So I am in my final few weeks of my travels in Australia and it got me thinking as to the things I will miss most about Oz and I came up with:
Coffee - England does not know how to make good coffee. Which means I may have to give up the old caffeine hit before it leads me to great disappointment and misery.
Sunshine - although I chose to live in the city with probably the worst weather it doesn't matter because when the sun is shining it is the most glorious feeling in the world.
Beaches - I've never been a beach bunny and I'm quite happy being pale, but I love the ocean, the sunsets from a beach and the electrical storms. Beautiful.
The mindset - Australia knows that life is not meant to be all work and no play. It promotes a balance between the two and with the advantage of having beautiful and diverse landscapes it's pushes people to get out and explore.
Music - There is a great unsigned music scene here and there are so many great artists. I'll definitely be listening to Triple J online once I get home!
Sense of freedom - OK so this isn't solely linked to Australia but I have loved just being able to take off and leave whenever I feel like it. I'm not looking forward to heading back to bills and boring lifeness. Boooooo.
But what am I looking forward to returning to...
Cheap alcohol - it is expensive over here!!
My acting - its been a year and I miss it terribly.
Decent clothes shops - the fashion over here isn't the best and its also very overpriced for poor quality garments.
Hummus - it just tastes odd over here.
Men with a sense of humour - don't get me wrong there are some gorgeous men over here that I am more than happy to stare at but they just aren't as on the ball with the banter as the British lads.
See you soon people!
