February 28th 2015, this is the date I set off for what MIGHT be the biggest vagabond voyage I'll ever take. I am doing this now, while I'm single and have the funds as it may well be my sole opportunity to see this continent. Australia has been at the top of my travel bucket list for eons and now that it has come round, I'm stressed to the max but also walking on sunshine :D
ANYTHING is possible when you travel and that's both the exhilarating and equally terrifying marvel about it for me. So whether that entails falling crazy in love with a devastatingly, handsome surfer who throws shrimps on the barbie (highly unlikely!) or fall headfirst splat into kangaroo poop (a much more probable plausibility since I am a Tweedle Twit) - I'll embrace it all. And try to do so gladly and cheerily. Don't panic, parents I'll endeavour to stay out of prison at all costs :P
This is fair warning, creepy critters of Aussie land - if you cross me I'll let you have it in the kisser! Stay faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrr away from the lil' looney, if you don't want to get smacked in the smackerooney. (Sorry Hayley, if you see this. I swear, I will not lay a finger upon a strand of their fur or whatever enshrouds the animal - even if provoked. I'll scarper!!!)
I'm going to love every minute of my time in Australia, even if I fall flat on my bum doing it. I'm fully aware what a scaredy kitten I have been leading up to this, when everything got on top of me and it all suddenly seemed not so YAYYYYYYYY. It is exactly *this* that will give me the motivation to make the very most of the month I have in a country I won't get to visit for probably years, if ever again.
You can fully expect mini updates/boasty bragging/snapshots of fun/the odd blog keeping you all informed about everything I'm up to. These are coming whether you like it or not (dependent upon how tired I am before bed or if there is wifi while I am resting during a meal) so if you know these will bug you, block or delete or unfollow etc to avoid such travelogues and documentations of amazing or awful things I'm experiencing.
The last plane to crazy town leaves in approximately 19 hours (but my coach to the airport much much sooner) so I should really get some shut eye. Thank you for all your kind messages and well wishes :) I'll think of all of you at home anytime I feel slightly alone, all the way on the other side of the world and need a morale boost. Miss you already xxx
