It's a Small World

As someone who has travelled a lot, and who have friends who travel, I have had the opportunity to make friends all around the world.  This is both a blessing and a curse. It is so wonderful knowing people from different countries, it means I get to learn about life in other cultures and places. It sucks because of the time zones and trying to talk and catching up. it's hard when everyone is busy and you go weeks or months without talking. and sometimes years between visits.


I am still learning how to keep in touch with everyone I love from around the world, sometimes I will message them, sometimes the other way around. It's even harder to find a date and place to meet up in especially if there is a group of us wanting to catch up. Money and time off work all play a part and when most people can meet up and two cant it just doesn't feel right.


Sometimes you just have to do your best to keep the connections with people, and the connection you can keep with having long-distance friends are amazing, it means that you can stand the test of time and distance even if I when you see each other its few and far between, its like you never went a day without seeing each other.


When I lived in the USA I did not do a very good job of keeping in touch with my Australian friends, I believe this I because my time in the USA was limited to a year and so I knew I would be coming back to see them. I did message and chat every now and then but nowhere near as much as I would have if we lived in the same city. I want to do a better job with my USA and UK friends now that I am here in Australia.



Since I have no idea when the next time I will see some of these people again I am making a conscious effort to message them and chat at least once or twice a week. I have a few group chats going to that we can keep the group dynamic going even though we are all scattered around the world.


I know that if my friends put in as much effort as I will (and I know they will!) it will be easy keeping the friendships I have made.

Thanks for Reading, See you Next Week

Recently I got back from holiday in Sydney and it was so much fun! I got to see so many iconic sights, you can go to my previous post and have a look at some of my pictures from my trip.  Whilst there I ate at a lot of really nice places, one of my favourites was Sweethearts Rooftop Bar. I went on a date here and it was beautiful, I loved the atmosphere and aesthetic. It was partly undercover with some open areas for dancing. Without sound too old, the music was a little loud to have a conversation at, however, we did go on a Saturday night so it may have been different in the middle of the week as it was more club-like the night I went.  Unfortunately, smoking was permitted on the rooftop bar as well, it was only in the open are parts, however, the rooftop is not huge so the smoke made its way over to where I was sitting pretty fast.   When looking at the bar online it said we needed to book, however when we arrived the bartender told us ...

As some of you know, as I seem to talk about it all the time, I have just spend a year in the USA working at Disney World. The exact dates of my being out of Australia are actually December 19 th 2017 to January 17 th 2019. And boy oh boy am I missing home. When this blog post goes live I will have been back in Australia exactly one day. So the list I am making now is everything I miss and am looking forward to seeing again when I get home. The first, and most important is my Cat, Tinker. I miss him so much and have been missing him since about June 2018. My cat and I are very close, he always sits or lays next to me when I am working on my laptop and will sleep on my bed. He is also just cute and fluffy and the more I type the more I miss him. I am also missing my friends. A lot. My Australia friends and I would regularly hang out and do things together, sometimes it would be eating out at a dessert bar or a buffet. Other times it would be going and having a BBQ on...
