Hey Hey...

Well About time for a little update!!

Ok So im a wee scottish backpacker from Inverness.. Left home almost a year ago which i cant believe it has seriously gone far tooo quickly!!

Began my travels in Thailand. Landed in Bangkok (Eh wow) mental place spent a few nights there then went to the islands for a few wks what a relaxing an amazing experience.. Loved it.

From there i went to sydney and lived in Coogee!!! loved that place. Spent 5 months there loving the sun/beach/PUB... Pretty cool place and met some amazing people... First experience in Australia of backpacking and i would say it was a pretty good first choice... So many memories there not to be forgotten..

From there i headed up the coast with 3 boys i had spent a few months with in the hostel. We bought a jeep called JACK and headed up the east coast via blue mountains/Byron Bay/Nimbin/Surfers and a few more stops on the way... We Camped the whole way HIGH 5 to us!!! Was such a laugh and def an experience.

Then came Brisbane where we all ran out of money and had to get jobs :( So a month working my ass off and i had saved enough to head up the coast.

First stop Noosa... where i learnt to surf,
Hervey Bay-Fraser Island... for a 3 day 2 night safari...self drive, sooooo coool!!! DINGO's BEWARE...
Airlie Beach...For the Whitsundays..3 day 2 night sailing adventure... including visiting White Haven Beach Amazing....
Mission Beach for a 140000ft sky dive.....WOohoo I did it!!!
Cairns for some partying..........

And then money ran out:( So after my adventure in Airlie Beach i decided to go back to work there...Loved this place (i would say my second home) and got stuck there so much so i tried to leave 3 times and on the 4th i managed to leave....

I took a flight to Perth where i met with some friends managed to stay in perth for a few wks... but im a Queensland girl through and through so i went back to Brisbane where i am now... Love Brisbane this time round, met some pretty cool people..... I swear everywhere in OZ is party central....Its awesome. Currently working with a nursing agency saving my pennies for who knows....... More travelling/deposit on a flat in Australia......Thats right im getting my residency applying for it in the next few wks.......... So planning to stay out here for a good few years.....

Miss my family and friends soooo much.... If i could take you all out here i would.

Hope everyone is well. Love and miss u all.
