Where My Heart Is Now

Home is where the heart is. Currently my heart is residing with me in Brisbane, Australia but that is all going to change in about 3 hours when I fly off on a four month backpacking adventure around Europe followed by an indefinate stay in England (hopefully london).

Inspired by my friends blog* I thought this would be a good way to keep everyone back home updated on where I am and what I am doing. Its also going to give me a way of keeping track of my adventures in London so that one day I can look back and go 'wow I can't believe I actually did that!'.

Those of you who know me know that I have a passion for travel. Since my first time overseas when I was seven I have loved exploring the world and finding new things to experience. I love the different cultures, trying new food (although I still dont think I'll ever like olives), different atmospheres, beautiful old buildings, meeting new people, collecting knick nacks from everywhere I go and writing postcards home to missed loved ones.

I was lucky enough to visit Europe for a short time a few years ago and since then have wanted to go back and explore. This is my chance! This adventure is going to change my life... I just know it. This could be everything I have ever wanted and its at my fingertips. I'm not sure if my words are doing any justice to how excited I am. Im practically jumping out of my skin!

So, for now I say goodbye to my home and my friends and jet off to discover the world. Im not sure when I'll next be blogging but hopefully by then I will already have some exciting stories to tell.

* Thanks to sophie for helping me set this up otherwise it would be a boring thing to look at.
