Sitting down in my final year of university I found myself questioning not what I wanted to do next, but instead where I wanted to go next. I feel that there is a massive pressured pushed onto final year students to apply for graduate jobs and it is perhaps suggested unintentionally that this is the only option for after university.

I fell into that trap to begin with and began to applied for graduate jobs, I was thankful to be accepted into different businesses but I ended up sending the same email to them all:

“I am sorry I do not wish to continue with my application as I believe that this is not the correct step for myself to be taking. I am going to be taking some time to continue my passion of travelling. I hope that you are able to understand that and will consider future applications from myself.”

So now having made the decision to travel I asked myself the question, where are the most surreal places to visit? I started to make a list of everywhere and everything that I wanted to see, this was a very long list. But I was able to narrow it down quite quickly to Australia. So that’s where I am now, living life down under.

From that point I started to look into possible ways about how I was going to make that possible. I decided quite quickly, after having spent many of summers working at a summer camp, that I would like to come out to Australia to begin with as as Au Pair. I am currently coming towards the end of my time au pairing but then I am going on to pretty much travel the entire country,

I have (re)started this blog to share my experiences with other people and to hopefully help answer any questions people may have about making the big move to another country for a long period of time, advice on little trips that I have taken, my experience with Camp America (as this holds a massive place in my heart) and more tailored posts focusing on my time here in Australia (day trips and my longer travel periods.)

So, for now I hope you have found this little insight interesting, so for now make sure to subscribe via email and definitely feel free to check out my Instagram as that’s the platform that I keep most up to date. Also make sure to comment any recommendations for posts that you would like to see in the future.
