Splashing In Puddles of Sand

Lately

Lately there have been ups and downs in my life. Travelling alone has been good so far, I've met a lot of people that I really really like...and every time it's hard to say goodbye to them and re-adjust to being alone, even though I know it's inevitable. The thing is, even though I know I WILL meet new people, because I have been the whole way through NZ and OZ, it is always strange to feel that feeling where you just wander...knowing there's no one who will call and say 'where are you?/lets hang out/lets go have dinner.'

But I recover from it every time and meet more people, so that's good. That's a positive...every time I feel down there is always something to pick me back up again. And I really haven't felt too sad for the last few months.

I start working in a couple of weeks. On one hand it'll be strange to not be travelling...to KNOW I'll have one bed, one room, one place to call my own for 3 months. I will be able to fully unpack my backpack! I look forward to that!!! I will miss travelling and seeing something new every day but I will love the experience of working here, in having a steady group of people around me day in and day out. Only saying goodbye to people staying at the chalet. It should be fun. And learning how to ski, how to snowboard, how to deal with the constant snow hahaha. I look forward to all that!

I fly to Canbera on Wednesday, stock up on warm clothes then head to the slopes. I'll keep you updated... Remember--life is only as good as you make it :)
