I have officially left work *yaaaay*
& now I have 2 weeks to get my shit together.
This may come as a huge surprise to everyone, but I've not actually packed yet.
Like not once. Not even a small test-pack,
Nothing.
Wtf is wrong with me.?
Im far too relaxed & its kind of scary.
I honestly don't think my brain has processed that I'm leaving yet so its just all chill & happy & going with the flow.
I will do a post on what I'm actually taking, but since I've not packed yet I honestly couldn't tell you & it'd be all lies.
I will say that I am ok, if not over-prepared, in terms of research.
I am confident in saying that I could move to Perth today and I would be able to navigate myself around the city without the use of maps or phones and know exactly where I was and where I needed to go. I could locate a specific restaurant or cafe, know exactly what I'm going to eat without looking at the menu & know how much its going to cost me.
Im sad I know.
Its all Pinterest & Instagram's fault.
It all started I was looking at pretty pictures on there of Western Australia & Perth and I found a picture of an awesome milkshake & it led to hours or finding out where it was from and then stalking & following that cafe on Instagram and reviewing their online menu & now i'm good to turn up and know what I want to order.
So whats the plan?
Well I would have loved to plan every single day for 12 months but I felt I should leave myself some options for spontaneity so i've settled for the first 2 months.
No, not every single day, but a rough idea of what i'll be up to!
I am flying from Manchester airport to Doha & then Doha to Perth 2 weeks on Monday!
I will be staying in Perth for 5 weeks & staying @ Billabong Backpackers Resort
Ive booked my accommodation for the whole month, but if I don't actually end up liking the place I can cancel free of charge and go somewhere else.
Some of the things I'm most looking forward to seeing in Perth are ...
THE QUOKAS; i.e the happiest critters on Earth & its like a craze or something to get a #quokaselfie
They are only found on Rottnest Island so that'll be an exciting day trip!
COTTESLOE BEACH; apparently one of the best places to watch the sunset over the Indian Ocean
FREMANTLE; great markets & home to so many foods I discovered on Instagram.
PERTH ZOO & AQWA; I love a good zoo & aquarium
After 1 month in Perth I will be taking to the road with
'Adventure Tours Australia / Intrepid Travel'
& going on a 3 week trip from Perth up to Darwin.
The trip travels up the coast of Western Australia & visits some incredible places...
