And so more than a year had passed by already... Actually it’s closing up on two years already, however I had started writing this blog some time last year already so in the end just decided to stick to the original idea of 1 year in Australia roundup... Where did the time go? The over 24-hour journey to Australia at the beginning of January 2014 seems like a distant memory now. But then a p... Read Full Entry

I love to travel... and so far I have been lucky enough to visit a few of the incredible parts of this world... So much more to do and see still though... the list seems to have no end... Well... One place at the time... My big Asian adventure of 2013 finished with an unexpected move across the globe... A husband and two kids later I'm still dreaming of long-term travel... Happy travels everyone! :)... full info

What a contrast!
Glad the last half of your stay with filled with wild adventures, and sorry the first half dragged on, though I guess you had lots of time to prepare delicious Polish food. You'd been on Asian money mode, so for sure shocking to pay $30 for pierogis--yikes! I've been in Peru for a couple of years and dread returning to the US for that same reason--sticker shock! Love the wild, exotic animals, all the great parks and festivals. Brisbane sounds great!

What a contrast!
Thanks for your comment Tara :) Yes, lots and lots of time to improve my cooking skills and to grow some fruit and veggies in our garden as well - still amazed that there are no seasons here really and you can grow new produce all year around! The prices here were definitely a shock (for a good few months actually) and coming from Peru to US would surely be similar... Yes, it's all about the outdoor activities in here! Plenty of festivals around and don't think I'll ever get tired of seeing all the exotic animals. Have to say it's surely isn't a bad place to live in :)

Oz through your eyes
I always find it interesting to hear the perspective of those that visit -v- those that stay longer on our shores. It always depends on what one does and attitude as to how one finds finds it. Brisbane comes with extreme variants in weather as does Melbourne. The one constant is the desire to hug koalas. Maybe I should take more visitors to animal huggings than bush bashings in future. Enjoy Oz...it's bigger than you think!

Oz through my eyes
Thanks for your comment Dave! Yes quite extreme weather here for sure! Thought I loved the heat, but it can be a bit overwhelming at times! Still Brisbane is a really lovely city, haven't been to Melbourne just yet, my 'to do Aussie list' is getting longer and longer... and yes! you're right! Australia is way bigger than I ever thought it was... You should definitely consider animal hugging trips, totally recommended ;)

Hi Anna, I loved reading this blog. Moving countries can be a very exciting thing, but I'm glad you also wrote about the possible downsides of it. If you and Grant are ever down in Hobart, let us know :)

hugging koalas
Sure you will find plenty of wild parks in Sydney that will give you this opportunity, be prepared to smell like one afterwards though! ;) looking forward to your blog from Sydney!

Yes totally agree! I loved Sydney also... Very short visit only, but definitely would like to go back and explore it a bit more...
