This summer I decided to start planning a trip to Australia.

I didn’t know if I was going to make it, but I started planning my trip. I chose 4 places to visit, giving myself a month to go to them all.

I got a notebook and wrote all my ideas down:

-who I knew that was in Australia or that had been there

– approximately the prices of flights, hostels, living expenses..

I then started asking around at work and to people who I knew had been there! I got some great advice that helped guide me to where I am today.

The main problem was convincing my parents I was going to do this…. ALONE

All parents worry, so I fully understand why my parents where reluctant to the idea at first. But I slowly managed to convince them that this is really want I want to do. Although they will always be worried, I will make sure that I take all the right precautions when I’m there…

Once I got the tickets, I don’t think my parents or anyone else to that matter, could believe that I was actually going to do this on my own! I have great support🥰

So here I am, I’ve got my visa (check out my blog about how I got it..), my tickets and my backpack and I’m ready to go… 🌴✈️
