I've been daydreaming about Australia a lot recently. I miss it so much and my <a href="http://byairmailwithlove.blogspot.co.uk/2013/11/i-left-my-heart-in-australia.html" target="_blank" title="">heart is still outback bound</a>. I thought I'd show you the places I have had the most happiest memories. Not only are these places beautiful but I also discovered them with amazing people, which helps. I could write a list of places you just HAVE to see when you go to Australia but, of course, everyone's opinion is different. But I would recommend going here and making them your own happy places. </div>

<strong><u>Broome, WA</u></strong> - it's no secret that I am obsessed with sunsets, but this <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broome,_Western_Australia" target="_blank" title="">Broome</a> sunset is extra special to me. Not only is it beautiful but, whilst watching the sky change colour, this was the moment I knew I had to travel the world. I remember thinking that I wanted to see the sun set in as many different countries as possible to see if they're as beautiful as this. </div>

<strong><u>Coral Bay, WA</u></strong> - I have seen a lot of beaches in Australia but this was the first one to amaze me. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coral_Bay,_Western_Australia" target="_blank" title="">Coral Bay</a> is the smallest town next to the most beautiful beach. It has one small road with a hotel, pub and hostel and that's pretty much it. I spent my days here snorkelling to the reef from the beach and sunbathing on the perfectly white sand. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ningaloo_Reef" target="_blank" title="">The Ningaloo Reef</a> is just as outstanding as the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Barrier_Reef" target="_blank" title="">Great Barrier Reef</a> but unknown as it's smaller. If anything, I preferred the Ningaloo Reef.</div>

<strong><u>Coober Pedy, SA</u></strong> - I spent 7 months living in the outback and it will always have a <a href="http://byairmailwithlove.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/and-i-off-into-clouds-don-know-if-i.html" target="_blank" title="">special place in my heart</a>.

<u style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;">Streaky Bay, SA</u> - I spent a long weekend here with some lovely new friends. It was a weekend of firsts, many highs and <a href="http://byairmailwithlove.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/so-i-sink-in-to-tune-and-i-inhale-fume.html" target="_blank" title="">happy memories</a>. Streaky Bay is a small town, but it's surrounded by lots of beaches and sand dunes. When I think of Streaky Bay, I will always think of the shabby beach hut and dancing in to the night.</div>

<strong><u>Rainbow Beach, QLD</u></strong> - this was one of my first drunken nights in Australia as a backpacker. I had lots of beer, a walk on the beach at sunset and I caught my returning boomerang. The sand is full of colour and there is a <a href="http://www.koalanet.com.au/coloured-sands.html" target="_blank">beautiful Dreamtime Story</a> to go with the town. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 1.3em;">Today is the day of love. I fall in love with places more then people, so it's no surprise that I'm single on Valentine's Day. I may be flying solo, but my day will be no less filled with love then any one else's.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have been to many cities around the world but London, for me, is like no other. I love London with all my heart and I can't wait for the day that I move to my favourite city in the world. For now, I'm limited to day trips here and there and I have written a list of 5 things I want to do in London before the end of the year. </div>
<ol>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><strong><u>Ice Bar</u></strong> - I have wanted to go to the <a href="http://www.belowzerolondon.com/" target="_blank" title="">Ice Bar</a> for as long as I can remember, but have never got round to it. This year, I will hopefully be celebrating my 24th birthday here and I can't wait. </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><strong><u>Brick Lane</u></strong> - I am forever on Brick Lane eating in Indian restaurants. Curry is my favourite food, so it's the best place for me. This year, I want to make the time to go shopping on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brick_Lane" target="_blank" title="">Brick Lane</a>. I have been once, a good few years ago now, and absolutely loved it. I hope to go back and buy lots of vintage and second hand pieces for my wardrobe. </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><strong><u>Buckingham Palace</u></strong> - I think the royal family are awesome and, since London 2012, my love has just continued to grow for them. As I love the Queen so much, it only seems right that I have a <a href="http://www.royalcollection.org.uk/visit/the-state-rooms-buckingham-palace" target="_blank" title="">nose around her house</a>. </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><strong><u>Theatre</u></strong> - I am a huge fan of musicals and I have seen most of the shows in the <a href="http://www.londontheatre.co.uk/londontheatre/whatson/musicals.htm" target="_blank" title="">West End</a>. My favourites are <a href="http://www.londontheatre.co.uk/cgi-bin/search.cgi?mytemplate=tp2&method=all&10000001=10000006" target="_blank" title="">The Lion King</a>, <a href="http://www.londontheatre.co.uk/cgi-bin/search.cgi?mytemplate=tp2&method=all&10000001=10000007" target="_blank" title="">We Will Rock You</a> and <a href="http://www.thewomaninblack.com/" target="_blank" title="">The Woman in Black</a>, although they're all too different to compare. A night spent at the theatre is my kind of evening. </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><strong><u>Weekender</u></strong> - I love going out for a good meal and a few pints in London, but my nights are usually caught short with me rushing to get the last train back to Essex. I want to stay in London for a weekend so I can enjoy a good night out or two. </li>

As I'm single, I decided to buy myself a Valentine's Day present because, well, I love me. I decided to buy myself my first matching underwear set. Personally, I think nude underwear isn't the prettiest and white underwear is too bright under light clothes, so I went for light pink. <a href="http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Navigate?ps=default&catalogId=10001&lid=%2F%2Fproductsuniverse%2Fen_GB%2Fproduct_online%3DY%2Finsearch%3D1%2Fcategories%3C%7Bproductsuniverse_153156%7D%2Fbrand_description%3E%7Bb20by20ted20baker%7D&langId=-1&storeId=10701&pn=2" target="_blank" title="">The Ted Baker selection </a>at Debenhams is beautiful. It's full of floral lace, bows and pretty gold charms. The Ted Baker range starts from a 32A and goes up to 38DD and this same set also comes in <a href="http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10701_10001_161010351382_-1" target="_blank" title="">cream</a> and <a href="http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10701_10001_161010351360_-1" target="_blank" title="">black</a>. I'm sure I'll be investing in many more matching sets in the future and not just for Valentine's Day. I'll be sure to wear this pretty pink set tomorrow. </div>

<span style="line-height: 1.3em;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 1.3em;">I love travelling. There I said it. But just like anything, there are parts of backpacking which I really don't like. Maybe even hate, and here they are. </span></div>
<ol>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="line-height: 1.3em;"><strong><u>Hostels</u></strong> - thankfully, I didn't spent a lot of time in hostels whilst travelling. Now don't get me wrong, hostels can be great. They're a brilliant way to meet new people, they're cheap and they can help you plan your trip. But there is always someone who turns the light on in the middle of the night, someone who has to be up early and someone who comes back blind drunk. When you're travelling for a long time, sometimes you just want a good nights sleep and a dorm room isn't always the way to go. I wrote a <a href="http://byairmailwithlove.blogspot.co.uk/2013/08/travel-tips-staying-in-hostels.html" target="_blank" title="">post here</a> with tips which may make your <a href="http://byairmailwithlove.blogspot.co.uk/2013/08/travel-tips-staying-in-hostels.html" target="_blank" title="">stay in hostels</a> more comfortable.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="line-height: 1.3em;"><strong><u>Same Old Story</u></strong> - you meet new people every day and you will always be asked the same 5 questions: "Where are you from? Where are you going? Where have you been? How long are you travelling for? How long are you here?" After a little while, it can get a bit tiring so try and mix it up a bit.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="line-height: 1.3em;"><strong><u>Party Party Party</u></strong> - when you're travelling, there's always a reason to go out. It'll be someone's first or last night somewhere, someone going home or it's ladies night. At the beginning it's great fun, but after a little while your liver will start to hate you and you'll feel rough. Remember, there's plenty more things to do then sitting in bars.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="line-height: 1.3em;"><strong><u>The 5 Minute Friend</u></strong> - when you meet someone new, you don't know how long you'll be with them for. You could travel with them for weeks, spend a few days in the same place or have a quick 5 minute encounter. You meet some lovely people on the road and you can have the most amazing time with them, and maybe that's all it's meant to be. But it's a nice feeling to really get to know someone and spend more then 5 minutes with them.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="line-height: 1.3em;"><strong><u>Goodbyes</u></strong> - each goodbye is different. Some you expect, some you say in the hope to see them again and some are terribly sad. I have said countless goodbyes in my life, all of which I have not enjoyed. These days it is much easier to stay in touch with people, with the odd tweet, facebook message or email, but eventually it'll slowly stop despite your best intentions. When you travel long enough, you have people you miss all over the world and it can feel like your heart is broken in to different pieces. You can have life changing moments with people and it's hard when you realise you may not see that person again. I <em>hate</em> saying goodbye.</span></li>
</ol>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Don't get me wrong, I'd put up with all these things if it meant I could be on the road again but, for now, I am enjoying being at home and not having to say goodbye. </div>

I love this outfit. It's simple and comfy with a little bit of colour, which you don't come across much of these days in my wardrobe. I forever live in black, grey, khaki and burgandy but, in all honesty, I'm excited to add a bit of colour as the weather heats up. </div>

Now to the pictures. I have decided that I will never be good at striking a pose and my dad (love him!!) will never be the best at taking photos, so fuck it. From now on, I hope you enjoy seeing pictures which look more like outtakes and have me giggling like a fool.</div>

As the sun was actually shining today, I thought I'd dig out my denim jacket, although I'm not entirely sure it was warm enough. I teamed it with my oversized cream jumper for some extra warmth, my new boots and my staple beanie. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I bought my new boots the other week and have been in love with them ever since. Even though they're quite high, the platform helps to keep my feet comfy. Finally, a pair of heels I can actually walk in. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 1.3em;">Listening to: </span><a href="http://youtu.be/IcrbM1l_BoI" style="line-height: 1.3em;" target="_blank" title="">Wake Me Up by Avicii</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I've been back in England for exactly 5 weeks, <span style="line-height: 1.3em;">and my 13 month adventure seems like a distant memory. Every now and then, I enjoy reliving the year gone by and I have written a list of 50 things I learnt whilst travelling. </span></div>
<ol>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="line-height: 1.3em;">Strangers really are friends you haven't met yet.</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 1.3em;">It all starts with a simple "hello", don't be scared to make the first move.</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 1.3em;">Remember that time you were by yourself when people take the time to talk to you.</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 1.3em;">You will get homesick and want to go home. Don't leave, you will regret it.</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 1.3em;">Accept people for who they are. Everybody sins differently.</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 1.3em;">Your friends may not like who you do, but don't let that stop you building new friendships.</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 1.3em;">At some point you will feel like you've hit rock bottom. Keep going, it'll get better.</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 1.3em;">Strangers can be extremely generous. Be generous to strangers.</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 1.3em;">You have a lot of time to think. Embrace it, you can learn a lot about yourself.</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 1.3em;">Travel light.</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 1.3em;">Remember; if you don't like something, you can leave.</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 1.3em;">You have insurance for a reason. Don't put off something which involves your health.</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 1.3em;">Don't work too hard. Remember, you are on a working HOLIDAY visa.</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 1.3em;">Hair straighteners are also great at ironing clothes.</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 1.3em;">Every bad situation has a silver lining.</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 1.3em;">Think outside the box. A change of plan can lead to more exciting things.</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 1.3em;">Living by yourself can be both the best and worst thing.</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 1.3em;">When you travel long enough, you'll have people you miss all over the world.</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 1.3em;">You may make the same mistake more then once, just make sure you learn from it. </span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 1.3em;">Consider renting, it could be cheaper then hostels.</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 1.3em;">Don't mistake a lesson for love.</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 1.3em;">You may get to the point where you question everything about your life. It may not be easy.</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 1.3em;">Going home can be both exciting and terrifying.</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 1.3em;">People will either love or hate your honesty, but speak the trust anyway.</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 1.3em;">Rumours in a small town spread like wild fire.</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 1.3em;">If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn't be in it.</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 1.3em;">You can leave a country feeling more lost then when you arrived.</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 1.3em;">A fresh coat of nail varnish can do wonders.</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 1.3em;">"Normal" people can have the most interesting stories to tell.</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 1.3em;">You'll realise that the world is a small place.</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 1.3em;">New experiences will give you new confidence.</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 1.3em;">When you're travelling, you are what you are, right there and then. People don't have your past to hold against you. Make the most of it.</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 1.3em;">Drugs make you stupid.</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 1.3em;">Over prepare, then go with the flow.</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 1.3em;">Sometimes, leaving someone behind can make your relationship stronger.</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 1.3em;">Working with a hangover is better then missing out on making new memories.</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 1.3em;">Travelling can take away the feeling of loneliness.</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 1.3em;">Money can stretch as far as you need it to.</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 1.3em;">You'll learn who your true friends are.</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 1.3em;">Travelling by yourself is the best thing you can ever do.</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 1.3em;">Remember to keep in touch with old friends whilst making new ones.</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 1.3em;">Anywhere can feel like home, just let it.</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 1.3em;">Don't let your fears hold you back.</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 1.3em;">You'll learn to appreciate the small things in life.</span></li>
<li>You may realise the things you missed, aren't actually that important.</li>
<li>Travel is not something you'll regret.</li>
<li>Moving from place to place can be exhausting. </li>
<li><span style="line-height: 1.3em;">It's hard when you realise you'll never have the exact same experiences, ever again.</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 1.3em;">That moment you have to say goodbye to someone you care about can be most unpleasant. </span></li>
<li>You'll notice all the small things your parents do for you and how you took them for granted for so long. You'll appreciate them massively and love them even more. </li>
</ol>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 1.3em;">Everyone has different experiences, so different lessons will be learnt. But, there is one thing that all backpackers have in common: one trip is not enough.</span></div>

Last week, I <a href="http://byairmailwithlove.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/but-i-90s-bitch.html" target="_blank">mentioned</a> that I was getting my hair cut. As you can see, it wasn't anything too dramatic. I had 3 inches off the length and a side fringe cut in. Although it's only been a short amount of time, I have decided to grow my fringe out already. I like my hair to be effortless and my fringe is just too much effort. </div>

Since coming home, I have decreased the contents of my wardrobe by about half. I want to invest in clothes that I love, that can be worn in all seasons and for years to come. The outfit I wore today made the cut.</div>

Today my dad had a rare day off work and just like always, we ended up watching <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006nb9z" target="_blank" title="">Bargain Hunt</a> together. Today was a little different as we decided to go and look for our own antiques at <a href="http://www.battlesbridge.com/" target="_blank" title="">Battlesbridge Antique Centre</a>. </div>

Battlesbridge is a short drive away, yet I haven't been there for years. As it's Friday, there wasn't many places open but it was lovely to wander around to look for old treasures. </div>

At the moment I am in the process of decluttering and, eventually, redecorating my room. As I spend so much time in it at the moment (job hunt... kill me), I am trying to make it as comfortable as possible. I am on the hunt for an old suitcase to store my clothes in and I saw plenty at Battlesbridge. I can't wait to go and buy one. </div>

In the last few years I have been lucky enough to meet lots of bloggers. Not only have I met people that I wouldn't usually meet, but I have made amazing life long friends through blogger meets. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Back in 2011, when I blogged over at <a href="http://the-daisychain.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">The Daisy Chain</a>, I decided to organise my own blogger meet in London. I was inspired by other bloggers who I'd seen organise meets in different parts of the UK. In 2011, <a href="http://the-daisychain.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/Blogger%20Meet" target="_blank">#ldnbloggermeet</a> was born. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
In 13 months I was lucky enough to organise 4 bloggers meets, all based in Central London. Now I am back in England after travelling for 13 months, I have decided it's time to bring <a href="http://the-daisychain.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/Blogger%20Meet" target="_blank">#ldnbloggermeet</a> back. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I have not yet made any plans. The date and location is still unknown but I am looking for numbers. If you are interested in attending a blogger meet, based in London in the next few months, please leave a comment with your blog and twitter name below, so I can contact you all when plans have been made.<span style="line-height: 1.3em;"> I am asking for a comment because it will be much easier then looking through old tweets. I hope you understand. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

Whilst travelling, I lived in shorts, t-shirts and leggings. It's safe to say, I was excited to get back to England and wear something that didn't resemble the basics section of a shop. I was, however, surprised to see that fluffy jumpers were now a thing. I didn't get it! That was until I <em>felt</em> a fluffy jumper. When I wear mine, I feel like I'm wrapped up in bed being hugged.</div>

I would just like to draw your attention to my head. This is the longest my hair has <em>ever </em>been and this evening, I am getting it cut. It won't be anything too dramatic. Maybe a few inches off and a cheeky fringe cut in. I love my hair this length and the only reason I'm cutting it is so my future self can have even better hair. My hair is all different lengths at the moment and so I'm sacrificing a few inches in the hope my hair grows at the same length.</div>

</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="text-align: justify; clear: both;"><span style="line-height: 1.3em;">What a year this has been. I have spent only 14 days in England out of 365, I have met people from all over the world and made some lovely life long friends. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="text-align: justify; clear: both;"><span style="line-height: 1.3em;"><br>
</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="text-align: justify; clear: both;">The past year I've had many highs and lows. I've never been so unwell or poor as I was this year. But then I've never had as much fun as I have this year. I've done things I never thought I'd do and lived my life in a crazy blur. I can safely say that moving away from home was the best decision I have made to date. </div>

I caught up with old friends and saw amazing sunsets. I tried new things and opened my heart to new people. No regrets.</div>
<div class="separator" style="text-align: justify; clear: both;"> </div>
<div class="separator" style="text-align: justify; clear: both;">Thailand was out of this world, the very best holiday I have ever had. I met brilliant people, only a few days in, and spent time stroking tigers, riding elephants and taking the longest coach rides with them. I truly felt happy. </div>
<div class="separator" style="text-align: justify; clear: both;"> </div>
<div class="separator" style="text-align: justify; clear: both;">To top off my whole travel experience, <a href="http://byairmailwithlove.blogspot.co.uk/2013/12/a-magical-christmas.html" target="_blank" title="">I ended up surprising my family on Christmas Eve</a>. I told them I was spending Christmas in New Zealand but travelled back home at the perfect time of year to be reunited with my friends and family.</div>
<div class="separator" style="text-align: justify; clear: both;"> </div>
<div class="separator" style="text-align: justify; clear: both;">2013 has been incredible but here's to 2014. <span style="line-height: 1.3em;">A year for taking risks, wearing my heart on my sleeve and more adventure. Wishing you a happy and healthy year ahead, love always.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="text-align: justify; clear: both;">I think that Christmas is magical and a great time of year to show your loved ones just how much they mean to you. I also think that Christmas is a time that's best spent with your family.</div>
<div class="separator" style="text-align: justify; clear: both;"> </div>
<div class="separator" style="text-align: justify; clear: both;">I spent Christmas 2012 in Perth with my lovely friend Becky. We spent Christmas Day on the beach in a 42 degree heat and had a BBQ for dinner. Although it was a great experience, it wasn't the same without my mum, dad and brothers. </div>
<div class="separator" style="text-align: justify; clear: both;"> </div>
<div class="separator" style="text-align: justify; clear: both;">At the beginning of 2013, I made a decision. It would take a lot of dedication and many lies, but I knew it would be worth it. I spent all year telling my parents that I would be spending Christmas 2013 in New Zealand with my friend Caitlin. </div>
<div class="separator" style="text-align: justify; clear: both;"> </div>
<div class="separator" style="text-align: justify; clear: both;">Throughout the year , my story developed. I googled what the weather would be like, any traditions that they have and what is eaten for Christmas dinner. I was telling my parents lie upon lie and, sometimes, it was hard to keep track of them all. </div>
<div class="separator" style="text-align: justify; clear: both;"> </div>
<div class="separator" style="text-align: justify; clear: both;">I finished my year in Australia and month in Thailand and, instead of flying to New Zealand, I caught a flight to London. I arrived on the 17th December and stayed in Covent Garden for a week. I decided to arrive a week early so I had some time to get over jet lag, do some Christmas shopping and avoid any problems there may be with flights. </div>
<div class="separator" style="text-align: justify; clear: both;"> </div>
<div class="separator" style="text-align: justify; clear: both;">On Christmas Eve, I surprised my family. </div>
<div class="separator" style="text-align: justify; clear: both;"> </div>
<div class="separator" style="text-align: justify; clear: both;">My family were shocked, confused and excited. I hadn't seen them for one year, one month and one week and it was a brilliant way to end my travels. </div>
<div class="separator" style="text-align: justify; clear: both;"> </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 1.3em;">After seeing the inside of too many bars in Bangkok, I decided to go on the hunt for some temples. There are lots of different temples to look at, but I decided to take a boat to see The Reclining Bubbha. The grounds were peaceful and the temples were beautiful, a lovely day in the city.</span></div>

Here are a few pictures from my first night in Thailand. I arrived in Bangkok, met some new friends at my hostel and had a great night out on the famous Khaosan Road. Many buckets and shots were consumed, I ate a grasshopper and ended up on a ped with two other people to find my way back to my hostel. A great introduction to my 4 week holiday in Thailand. </div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 1.3em;">Today's the day that I leave Australia and I am a bag of mixed emotions. I have such happy memories here and I am going to be leaving some amazing people behind. I fell just as I did when I left my friends and family at home only this time, with the people I have met here, I don't know how long it will be before I see them again.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have had many highs and lows in Australia, but when I look back and think of the year I have just experienced, it is the high moments which stick out and bring a smile to my face and a tear to my eye. I do, however, think of the low points fondly because I can see how I overcome and learnt from them.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's true what they say, travelling does change you. I am a much stronger and more confident person then when I arrived a year ago and I have experienced things I never even dreamed of doing. I have had my eyes opened to how different people live and been able to experience it for myself. I have learnt about different peoples backgrounds and understood how it has shaped them to the person they are today. But, most of all, I have learnt a lot about myself. I have seen both my strengths and weaknesses and I can now work on being a better person then I am today. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
They also say that travelling helps you find yourself and at this moment in time I feel more lost then when I first arrived to Australia. Although I've learnt a lot, I still don't completely know who I am, where I'm going in life or even what I'm doing next year. I always planned on travelling for a year, then settling back in England for a while and maybe look for a 'proper' job. But now I want to continue meeting new people and seeing new places, not matter how hard it is to say goodbye. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I can't put in to words exactly what I'm feeling, but I know that living and working in Australia is the best decision I've made to date. I say this so much but if you're thinking of travelling, just do it. The hardest step to make is the first one out your door, but you'll be so pleased you did. I've not yet met one person who has regretted moving away from home for a while to discover something new. There's a whole world out there waiting for you. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Soon, I'll be on my way to the airport to catch a flight to Thailand where I will be spending the next 4 weeks. I've never been before but heard such great things. I haven't done much research at all, so if you have any suggestions on what to do, where to go or where to stay it would be a great help. I don't think I'll be able to blog whilst I'm away, but I will be back in full force in a few weeks with some stories to tell. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Today's the day I left my heart in Australia. </div>

<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><em>Twitter has helped me connect to other bloggers on their own journey. I have been reading <a href="http://www.bowdreamnation.com/" target="_blank" title="">Hannah's</a> blogs for a while now so was pleased when she said she'd like to share some of her own tips with you. So, if you're heading off on a big adventure or a quick weekend get away, here are Hannah's <a href="http://byairmailwithlove.blogspot.com.au/search/label/Travel%20Tips" target="_blank" title="">Travel Tips</a> to help you pack what you really need. </em></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">I've been fortunate enough to have spent a lot of time travelling the world, whether it was backpacking around SE Asia, inter railing over Europe or getting away for a weekend city break. Travelling is fun no matter where you go but sometimes it can be a little stressful, especially when it comes to packing. Over the years I've picked up a lots of little tips on how to get the best out of your luggage so I'm here to share them with you today.</span></div>
<ol>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.3em;"><u><strong>Give yourself time to pack</strong></u> - </span><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); line-height: 1.3em;">One of the biggest mistakes I've made in the past is leaving packing to the last minute. This is fine when you're going away for the weekend but if you're headed somewhere for a few months you really do need to give yourself time to think about what you need to take. Before a big trip I start packing a week or 2 in advance, I'll start by just throwing things I think I'll need into my bag but as leaving day looms closers it's best to spend one full evening sorting out your clothes as those are the items that take up the most room.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-weight: bold; line-height: 1.3em; text-decoration: underline;"><u style="font-weight: bold;">Edit, edit, edit and then edit some more</u> - </span><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); line-height: 1.3em;">The first time you pack you will inevitably pack way too much stuff which is why it's important to give yourself time to edit. As much as we'd all like to look fabulous when trekking through a jungle this really isn't the time to be showing off your finest garments so put back the 10 dresses you had packed and bring along 2 that you can wear all day, every day instead. I know it's hard but you have to be brutal. When I was in SE Asia for 3 month I took 1 pair of trousers and leggings, 2 dresses, 2 pairs of shorts, a few t shirts, 1 jumper, a waterproof jacket, 1 set of trainers and sandals, minimal underwear, a few accessories, 1 hand bag, a small wash bag / first aid kit and a travel towel. This doesn't sound like a lot but most hostels provide washing facilities which are usually free to use yourself or cost very little if you get someone else to wash your clothes.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-weight: bold; line-height: 1.3em; text-decoration: underline;"><u style="font-weight: bold;">Don't over pack, you will need the extra space</u> - </span><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); line-height: 1.3em;">One of the best things about travelling are the cheap markets and you will no doubt want to buy yourself souvenirs and maybe a few gifts for friends and family as well. Therefore it's really important to have space in your rucksack so you have somewhere to store the stuff you buy. You can always post stuff home but trust me this is more hassle than it's worth so best to leave a trip to the post office as a last resort. When I was in Thailand I bought an enormous bed quilt. Fortunately I just had enough space in my ruck sack (due to my minimal packing) as it would have cost a fortune to send home. My ruck sack was completely full for the rest of the trip but I knew I wouldn't buy anything big so it was fine.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-weight: bold; line-height: 1.3em; text-decoration: underline;"><u style="font-weight: bold;">Separate your stuff into little bags</u> - </span><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); line-height: 1.3em;">I kept my clothes separated into different bags inside my ruck sack. 1 bag for underwear, 1 bag for t shirts and shorts, 1 bag for dresses, 1 bag for chargers/electronics etc. This made packing and unpacking my rucksack really easy as I only had to worry about a few small bags rather than lots of individual clothes. I kept the small bag with my pjs and wash stuff at the top as it was something I had to reach for everyday. Little things like this don't sound like a big deal but they really do make the whole packing process easier and faster. If you arrive at a hostel late one night the last thing you want to do is spend 20mins rooting through your bag looking for a toothbrush!</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-weight: bold; line-height: 1.3em; text-decoration: underline;"><u style="font-weight: bold;">Embrace second hand book shops</u> - </span><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); line-height: 1.3em;">This won't apply to everyone, especially e-book users but I love reading as many books as possible when I'm travelling however they take up an awful lot of space. To stop myself getting loaded down with paper I would buy and sell my books in second hand books shops. Not only are these places cheap but they're fun to spend a bit of time in and you can often pick up great travel advice from the people who work there. In SE Asia there are second hand book shops everywhere and the general quality and choice is excellent. After a visit to a few you will start to see a trend in what books they sell. Almost every shop I went into had copies of The Beach, Life of Pi and The Alchemist which are all great travelling reads.</span></li>
</ol>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 1.3em;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); line-height: 1.3em;">I hope these packing tips have come in useful but remember there's a lot more important things to worry about when you're travelling. Enjoy yourself and remember that if you're carrying a ruck sack for 3 months it makes sense to keep it as light as possible!</span></span></div>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: justify; line-height: 1.3em;">It's safe to say that this is the weirdest house I have ever lived in. Firstly, I should explain a bit about Coober Pedy...</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Coober Pedy only exists because opal was found here in 1915. If opal was not found, it is unlikely that Coober Pedy would be lived in today. The temperature can reach 52 degrees in summer and -3 degrees in winter. There can be sand storms and amazing thunder and lightening storms. It's not a place you would usually choose to live.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Opal is found by digging holes in to the ground and tunnelling along opal seams. In 1915, miners would live in their mines because they discovered that no matter what the temperature was outside, it will constantly be 23 degrees underground. Once this was discovered, people continued to live underground to this day. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I called my underground home, my cave and I feel like you should listen to <a href="http://youtu.be/fNy8llTLvuA" target="_blank" title="">The Cave by Mumford and Sons</a> whilst you read this post. As you can see from the top picture, my house was built in to a hill and did not go in to the ground like many people would expect. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">My cave was once backpacker accommodation, which is why it is full of bunk beds. I spent most of my time living here alone but I did spend some time living with some lovely friends. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">My cave was certainly an experience and I'll miss it so much.</p>Emma Haroldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07696458540603010860noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-722585014409478159.post-71190431965788317502013-10-24T08:09:00.001+01:002014-01-23T01:52:18.801+00:00AND I'M OFF INTO THE CLOUDS, DON'T KNOW IF I WILL FIND MY WAY BACK DOWN<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 1.3em;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 1.3em;">I've been back in Coober Pedy for a good few months now. I didn't have the <a href="http://byairmailwithlove.blogspot.com.au/2013/07/i-can-feel-love-can-you-feel-it-too.html" target="_blank" title="">best luck here last time</a>, but things have got so much better. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Coober Pedy is a weird little town. When you first arrive you'll notice all the red dust, the flies and the fact a lot of people live underground. A lot of tourists pass through town on their way to Uluru, Alice Springs or Adelaide and this is all they see.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As I have been here a while now, I have seen past the towns little qwerks and it really feels like home. To me, Coober Pedy is a place where strangers will give me a lift when I'm walking in the rain or the 40 degree heat. Where the local supermarket will let me take my shopping home and pay for it the next day when I didn't have enough money on my card. Where the nurse who gave me a hepatitis jab invited me to play golf with her family after finding out its on my list of things to do before I leave. And where I have <span style="line-height: 1.3em;">made great friendships with a group of people who have been friends for years. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
People often ask me why I have stayed here for so long and it's hard to explain to people who are only here for a day or two. It's a town that you either love or hate and I have fallen for it hard. I only have a few weeks left here now before I head off to Thailand for 4 weeks and I'm incredibly sad to be leaving. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My year is Australia will be up on the 19th November and I can't believe how quickly it has gone. It really has been the most incredible experience and I can't wait to come back. To any one who is thinking of going travelling, but has doubts, I urge you to take the leap. It will be the best thing you ever do.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you ever find yourself in Australia, I would definitely recommend coming to Coober Pedy. As they say 'don't judge a book by its cover'. Get to know they place, stay here for a while and speak to the locals. Coober Pedy's reputation is worse then it actually is. I think you'll enjoy it. <span style="line-height: 1.3em;"> </span></div>

<em>Since starting my blog, I have tried to combine my love of writing and travel. I finally decided to write <a href="http://byairmailwithlove.blogspot.com.au/search/label/Travel%20Tips" target="_blank" title="">Travel Tips</a> for you adventurers out there and share with you what I have learnt along the way. </em></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<em>Through Twitter, I have met many more bloggers who are on a journey of their own and so I asked if they would want to share their own tips with you. First up is the lovely <a href="http://rosedl.blogspot.ie/" target="_blank" title="">Rose</a> who, in under a month, will be travelling to New Zealand to be with her boyfriend Ed. Here are Rose's Travel Tips for anyone thinking of moving to New Zealand.</em></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<ol style="clear: both; list-style: decimal; margin: 0px 0px 20px; overflow: hidden; padding: 0px 0px 0px 50px;">
<li style="clear: both; margin: 0px; overflow: visible; padding: 2px 0px 6px 5px; text-align: justify;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.3em;"><u style="font-weight: bold;">Research E V E R Y T H I N G</u> <span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-weight: bold; line-height: 1.3em;">-</span><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.3em;"> <span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); line-height: 1.3em;">Moving to New Zealand is a big, big step and it's not something I thought about lightly. I researched almost everything I could before I started on the process, It may be a bit different to me as I am going there knowing someone and being able to live with someone but it's basically the same start. I'd say the best way to start researching and working out if moving to New Zealand is the right thing for you is to read other peoples stories. Blogs are a great way to start. Reading Emma's blog actually made me really think about the whole situation and the things that could go wrong; it was a really good insight to the whole moving thing. So I'd say that is a good way to start as it's not all happy times while travelling, things can go wrong.</span><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); line-height: 1.3em;"> </span></span></span></li>
<li style="clear: both; margin: 0px; overflow: visible; padding: 2px 0px 6px 5px; text-align: justify;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.3em;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.3em;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.3em;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.3em;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.3em;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.3em;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.3em;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.3em;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-weight: bold; line-height: 1.3em;"><u style="font-weight: bold;">NZ Ready Account</u> - </span><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); line-height: 1.3em;">Another tip is to set up a NZ ready account. I'd never heard of this until I started researching visas and jobs out in New Zealand but it's really helped. First off it asks you some basic questions on what you're planning to do etc and then calculates everything you need to do before you leave for New Zealand. It puts it into really helpful bullet points as well which can be ticked off when you're done (which is very satisfying haha). It also put into groups for you so it starts with '6 months before leaving', '3 months before leaving' and so on, very handy if you're an OCD person like me and wants to do everything and anything to help me get ready AND in order.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></li>
<li style="clear: both; margin: 0px; overflow: visible; padding: 2px 0px 6px 5px; text-align: justify;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.3em;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.3em;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.3em;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.3em;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.3em;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.3em;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.3em;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.3em;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.3em;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.3em;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.3em;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-weight: bold; line-height: 1.3em;"><u style="font-weight: bold;"><strong>Be Prepared with Packing</strong></u> - <span style="font-weight: normal;">I </span></span><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); line-height: 1.3em;">started sorting packing out around 2 months before hand, taking pictures of outfits I liked so I could remember what things to pack and sort out my wardrobe. Throwing away anything that I didn't need so I don't leave my room in a mess for my parents haha. It may be different to other people as I am leaving for 2 years but even if you are just travelling to New Zealand for a couple of months packing will probably be on of the hardest parts. I am dreading it but at the moment I am thinking truthfully what will I need over there. Be sensible. Do you really need that many shoes? Probably not. I keep trying to remind myself that you CAN buy stuff out there it's not like the stuff I pack will be it for 2 years. So I'd say start early. Maybe not the actual packing but definitely start organising and thinking thoroughly what kind of things you need and write lists. Lists are a god send. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></li>
<li style="clear: both; margin: 0px; overflow: visible; padding: 2px 0px 6px 5px; text-align: justify;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.3em;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.3em;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.3em;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.3em;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.3em;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.3em;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.3em;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.3em;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.3em;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.3em;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.3em;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-weight: bold; line-height: 1.3em;"><strong style="font-weight: bold;"><u>Remember and Consider Travel Insurance</u></strong> - <span style="font-weight: normal;">I </span></span><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); line-height: 1.3em;">am putting this one in here because right this second I am have a little freak out about travel insurance. I am saving literally every penny and every penny is needed for me to get £2100 which is the amount I have to have to be allowed into New Zealand. Now that's fine I will get that BUT I didn't take into consideration travel insurance and its very hard to find one that is under £100. £100 of money that I really need in my bank, so all I'm going to say is if you're saving money as desperately as me try and think about travel insurance and maybe you wont be as stressed as me. At the moment it's looking like Travel Supermarket is my best bet with 12 month cover for £102. Like all my other tips I'd say research as much as possible as thats the best way your going to find the good deals.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></li>

All I am going to say is treasure every moment you have. I am taking pictures of everything and anything to remind me of home and my family as I know when I get to New Zealand I will be stupidly home sick. </span><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); line-height: 1.3em;">I am trying to make the most of my hometown before I leave and doing things I haven't done before. </span><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); line-height: 1.3em;">So yes, last tip is treasure the last month/weeks you have left.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></li>

At the weekend, me and some friends travelled from <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coober_Pedy" target="_blank" title="">Coober Pedy</a> to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baird_Bay,_South_Australia" target="_blank" title="">Bairds Bay</a>. My friends have a beach house there and as it was a long weekend in Australia, it seemed rude not to. It took a massive 12 hours to drive there, with lots of stops along the way. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On one of the many stops, I pulled out my camera and took some snaps in front of a salt lake, and here they are. </div>

When you're travelling, you wear the same clothes every week. A little while ago I got so fed up with my clothes, I made an Asos and Topshop order and got it delivered to Australia.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have always wanted a Boy London tee, so I splashed out. I don't usually spend so much on t-shirts but I thought <em>why the hell not. </em></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Just after these pictures were taken, I ended up jumping off the jetty in to the sea with my t-shirt still on. My friend gave me a top to wear whilst mine dried. I ended up keeping it on for the rest of the day and she wore mine, once it had dried. We both decided that our t-shirts actually looked better on each other, so we decided to swap. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This day turned out to be one of the happiest days of my life; so full of laughter and the best memories. Now, my new tee won't only remind me of my lovely new friend, but one of the best days of my life.</div>
