After a manic couple of months travelling Asia and trying to settle down in Sydney, it seems that everything is finally falling into place.
Before I left the UK, I had no idea what to expect from Australia - Asia was different because we were travelling around and had quite a lot planned. However Australia to me, seemed a mystery because we had no plan apart from finding a job and somewhere to live.
Now having nearly accomplished that and creating a new plan for ourselves (which includes more travelling in last 4 months of my year working visa) I am starting to feel at home. And what strikes me as strange is how sometimes it feels like I am still in the UK! I know it is not what you move away for - but I guess it shows how at ease I feel here.
However, I have definitely had my moments where I feel lonely, think what if I had stayed at home and yes, home sick. But I guess these are all natural thoughts to have, which makes me think, is anyone ever truly 100% happy? Will there always be something that makes you think, what if? Or is this it?
I don't want to come across as spoilt in anyway, but before I left the UK to go on this amazing adventure (which it definitely is) I was so excited and had no idea what I was going to experience, people I would meet etc. And even though I have experienced different cultures and things I thought I never would, I still get the same feelings and thoughts I did when I was in the UK.
I'm hoping some of that will change, because part of why I wanted to go on this journey was to think differently about certain things/situations and to have another perspective on life, which I think I am starting to do. But, it is still early days and feel this will take time.
