oh i've had such a blast! such a magical journey. truly fairytale like, and an absolute dream come true. i've seen so much, discovered a world which i never knew existed. ok yes i knew europe existed geographically, but really, the depth beneath the existence of a this continent - the buildings, architecture, nature, people, and most importantly, life.

i've seen what it's like to live in kiruna - the ways of people living in sub zero temperatures, in a land higher in latitude than iceland. i've seen the french - their romantic (lustful?) culture, noticed the subtleness of the variations in accents (oui - oowee ou ouway?), immitated british accents for days on end, almost died talking to a scottish. i freaked out, picturing a humble tiny self at the tip of those ice capped mountains in the distance, but eventually mustering courage to go down those amazing austrian ski slopes (although perhaps not the wisest decision of my life). i've realised how it felt to be a vagabond, homeless, destitute, and desperate - was i to survive a night out in the cold of negative ten degrees? or perhaps fate would smile down upon me and grant me a roof over my head for just one night - when the whole city was booked out? i was to discover the kindness of the human soul, when every hotel i went to helped me search high and low, across dozens of hotel in a tiny town, to find me a caravan which could put me up for the night. lost hungry and homeless, i was ready to take the next flight out of town. only problem was that i had already missed the last flight of the night. exciting. i've met the most wonderful people on this trip, people cultures and continents and timezones apart, seen how they live and how they think. i thought the free spirit was only made for the movies, thought belief and hope in true love were foolish, but i've learnt to see the beauty of it. i've learnt u can do anything in life as long as you believe. i've seen nature perform its magic - don't get me wrong, nature is magical down under - but the magic it works in other parts of the world? wow. oh and strangest thing yet, this trip found me stumbling into the US of A!

how i love rambling. the beauty of disorganisation. can u see it?
