Hey. Remember that time when I was living in Australia for 3 months and I gushed about it constantly? Remember when I promised over a month ago that I’d post pictures ASAP? Remember how I’m not so hot at being prompt? Oops…

So let’s recap, shall we? 89 days, approximately 25 000km, 12 flights, 4 states, 15+ cities/towns, a bajillion kangaroos, over 2000 photos… all culminated into 65 pictures, 4 posts. Fun times, ya? Hopefully this will give you a small taste of my travels in the land down unda.

Part I, as my post title so cleverly indicates, covers the beautiful cities of Melbourne & Canberra (and one picture from Adelaide). Total extremes. You’ve got Melbourne, your chill “arts & culture” hub, and Canberra, a man-made city built to house parliament. I won’t go into detail since I’d be here for an eternity and a half, but for a quick description of each picture, just hover over it. And if you want to know anything specific, gimme a shout in the comments. :)

Stay tuned for Part II – Sydney Suburbs tomorrow. xo.

Greetings from Down Under! The last few weeks of travel have been such a whirlwind, I don’t even know where to start. I’m having a great time so far, and I have a truck-load of pictures to share once I get a chance to sit down and sort through them. Gosh, it’s been so long since I’ve blogged properly (over a month, going on two!), I fear I don’t even remember how any more. I hope no one minds if I cheat a teeny weeny bit this morning with a sort of “drive by” post. I’m so over-flowing with inspiration and things I want to share that I almost don’t even know where to begin. Consider this my “Today (a.k.a. the last 3 weeks) I’m Inspired By The Following Things” post.

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”

England has always seemed like this fantastical and unattainable destination to me ever since I was young enough to point it out on a map. Like a mystical, faraway land that you can just barely see peeking out over the horizon but can never quite focus in on. I’m not sure why as I’m sure England and Canada have enough similarities. But to me, England seems so vastly different in the most fascinating of ways and my heart just aches at the thought of someday visiting.
