A change of a plan is on its way for me! As some of you may be aware I put a proposal in with the BBC for a documentary on teenage mental health in Scotland last spring when Australia hadn't even become an idea for me yet. Initially it was turned down as it was too controversial and they didn't think there would be an audience for such a taboo subject hence why I packed my bags and headed down under.
Fast forward to last Thursday and an email from the production company I was working on the project with in Edinburgh and my proposal has been commissioned! To say I cannot believe it is an understatement. I literally cannot get my head around the fact that an idea I came up with is going to be on television. Anyway, this means that come the beginning of August I will be home in time to work on the programme as it goes into pre-production.
I am sad to be leaving Australia before doing my big road trip however, this opportunity for work in Edinburgh is something I cannot pass up. Good news is I will still get to do my mini road trip with mum and dad from Brisbane to Sydney in July and I am going to attempt to get to Melbourne in June. Plus production will take about a year to complete and I will only be required for 6 months of it. I will use the months here and there to come back to Oz and see what I haven't so far and to visit some friends who are scattered all over the globe.
This is a dream come true for me to have my own project put into production and I never thought that it would happen so soon.
