Christmas in Shepparton
2016年12月24日, オーストラリア ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C
I am very lucky that I met some lovely Australian people when I was living in London. Krystal is one of them. She used to teach at the school I was working at.
She's been kind enough to invite me to celebrate Christmas with her and her family in Shepparton. It is about two hours driving north of Melbourne.
I spend a couple of days with her and her family, get to see the town, and even make a day trip to Echuca, where we have a ride on an old fashioned paddle steamer on the Yara river and have lunch at a winery.
Christmas has all the traditions in it. It was very ozie as it involved barbecues, pavlova and a pool, but was also traditional (British), in the sense that there was roast turkey, roast ham and a plum pudding to finish it all off.
I had an amazing time, and although I missed my family at home, being able to join another family celebration made it a lot better!もっと詳しく

Sydney - Melbourne
2016年12月18日, オーストラリア ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C
After Sydney, it is time to move on to Melbourne. I've been waiting to visit this city ever since I got here, since I heard so many great things about it.
This time a train instead of driving. A night train!
Unfortunatly, Australia isn't the most modern when it comes to train networks. Instead of a hight speed train line, it is still a very slow and oldfashioned train line and it takes no less than 11 hours to get me to Melbourne.
Getting a bed in the train was a bit too expensive, so I had to do with a normal chair. Comfortable, but not really a place to sleep. I got a few little naps in here and there, but didn't sleep much all together.
In the morning, ariving bright and early, I am being picked up by my new host family. Sophie and Payton. A french single mum and her gorgious 4-year old daughter. I will stay with them for about two months, until the end of the summer holidays.もっと詳しく

Although the weather was a bit all over the place (scorching hot one day, rain all day the next), I got to see quite a few amazing places in and around this city.もっと詳しく

Coffs Harbour - Sydney
2016年12月11日, オーストラリア ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C
Another good 6 hours of driving brings me in the heart of Sydney. With the help of my phone, I manage to get to the hostel easily. The traffic in the city is crazy, with very narrow lanes all of a sudden (especially after driving on the motorway for so long), but everything goes well and I arrive safely at the hostel. I check in, drop of my luggage and then drive the car to the rental company to drop it off. I take the bus back into the city and go for a nice walk into the heart of Sydney. I'm ready for a week of being a tourist again!もっと詳しく

Brisbane - Coffs Harbour
2016年12月10日, オーストラリア ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C
Time for a new adventure! I'm leaving Brisbane behind and I'm driving down to Sydney. I got a relocation van, so I'm driving myself! It is really weird in the beginning to sit on the wrong side of the car. Luckily I don't have to worry about the gears, as it's an automatic.
A short stop in Byron bay for lunch gets me to Coffs Harbour in the late afternoon. All together about 6 hours driving, so that's not too bad.
After all that driving, a nice relaxing walk along the beach is great, finished off with a lovely dinner and a good night sleep, so I can start driving again early in the morning to get to Sydney.もっと詳しく

Brisbane to Byron Bay
2016年8月4日, オーストラリア ⋅ 🌬 16 °C
I have some time left begore I start au pairing, so I might as well make the most of it. Therefore I decided to head towards Byron Bay. Every traveller I met was in love with this place, so I had to go check it out for myself.
Unfortunatly, the weather isn't cooperating. It has been raining all day today, with some short sunny moments in between.
Hopefully it will clear out so I can go and enjoy the beautiful beaches!もっと詳しく

Work!
2016年8月3日, オーストラリア ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C
After all the facebook searched, emails, text and phonecalls, a decision is finally made.
I will start au pairing with a lovely family in Hamilton, Brisbane. They have two little boys, 5 and 6 years old. I will help take care of the boys and do the housekeeping. In return I get to live in my own little house with bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and living room to myself. They also provide meals and generous pocket money.
The house itself has been recently renovated and is absolutely beautiful (and comes with a pool, a gym, a cinema room and so much more). It also had some amazing views over the river and the city.
I start working the 15th of August and will stay with them until the beginning of December. After that, I'll travel to Sydney and Melbourne.もっと詳しく

Mini farm experience
2016年8月1日, オーストラリア ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C
I met a family that lived on a farm half an hour out of Toowoomba, two hours inland from Brisbane. They invited me to spend a couple of days with them, so I could get an idea what it was like there. This was one of the families I could potentially work for.
I went there from Monday to Wednesday and had a great time. I got to drive around the fields to check if any cows where giving birth, got to meet their 4 lovely children and their busy school lives as well as enjoy the peace and tranquillity of the outdoors.
A great couple of days and a lovely experience with some warm and welcoming people!もっと詳しく

Brisbane
2016年7月30日, オーストラリア ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C
This weekend, I got to discover the city. I walked through the Botanical Garden and along South Bank. A beautiful area with beautiful bits of park and even a big stretched out pool in the middle. All this on the side of the river. I enjoyed walking around and found some quiet spots to read (I just got Harry Pottwr and the Cursed Child on my kindle, so I had some reading to do). I also had a look around in the science museum before heading into town and discovering the shopping centre. It was a nice weekend. Lovely and sunny during the day, although a bit cold at night.もっと詳しく
