Let the Adventure begin...

In a few days I board a plane to the wondrous, enigmatic, land down under. Where the Kangaroo roam, the accents abound and where my 2 month Aussie Adventure is set to begin.

Why did I pick Australia for my hiatus you ask? Well, a few reasons…
1. Its my favorite far away country (at one pt I wanted to move there)
2. I specialize in selling Australia and need to keep my knowledge first hand and current.
3. I have heaps of family scattered throughout the east coast.
4. Its safe, friendly and very welcoming. Which, for a solo female traveler like me, these reasons are paramount. (Did I mention every one has these fabulous accents?)

Perhaps its just me, but every few years, I feel the intense desire to leave everything/everyone I know and just be ‘somewhere’ else – to exchange the familiar for the unknown. Challenging myself to meet strangers, to learn to enjoy being by my myself, and just to discover the numerous sights and tastes that one encounters while traveling. I am both excited and anxious about this trip as there are so many things that could go wrong. But…. then I recognize that I am not truly alone and have my watchful Lord by my side, taking care of all my needs.

Welcome to my adventure......
