I'm moving to Australia!!!
It's been a crazy turn of serendipitous events that led to this, and there was no way I could pass up an opportunity to move to another country. I was met with plenty of resistance when I first started to toy with the idea of moving. A lot of people didn't believe me. Most people didn't understand it. I got plenty of "I'll believe it when I see it"'s and a few "it's just a phase"'s. But mostly, the reaction I received was one of confusion, and a simple question..."why?"
Well my answer to you is.. WHY NOT.
It's that simple really. I'm young, and the amount of responsibilities I have are pretty minimal. I plan to only be in Australia for a year (but am open to the possibilities of extending). I won't be doing this alone either. I'll be moving with Allison. I've known her since the second grade. We lost touch somewhere between high school and college and reconnected at the start of this year. We discovered that we were on identical life paths and that we both wanted only one thing, to travel.
How many times do people say to themselves that they'd love to live elsewhere for a while, be it another country or even another state? Few people actually do it. Most people just dream about it. I still can't believe I'm actually leaving.
To make things a little more interesting, we'll be going to Thailand, Cambodia and the Philippines before I eventually end up in Australia. It's going to be a crazy adventure, and believe me I'll be documenting it all along the way.
Cross your fingers and hope that I pick up an accent! ;)
