So this is a little "end of the day" ritual I've started this month, inspired by my aunt Linda. I really wish I'd started this back in February but better late than never! I'm definitely going to continue this for the rest of the journey, and probably life. It's so nice to take the time … Continue reading Best Part of my Day April 2019 →

It's 12:30am right now and my room feels absolutely freezing at a chilly 13 degrees outside. Last night we even dipped down to single digits! Autumn is officially here, and it feels about the same as summer does in Canada most years. Our days are generally in the high 20's, maybe an odd 30 degrees … Continue reading April 28th →

I'm not going to lie, my week was tough. Between fleas in my bed, mice in my oven, my friends leaving and new girls arriving and getting homesick, it was a lot going on. I say this a lot but I really am so thankful for how well I can stay in contact with my … Continue reading Easter 2019 →

Hey everyone! I've had a busy week. Our newest backpacker, Beth arrived and I've been showing her the ropes. She's much quieter than I am and pretty much keeps to herself, but she's nice and easy to get along with. We had a couple really busy nights on the weekend because the next town over … Continue reading Boomi Update April 9th →

It feels like it's been a while since I wrote an update! everything is still going well for me, there's some changes coming up as the girls I work with leave and new ones come, but we'll worry about that as we go. Today was a high of 31 but it was only 20 at … Continue reading Boomi Update March 28 →

Hey everyone! I've been having a blast lately. If I'm not at work or playing with puppies, I'm hanging out with new friends or with the other girls who work here, getting our car stuck (lol!), having after work drinks with my boss, or walking around town and exploring. I really do like my job. … Continue reading Boomi Update! March 19th →

Went for a walk around town today and snapped a few pictures

Boomi is such a fun little town! The first night I was here I came straight off the bus and just got to hang out. The other girls took me out to have some drinks and meet some people when they were done their shifts, so we ended up at a farmhouse where my boss's … Continue reading First Week of Work →

Being in a town of 200 people six hours from the coast really gives a person a chance to see the most authentic parts of the country. It's only been a couple days but I notice little ways the Australian and Canadian culture is different (but also similar!) constantly. Slang Terms This one is probably … Continue reading Cultural Differences →

Oh my goodness, this has been an entire adventure in two days. It's so completely different out here than on the coast, and that's exactly what I was hoping for. I've only just arrived and I'm already so happy with my decision to work out in the country. Let's start with leaving Surfer's Paradise. Check … Continue reading Travelling to Boomi! →
