Australia calling?

Though I am lucky enough to consider myself a rather well-travelled person, I’m yet to visit the great land down under. After graduation, when many friends jetted off on daring adventures in the land of perpetual suntans and shimp-barbies, I took an alternate route and ended up in the bustling streets of London. Although I have never regretted my decision, the thought of someday enjoying a taste of the Aussie lifestyle has always lingered in the back of my mind.

My previous reasons for not taking the plunge were founded in issues concerning price, timing and the fact that it's literally on the opposite side of the world. However, I’ve recently discovered that I wouldn’t have to spend as much as I initially thought, and that despite being a full-time student, I still have about 4 months of free time in the summer to do as I please. 

I think because of my very magical summer of 2015, I was a bit reluctant to plan for new adventures as I would rather just live in my cozy Euro-trip bubble a little while longer. I've however realised that there is of course the chance that the summer of 2016 can be even more magnificent, and with that in mind I'm now very excited to start planning for it! We'll see where I will actually end up going, but to top last years' trip it's going to have to be pretty spectacular, so I better get to it.
