My blogs have been very few and far between of late; mainly due to the fact that I haven’t really done or experienced anything of note. My time in Orange has basically been spent as follows: Gym, Work, Sleep, Repeat. Boring huh? It appears that my ability to settle into a place and go about my … More That Time We Drove To Adelaide.
Christmas is well and truly over. New Year celebrations have been and gone and it’s now the beginning of February; 2015 is in full flow, and surprisingly (or maybe not) I find myself in a place called Orange in central NSW. The decision to come to Orange was not one I made on a whim. … More Life In Technicolour…Or Just Orange.
…or, just pay me to stay in your home and eat your food… When I first accepted the job as an Au Pair in Ormiston, just south of Brisbane, my host family told me that the childcare element would be pretty limited; I’d have to look after the kids when their shifts crossed over, occasionally … More The Nanny Diaries…
My first blog of 2015, my first after a two week hiatus and it should be filled with tales of fun and laughter, it should be bursting with forward thinking ideas and be packed with positive possibilities. I should be sat here writing how much I’m looking forward to what the New Year will bring, … More New Year, Same Fears.
I’ve not blogged in a while and quite frankly, I don’t really know where to begin. I suppose my absence can be put down to a number of things: I haven’t had much to blog about, the only thing worth blogging about was keeping me busy, and I’ve kind of suffered a few setbacks over … More Girl, Interrupted
A week after leaving the delights of hostel life in Brisbane (oh the sarcasm), I’ve found myself looking back, contemplating and yearning for that crowded, smelly, noisy, badly air-conditioned, backpacker platform again (sorry, I can’t help it, it’s the lowest form of wit; sue me). In all seriousness though, I am missing the hostel life … More All About That Bass…Or Should That Be, Base?
My last official weekend in Brisbane, before I embarked on a five week stint as an Au Pair, was spent on the magnificently beautiful Fraser Island. Located off the East Coast of Australia, with access from Rainbow Beach or Hervey Bay, an approximate three hour drive from Brisbane itself, Fraser Island is the largest sand … More Fraser Island
Last time I blogged I’d just lost one of the two jobs I’d managed to bag in Brisbane. I was downbeat, worried and slightly peed off. I began frantically searching online for anything I thought I’d be good at. I applied for waiting-on jobs, barista jobs, bar jobs, admin jobs, temp receptionist jobs, Au Pair … More A Change Is Gonna Come
*Rubbish blog post alert. Hangs head in shame* Wow, so I’m entering my sixth week of being in Australia and I’m still in Brisbane, and I’m still working. Since I last updated my Blog, nothing much has happened to be honest. No wild adventures to speak of, no fleeting escapades and tales of debauchery; it’s … More Since I Left You…
Choosing the right hostel is like choosing the perfect wedding dress (I imagine…or maybe not…); you have to read the reviews, take into consideration the location, find out what amenities are on offer, do they have free wifi (so important in this day and age), what the prices are like, whether or not it has … More Things I’ve Learned About Hostels. Part One.
