Matt Goes RTW!
Hey Everyone,
Just thought that i would drop you all a quick email to say hi and let you know what i am up to asit feels like a while since i have written to you all, altho most of you on facebook know what i am up to!!
i cant find the last email though which is a little annoying so i dont know where abouts i got up to so i will just tell you what i am up to at the moment.
i am currently in cairns working for the Ultimate Party Bar crawl, selling tickets and being a rep on nights out. This is a pretty cool job as you get to meet lots of people on the streets, get well known in all the bars which = cheap and sometimes free drink :D, and you get to go out on the bar crawls twice a week (and drink with all the people you signed up!!).
The downside to this job is that its TOTALLY commission based which means that if your not selling tickets, or if the people aren't around then your not going to make any money at all. This is a bit of a problem as things have been a bit up and down in Cairns recently for weather which has meant its not as busy as it should be. To give you an idea of what we do here is the website link - http://www.ultimatepartycairns.com/. its not updated much (they are talking to people to get it updated etc) but this is basically what we do.
I am going to get another job (probably evening work) as i am not earning enough money to save for New Zealand and Fiji. I am going to be flying to New Zealand probably on about the 20th of September for a month. Then i will fly into Fiji for a couple of weeks (altho this depends on money). This should give me enough money to save the cash that i need to do lots of cool stuff in Nz and Fiji, and get a flight back into Melbourne for some work before xmas and new year. We will see tho!!
Frank (my long term travelling partner) is leaving for NZ tomorrow so that will be a little weird as we have been travelling together since i arrived back in Dec 06. Simon (one of the other guys i did the E.Coast with) is also flying back into Melbourne tomorrow so that just leaves me and Timmy in Cairns. I have made lots of new mates working on the party and in the hostels etc so there is still no shortage of people about to talk to.
I am working most days on the streets so i am not really up to much at the moment, I am however, hoping to do some more tours around Cairns before leaving as there is still lots to see and do.
Hope all is well with everyone back home. For those who know him, Paul B has had his little girl and named her Lilly. Congrats mate :D.
