When life gives you lemons, make lemonade! Well, life in South Florida has been giving me some pretty honkin' lemons lately, leaving me unemployed and single, so I'm going to take all those lemons Down Under and try to make some lemonade in the Southern hemisphere!
I've got a short-term working visa and a one-way ticket to Cairns, Australia. I don't have a job or friends in Cairns, but I plan on finding both. I'm hoping for a sweet job on a dive boat on the Great Barrier Reef, but I'll settle for a job in a restaurant if it'll pay the bills. I have an apartment for the first month, so that's a step in the right direction... I'm planning on staying until around March if things are going well!
I'm terrified, excited and a million more emotions, but most of them are positive. I think this will be a great adventure and a great opportunity to explore a new place, meet new people and try new things!
The bottom line is that I'm starting up this silly ol' blog again because I'm leaving in ONE WEEK. Hopefully I'll be filling this with entertaining stories, anecdotes of my ridiculous life and photos! Stay tuned, folks...
This sounds like a great adventure! I can't wait to hear about your adventures in Australia! Know that we are thinking about you and wishing you an amazing journey :-)
ReplyDeleteI think it is a freaking awesome idea/adventure whatever. seize the day girlie...you only live once and cannot ever go back to dmyl with regrets of any kind.....whether they were do or don't do regrets. I have many at 52 have preached quite a few thousand times to my kids....go do it, try it, if you love it great, if you don't move on. it will be one less thing to regret when you are older. stay safe sweet adventurer, I am envious beyond words. you will do fine! maybe you will find what you need, or it will find you. if not, you will have awesome memories. EVERYTHING WORKS OUT FOR THE BEST, always. Love always, Laura.
