Ever since I first learned about Australia in the fourth grade, it has been my dream to travel there. Now I will be spending a year in the land down under starting mid-September. This will not just be a trip to experience Australia; however, it will be a much needed journey of self-discovery. While diving the reef, visiting museums and cafes, trekking on camels and ogling roos I can gain perspective, understanding and a love for the life I aspire to. Hope you enjoy traveling with me!

I'm coming home


I’m home now and definitely jet lagged. It’s been really strange coming home, it feels different than I expected it would. It has almost seemed as if it is too comfortable here, as if I never left. It is the weirdest feeling that I have ever felt, it’s as if the last eight months were all a dream and never happened,

I have already spent hours looking through my photos and reminiscing, yet it seems as if all those memories belong to someone else. It has only been just over 12 hours since I actually got back to Ontario, and that was after 40 hours of traveling, so maybe I just have to give myself some time to adjust.

The last leg of my journey wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be, although I only finally slept on the plane from Vancouver to Toronto. Vancouver International definitely deserves the title as one of the most sleepable airports in the world. It was perfect from a travelers point of view. Food spots that stayed open 24 hours, quiet areas with dimmed lights, and friendly security that kept an eye on you. Too bad the jet lag had me wide awake yet exhausted. Thank goodness for free wifi so that I was able to watch a movie and get back in contact with the outside world.

So now I’m home. Mum and Dad met me at the airport, and I’m now in my nice comfy bed in my room back in Wasaga Beach. I just had breakfast, and now it’s time to go back to sleep.
