the walk. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
+ Darling Harbor - awesome bars and an even more awesome movie theatre (if you want to splurge a bit). However it is worth the money as it is has one of the biggest screens in the world. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
- Expensive </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
- Surfing - I'd probably do surfing in Byron Bay with its more chill atmosphere and surfy vibes, but you can still do it at the famous beaches like Bondi and Manly.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
- It is a big city and you have to take time to get form one place to another - not so fun. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Melbourne </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Melbs was probably the least favorite part of my trip. However I definitely blame the fact that I was by myself and didn't exactly know where to go and what to do. It didn't help that the weather was crap, along with the hostel. </div>

+ The cafes! I found so many cute places with good food and coffee.</div>
<div>
+ Hosier Lane and the artwork in general - this is definitely the city for artists! </div>
<div>
- Discovery Melbourne - the rooms stank and it was just not my favorite place</div>
<div>
- The weather - in Melbourne you never know what you're going to get. </div>

+ Freemantle Market - definitely a thing you should do while visiting Perth. It's only open from Friday to Sunday, but that only makes it better. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
+ North Beach - and all the beaches in general. I personally thought they were the best ones of all the beaches I visited in Australia. Okay, maybe not Whitsunday Island, but you can't compare. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
- You kinda need to have a car, or at least I think it would be kinda hard to get to the best secluded beaches without one. Thank goodness for Sue and her awesome car! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
- Perth is also pretty expensive…</div>

I'm back home in Finland and secretly thinking about when the next trip will be. First however I need to do some things here in Finland.<br />
<br />
I was thinking about writing a post about the pros and cons of each of the places I visited. Would that be something y'all would like to read about?<br />
After that I'm not sure I will continue writing this blog. Mostly because I don't have that much to write about, but also because I don't want to stress about writing.<br />
<br />
Being home feels the same. It's honestly like I never left. I've loved being with my family again and being able to see my friends. Those are the ones I only really miss when being away. Finland, especially this time of year, is not something I miss that much when I'm away, and I think that is why I can definitely picture myself living somewhere else than Finland in the future. I would however want to spend the summers here because that is when this country really delivers. Lol<br />
I'm slowly getting back to my life at home. I know I've only been here for 3 whole days, but it really isn't that hard to get used to it. I have a couple of shifts this week, which I'm excited about, and at the end of the month the girls and I are driving up to Vasa again for the annual pampas dagarna. Super pumped about that! Especially since it hopefully will be my new hometown next year!!! Speaking of which, my studious life will begin in April, and a part of me is dreading it. Mostly due to the fact that I haven't been in school in over a year and I'm afraid I've become stupid and forgot how to study. Is that even possible? Seriously sometimes I'm scared of the most ridiculous things!<br />
<br />
Anyways, I still need to get my pictures on the computer, and a couple of videos. If I can manage it I would love to put parts of my skydive here for y'all to see.<br />
<br />
For now I'll just leave y'all with this song I've had on replay today.<br />

I don't mind though because I realized that I was only going there to visit my friend for a day and the zoo, so it felt kinda pointless? Especially since I went to the Sanctuary and all. </div><div>Instead I took the bus straight to Surfers Paradise. </div><div>I pictured it to be something completely different to be quite frank.

Lol. </div><div><br></div><div>Anyways the hostel is pretty bad. I hit my head everytime I try to get into my bunkbed and I'm like a hobbit, so good luck tall people. I also had one of the worst nights last night. </div><div>I live in like an apartment complex, with one room with 4 bunkbeds, and another 4 beds in like the livingroom area? I ended up in the livingroom area with 3 German boys, who only speak German and listen to their music nonstop on full volume. During the day I honestly don't mind, but last night they ended up going out, and I woke up to them coming home, which is fine, but what wasn't OK, was them starting to slam doors and yell something incomprehendable and to play their music at 2 in the morning. </div><div>What annoyed me even more is the 3 Swedish girls living in the other room in the complex and they are ALWAYS slamming their door at like 7AM. I mean come on? It is as if people don't know what being respectful is. </div><div>So I'm a pretty tired girl right now, looking forward to move on to Byron Bay tomorrow where the hostel is supposed to be quite big.

If you ever find yourselves in Brisbane, I highly recommend doing this! It's kinda pricey, I guess? But so worth it!! And it's in Brisbane, so from Indooroopilly where I was staying, it only took like 15 minutes by bus to get there.<br />
<br />
I'm going to let the pictures speak for themselves. Get ready, they are pretty awesome! I even tried photographing the most of the animals manually, so it was heaps of fun getting to play a nature photographer.<br />

My second favorite part of the day were this little rascals! Except some of them were FAR from little. The male ones were in fact HUGE! They had bigger biceps than a lot of my guy friends. And of course I'd just watched the Modern Family episode where they go to Australia and Phil gets punched in the face by one, so I was a bit apprehensive when it started hopping towards me. Lol! </div>

It's so much fun and a good way to meet locals. Pascale is from Germany, but has been living in both NZ and OZ, for a long time. </div><div>I've had so much fun with her showing me around the city, watching movies and TV-shows and just chilling.</div><div>So, so far couchsurfing has been a positive experience and I'm happy I decided to do it and sad to be leaving tomorrow. Hopefully my other two hosts will be as nice as Pascale. </div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-XQ_d5D4nHQtF79h-So97b-s2yhOBM5VYCPaxhpAPIazRm-kglIA0zVss9FHF9MAdMFsRr97JD1ytULMHW-3nb645w7quuxRdyPGFZluvW5kdhRyJ7jubXdP6PtOaPJsEeZGVUPR0LTEc/s640/blogger-image-733559380.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-XQ_d5D4nHQtF79h-So97b-s2yhOBM5VYCPaxhpAPIazRm-kglIA0zVss9FHF9MAdMFsRr97JD1ytULMHW-3nb645w7quuxRdyPGFZluvW5kdhRyJ7jubXdP6PtOaPJsEeZGVUPR0LTEc/s640/blogger-image-733559380.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMsfxPChfKx55eZK4Mn0MRTc0DvRYICyRGuKpa-VWRCOQkez0OCrIaKmxA6A9D67ROA0y2nA2xcxzBufU9t96Jq6kF3C4ZaVtwVqb4mUU_PRwmXgJKkMqlGyGhaue1eFCGQOJ35cMG656Y/s640/blogger-image-372569905.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMsfxPChfKx55eZK4Mn0MRTc0DvRYICyRGuKpa-VWRCOQkez0OCrIaKmxA6A9D67ROA0y2nA2xcxzBufU9t96Jq6kF3C4ZaVtwVqb4mUU_PRwmXgJKkMqlGyGhaue1eFCGQOJ35cMG656Y/s640/blogger-image-372569905.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK_5GOvXdR6mhCc5JrOW2Ljlw9L6F5rZgxLqnBqVOr1DbRYLh8IA5Pukgu-nI5Ty06pkXaHNNqzd3WwzfU4H8MBii5N96n1c_eZJEyFF2eRggVss6Nh0-VR7jELw8dwwUIN-dj4EvoC80h/s640/blogger-image-685133636.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK_5GOvXdR6mhCc5JrOW2Ljlw9L6F5rZgxLqnBqVOr1DbRYLh8IA5Pukgu-nI5Ty06pkXaHNNqzd3WwzfU4H8MBii5N96n1c_eZJEyFF2eRggVss6Nh0-VR7jELw8dwwUIN-dj4EvoC80h/s640/blogger-image-685133636.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><br></div><br></div><br></div>Anskuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10352167926480726143noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8429341184634615547.post-31820653814893326262015-02-08T05:04:00.001+02:002015-02-08T05:04:24.792+02:00Brisbane<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Heya folks! </span></div><div><br></div><div>I arrived in Brisbane last night, and safe to say I didn't see much on the way to the place where I'm staying, since it was already dark. </div><div>I have 19 days left of my trip and I've budgeted the last weeks in order to be able to enjoy Sydney properly when I get there on the 23rd/24th!

<br />
<b>Did you have a lot of money saved up when you left? Is Australia expensive and what kind of budget would be good to have when going there? </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Australia is considered an expensive country, but that doesn't mean that you can't do things cheap. You just need to plan ahead a lot. When you start researching for your trip all the sites say to have at least 5000 dollars in savings when coming here, which is about 3000€. Personally, I've been using my money pretty well. I spent more than I had planned in Perth, and on this last part of my trip I'm doing more activities like diving, and maybe sailing? What I try to save on is food. That means a lot of noodles, less of the expensive stuff - like eating out. I also haven't been partying that much, so if that is what you would like to do here, I'd save up even more because alcohol is very expensive...<br />
So I would say that the number one thing is to do research before you leave and really think about where you want to go and what you want to do there. I think that has helped me a lot.<br />
I should also say that a hostel isn't the thing you should be saving at, especially if you're by yourself. Look at the reviews and if they're good (hinta-laatu suhde), then book it! You don't want to live alone at a crappy hostel, and be scared of living there.<br />
Hope this somewhat helped. I don't really want to say how much money I had, but it was what was recommended.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>How expensive are the hostels ? And the prices in general? </b><br />
I've been surprised by how easy it is to get a good and cheap hostel here. The one in Melbourne was the most expensive one so far, and it sucked, so that even tells you to not always pick the most expensive one.<br />
If you plan on going to Cairns, Gilligan's is the way to go! I would suggest downloading the app hostelbooker. Not only do they pretty much have all the available hostels in Australia, but also other places in the world!<br />
Prices in general are OK. The alcohol compared to Finland is more expensive (can you believe it?), but the clothes are a bit cheaper, you just have to find the right stores. Food is pretty much the same and eating out as well.<br />
Activities can get expensive, but in the end I would rather spend more money on a good trip, then be disappointed.<br />
All in all, if you want a cheap backpacking trip, Australia is not the place for you. Then I would suggest you backpacking through Asia or even South America.<br />
<br />
Even though Australia is quite expensive, I would still recommend it. There is so much to see, and definitely something for everyone. I love this place and I already feel sad about leaving it in a month.Anskuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10352167926480726143noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8429341184634615547.post-41754394871127807312015-01-28T04:08:00.000+02:002015-01-28T07:17:17.206+02:00Cairns<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Cairns is unbelievable!

Monday was Australia Day. The Australian girls I roomed with told me that it pretty much is a day where they celebrate Captain Cook landing on the Australian soil, and with their words - ruined Australia. Lol. They were joking of course. </div>

The day pretty much consisted of drinking and having a good time with friends, while you're wearing a lot of Aussie stuff and kid's tattoos. I was going diving the next day, so I stopped drinking at 4PM.</div>
<div>
I had so much fun, and as a huge America fan, I'm even more excited to experience the 4th of July.<br>

Yesterday I went for a diving and snorkelling trip with two other Finnish girls from Jyvaskyla, which is kinda funny since that's where my Mom is from. The world seems so small sometimes! </div>
<div>
We woke up early in the morning to drive to Port Douglas where our ship was leaving from. Then we drove to 3 different reefs for some snorkelling and diving. The diving definitely made my trip! At first I was freaking out about not being able to do it, but it really wasn't that hard at all. And man did you see some beautiful things down there. Everything from nemo, to huge finger eating shells, starfish,, everything imaginable! It was pretty much like the movie Finding Nemo. I saw all but Dory, but since she's lost anyway, I guess it's alright. </div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyHJ1vVwX6oDLtMq-8yE1t_eMeClpZk1om66XUh0Hwy74_dKflstVHSJl_4BihpDMJy670Dj4tcdy1fo4DGjCjMmOf5PmeiuDbfEbhRQOVe_MTtPHiViT6z-hGVzPMQGRqfq0wiGrVtWTT/s640/blogger-image-393513340.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyHJ1vVwX6oDLtMq-8yE1t_eMeClpZk1om66XUh0Hwy74_dKflstVHSJl_4BihpDMJy670Dj4tcdy1fo4DGjCjMmOf5PmeiuDbfEbhRQOVe_MTtPHiViT6z-hGVzPMQGRqfq0wiGrVtWTT/s640/blogger-image-393513340.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfPAdSBk9HTPZuRdnMFUFAmnNZCljnNEsCkf1s1Gc40dxCBLNYd_oC5kYLF8asfT3s6DXPEYTWdPQ7okoM9-NLwRMoUV1ddone3PUdgKo7zdBgD3B-lmJTrc-veR6_TuQ4n_eAjEuVFowq/s640/blogger-image-213920819.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfPAdSBk9HTPZuRdnMFUFAmnNZCljnNEsCkf1s1Gc40dxCBLNYd_oC5kYLF8asfT3s6DXPEYTWdPQ7okoM9-NLwRMoUV1ddone3PUdgKo7zdBgD3B-lmJTrc-veR6_TuQ4n_eAjEuVFowq/s640/blogger-image-213920819.jpg"></a></div><br></div><br></div>

<br />
I had an amazing 11 days in Perth, and mostly it was because of Sue and her wonderful family!<br />
I got to sleep in an actual bed and cook my own food without having 20 other people trying to do it at the same time. I also got to meet some amazing people and finally speak nothing but English. My American accent is as strong as ever and the only things I've managed to get stuck on me from the Aussie accent is "heaps" and "no worries".<br />

I liked Perth as a city. It wasn't as busy and hectic as Melbourne and Sydney, and the beaches were amazing!! So if you're a beach bum like me, you should most definitely hit up Perth. The shopping is more expensive, but the prices on food is okay. I spent more than I had intended in Perth, but I got to live for free, so it's fine. </div>

The easiest way to get around Perth is by driving. They do have public transport, but some of the places we went to definitely required a car. I also got to experience my first drive on the wrong side of the road, and it was terrifying.<br />

Perth had some cute places to do tourist-y stuff at, but nothing like the bigger places. I was personally tired of all that and just wanted to have a chill vacay with my friend, which definitely happened.<br />

Thank you Sue for being my first Australian friend! I'm so happy to have you! We finish each others sandwiches and what-not. I'm going to miss you so much going back home and while travelling around down under.<br />

Usually the sealions like to sleep closely to each other, but this one had decided that it wanted to be photographed all day long. <br />

These penguins are the smallest ones of their species and the shyest. The oldest was called Louie and he was 31 years old, and while the other ones did dives and caught fish in the pool, he just floated around like he didn't have a care in the world.<br />

The island in itself was incredible, with clear turquoise water! A lot of people were snorkelling around the island, but apparently there wasn't that much to see...<br />

All in all the trip was a great success as you can see in the picture below. I didn't care to look pretty so I'm sorry for the facial expression haha! Also it looks like I'm super pale.... Time to bring out the big guns (tanning oil). <br />

Otherwise Perth is awesome!! I've pretty much stayed at Sue's and only go to the hostel to change my clothes, but since the price for one night is like 15$ I honestly don't care. Besides Sue's bed is so much more comfortable and the shower is perfect. <br />
Tomorrow we'll either hit the beach or go to the market and in the evening we're going to her friends homecoming party, so fun times!

Positive anyways. Haha, jk. </div><div><br></div><div>I need to confess that this is the first time</div><div>I've been wanting to be back in finnyland since I came here. I'm just so over the big cities and want to just do other fun stuff than sightseeing, you know? </div><div>And I don't like my hostel that much. It had good reviews and that's why I picked it, but it's more for people who just want to party all the time. </div><div><br></div><div>1st of all: it's too big, so you don't really get the opportunity to meet people unless you room with them </div><div>- during my first days I roomed with a bunch of asians, and let me tell you that it is hard trying to start a conversation with people who only speak whatever they're speaking. I also had 3 britt's or some other English speaking persons, but they were never in the room. Partypeople.</div><div><br></div><div>2nd of all: the kitchen sucks! Stoves don't work, you have no space to put your food in the fridge and breakfast consists of cerial (weetabix or cornflakes) and toast with pb&j... Thank goodness that I actually like PB these days!</div><div><br></div><div>3rd of all: the room smells so bad! </div><div><br></div><div>4th: the cleaning guy is so rude. I came out of the shower hoping for some privacy, which you rarely get and he just continues cleaning like he has no care in the world. Sorry, but the reason I bring my clothes and lotions and crap is because I want to be able to change clothes WITHOUT guys staring at my half-naked body. I had to literally squeeze into this tiny toilet cubicle to change. (I room with both guys and girls)</div><div><br></div><div>5th: I woke up last night to a new guy being high on something and just walking around the room in circles unzipping/zipping his own bag like a thousand times. At least I hope it was his bag...? I have all my valuables in a locked locker, but my backpack was laying next to my bed, so I stayed up over 2 hours until the guy crashed just in case. </div><div>Mom 1&2: I have my pepperspray close to me just in case. LOL. </div><div>Safe to say I was pissed and told him today that if he ever did that again, I would report him. </div><div><br></div><div>What saved me was two days of beachtime! Ah, I've missed it so much! </div><div>So all in all, I'm in a good mood, just kinda ready to go to Perth and the East Coast, especially since it's supposed to rain the rest of the week....

Probably got it from my grandma's whom both had (one still has) the most amazing gardens! If I ever get my own, big house I most definitely want to have a beautiful garden, and if I can't do it by myself I'll just ask my grandma to come and do it for me. She's a superwoman who will probably live another 15 years minimum. So no worries as they say here in OZ.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Speaking of my grandma...

The ride here was not fun, so I'm thinking that I'm done with the buses for a while. At least if the ride is over 5hours long. <div>I also ended up sitting next to a girl that nicely put hadn't taken care of her personal hygiene, and she kept leaning on me. Yay! </div><div><br></div><div>Anyways, the check-in wasn't until 2PM, so I went to library that had free wi-fi. Apparently the library is something you should go and see in Melbourne, so I guess I can cross that one off my list of things to see.</div><div>The hostel is nice enough I guess... The room is for 12persons, so it's safe to say that it isn't the cleanest, but haven't seen any bedbugs so that's good! </div><div>One of the girls in my room was from Sweden and she arrived here today as well, so we sorta started to hangout together. She's leaving for Tasmania in two days though. </div><div>Writing this I actually just met some guys from the hostel aswell and they seem pretty cool! So I guess I'll have a fun time here. I know I'm being extremely vague, but I'm like so exhausted and just want to sleep. So definitely no partying here tonight. I'll probably do something tourist-y stuff tomorrow. Or maybe just hit the beach, since it's supposed to be like 40+.....</div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjR_mh-DOCuepQ7RKDdpjtX-_6Z_ojub2I24FUo6HmMNfVDk_vft3gnFxc_i18CTTjA2ePzC3z7lZz0nFNt6LNTTpLT9OfpAjkSlcqgyEVVTCTwykGvGInv_NFvyNWU1jHNm6FhOqVOvzCR/s640/blogger-image-699830964.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjR_mh-DOCuepQ7RKDdpjtX-_6Z_ojub2I24FUo6HmMNfVDk_vft3gnFxc_i18CTTjA2ePzC3z7lZz0nFNt6LNTTpLT9OfpAjkSlcqgyEVVTCTwykGvGInv_NFvyNWU1jHNm6FhOqVOvzCR/s640/blogger-image-699830964.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizitjzlTo0ThTDKA7SkBskzjPl8pxyjxKFEhKHqnbkuNLdvJOiEDzMTeq_YbXAr2u7ir77t7z2oRuWppmg245J3PsUYzrGUDHoXNXqXwNDC_nym0hK7wDMXALR3rT0R08H9zUffUIbMHzB/s640/blogger-image-660819931.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizitjzlTo0ThTDKA7SkBskzjPl8pxyjxKFEhKHqnbkuNLdvJOiEDzMTeq_YbXAr2u7ir77t7z2oRuWppmg245J3PsUYzrGUDHoXNXqXwNDC_nym0hK7wDMXALR3rT0R08H9zUffUIbMHzB/s640/blogger-image-660819931.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC3AbNjP4mM0QEbWcLSoCwrZx86DMI1v9QJpLw3H6scSM6alRwQUDxIUeMM34K_HjPQOPKSg8_7IwAJE2_uFetq3nud4YyR6vlQ8mjG9YSDsYBhDzM2tPmOezu90U5hN2yq8wdQcYZ88NW/s640/blogger-image--709574025.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC3AbNjP4mM0QEbWcLSoCwrZx86DMI1v9QJpLw3H6scSM6alRwQUDxIUeMM34K_HjPQOPKSg8_7IwAJE2_uFetq3nud4YyR6vlQ8mjG9YSDsYBhDzM2tPmOezu90U5hN2yq8wdQcYZ88NW/s640/blogger-image--709574025.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><br></div><br></div>Anskuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10352167926480726143noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8429341184634615547.post-15117661723913294402015-01-01T11:29:00.001+02:002015-01-01T11:29:06.362+02:002015Good evening folks! <div><br></div><div>Last night was probably the craziest New Years I've had so far.... </div><div>We started the night off by having some pre drinks at Tea's co-workers flat. There was like maybe 8 people all in all, and 5 of them were Swedes. It's like Sweden is taking over Sydney. I'm definitely hoping for less Swedish in the other parts of Australia... </div><div>Anyhow, one of the other people living in that flat invited us to her friend's house, and since it was pretty much impossible to get into town, we thought why not. </div><div>What we hadn't expected was this super nice O.C-ish house with a bunch of rich kids in it. </div><div>The house had a sundeck on the roof and that was where we watched the fireworks.

We took the train to Katoomba, which is like a 2 hour train-ride from Sydney. After that you still need to take a bus to the Echo Point and the Three Sisters, which were the places we really wanted to see.<br />
We also wanted to see the falls, but the bus that was supposed to take us there, never showed up.<br />
<br />
Anyhow, I'm basically just going to add pictures. I do want to say that it was extremely beautiful and that we did the Great Stairway-thing, or as we like to call it, the stairs from hell.... Seriously. I can't remember the last time I was that out of breath. It was 1000 steps down and another 1000 steps up, safe to say the going down part was the easier. Even though that wasn't that easy either.<br />

<br>
My plans are kinda open. All I know is that I'm meeting up Téa at her workplace in Bondi, and after that we're going to her place for some tacos and drinks. After that we're going to one of her co-workers apartment to hang out.<br>
We'll be watching the fireworks at Darling Harbor, which also happens to have some cool clubs! I honestly don't really care what we do because knowing from experience New Year's always suck if you stress about it.<br>
<br>
I wanted to do a recap of this year, but had a hard time finding good questions, until I found some good ones on Jessicas blog. Thanks for that love!!<br>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: 900;">Your biggest success in 2014?</span></div>

The same people I always miss when I'm not with them. I'm so happy that I got to see my American familia twice this year! That is something extra-special! And of course now I miss everyone in my family. Both my biological and host one.... And all my friends now that I'm here. </div>

<div>
The sense of routines I guess. The first months of 2015 will pretty much be me running from one place to the other, and I when I get home I don't know if I have a job or not, and I need to start studying for my entrance exam, so I'm going to miss that feeling of just knowing what I'm supposed to do. </div>

It's warm, but overcast and it looked like it was going to rain. It didn't though.<br />
<div>
Today I have done nothing at all, but sometimes you need days like those. I did workout, and plan for our trip to the Blue Mountains tomorrow. Yay, more touristy things to do. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But I'm not here to tell you about what I'm doing tomorrow because I want to do it when I've actually done it. If that somewhat makes sense? </div>
<div>
What I wanted to tell y'all was the plans for the next part of my backpackers life. </div>
<div>
On the 2nd of January I'm hopping up on a bus and going to Melbourne! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
To be quite honest... I'm getting tired of Sydney. I've been here for over a month now and kinda feel like I've done it all. I most likely haven't, but I like to pretend that I have because it gets me all excited for everything else I'll be doing here in Aussieland. </div>
<div>
I'll be spending 10 days in what I've heard to be one of the greatest cities in OZ. I even found a hostel where they serve breakfast! Awesomeness overload. </div>
<div>
After 10 days of conquering Melbourne, I'm flying to see my favorite Australian person on the whole planet - Sue. She lives in Perth, were apparently Penguins roam some beach near it, and I so happen to love Penguins, and Sue. SO YAY! </div>
<div>
After an awesome time in Perth I was juggling two options...</div>
<div>
1) Ayers Rock or Uluru as many of y'all might know it as</div>
<div>
2) flying straight to the Great Barrier Reef aka. Cairns, which is the city I'll be sleeping in. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I really wanted to see that stupid, sacred rock, but the trip there is like 500euros more expensive and I'd rather use that money for something like learning how to scubadive, or even better: SKYDIVING. </div>
<div>
So I will not be going to see one of the wonders of the world, but I'm okay with it. I would be doing it by myself anyways, and have no one to take pictures with, so screw that. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This decision leads to option number 2!!!! I'll be flying to Cairns on the 22nd of January, or that is what it looks like as of now. If I'm loving Perth, I might stay a bit longer, but I will be on the east coast before February, since I want to be able to do everything I want too, before I fly home on the 27th. </div>
<div>
On my list of places to go to is definitely:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>whitehaven beach (ummm, yes please?) </li>
<li>Mission Beach (heard they have an amazing skydiving thingy there) </li>
<li>Surfers Paradise (just because I'd like to think I'm cool) </li>
<li>Brisbane (duhh) </li>
</ul>
<div>
And maybe some other places I have yet not heard of, but will. YAY for freedom and all that. </div>
</div>
<div>
TO be honest, I did miss work a little bit today. I'm kinda bad with not doing anything. Lol. </div>
<div>
<br />
Hugs and kisses to everyone, but especially to Isa and Meri because they have finally stopped being teenagers and turned to young adults! YAY, for 20! 21 is way better though. 36more days until that. </div>

<br /></div>
<div>
As the title might suggest, Téa and I went to the Taronga Zoo today. It is located on an island right next to Sydney and it's a 12minute ferry ride. </div>
<div>
This was probably one of the coolest things I've done so far, but I was a little bit disappointed with the fact that at this zoo you weren't able to cuddle the koalas, and the kangaroos weren't really that close. SO I'm definitely going to another zoo where I can in fact cuddle a koala. That has been on my bucket list for as long as I can remember. </div>
<div>
The coolest animal we saw was this gigantic gorilla. Man, it was ridiculous. We also saw its mate and this 8 week old baby gorilla. </div>
<div>
Now I think that all the talking is done and I will instead show pictures of the amazing animals we saw. </div>
<div>
P.S. I felt like I was a little kid on Christmas morning at the zoo. </div>
<div>
