So as I sit here, in the same airport I sat in almost three years ago, drinking the same wine, contemplating life, waiting for a plane to take me to my next destination, I can’t help but feel like I’ve come full circle. Not full circle in the sense that the journey has ended and … More Australia, You’ve Been Everything.
And as I prepare to leave a country I love, direction once again confounds me. I’ve taken more paths and chosen more roads yet the world is still spinning around me. Conflicting emotions about how to ‘travel’ are repeatedly rearing their heads; sometimes I feel the coil of life unravel, my heart aching beneath my … More The World Will Still Spin At My Feet
Will things be any better the second time around? Is it possible for a second experience to live up to the high expectations you set, to surpass those of the first? Was it, after all, only ever supposed to be experienced once? These are the questions I find myself trying to answer while six months … More Is The Grass Really Greener?
In an effort to kickstart my blog after a lengthy hiatus, I’ve settled on the subject of road trips, and one epic drive in particular: from Perth to Exmouth and back in six little days. Following our departure from Marvel Loch, with a triste and heavy-hearted goodbye, Trine and I arrived in Perth and went … More From Perth to Exmouth; toilet breaks not included
It’s the beginning of week seven here in Marvel Loch and although I’m excited slash nervous slash a tad apprehensive about heading to Melbourne in a few weeks, believe it or not I’ll also be quite sad to leave this little place I’ve come to call home. The next two weeks are sure to pass … More Day 42 In Marvel Loch: And Now The End Is Near
Friday came and went…blah blah…a tedious morning followed by a pretty boring afternoon…although I did manage to get slightly sunburnt on my face so every cloud and all that. But Saturday…well…Saturday was just spectacular. Having never fired a gun, rode a dirt bike through crop fields and over a motorcross track, having never driven a … More It’s Day Nineteen and I Lost Four Virginities!
It’s the end of my first week in Marvel Loch (The Town Midas Touched) and any pre-conceived doubt I had about coming here has been well and truly eradicated. In fact, I’ve quite enjoyed being out in the country away from the rat-race, cut off from society; and despite my tendencies to piss and moan … More Week One in Marvel Loch – Content and pleasantly surprised
So today I had to get up early. And by early I don’t mean like 5:30am, haha, oh no, I of course mean 7:30am (which is early enough). The reason, you may ask, as to why I needed to rise at such an ungodly hour when I only started work at 5pm? Well well well, … More Day Four in my new favourite place – some light reflection in Mining Land…
In coming to Western Australia during the height of winter, I thought I’d made the ultimate choice; I thought I would’ve hit the jackpot in regards to the weather, as everyone knows Perth and a lot of WA are renowned for being hot all the time, right? Erm…WRONG! To say I have been unpleasantly surprised … More It’s Cold: Day Three in Marvel Loch
You know when the weather during the Great British Summertime decides to do what it usually does and blow an almighty gale and insist on pissing down with incessant rain to the point where you fear your chimney pots might blow off and your fence panels will end up in next doors garden? Yeah well … More Day Two in Marvel Loch: a daytrip to The Big Smoke and a hell of a lot of rain
