Hello everyone, I've been quite busy over the last few weeks so I thought it was time for another blog. So after abruptly losing my job at Computershare I made the decision to head to Alice Springs to do a tour of the outback. I managed to get a flight fairly cheaply through Tiger Airways and off I went. The flight there was probably the most interesting flight I've ever been on. As I looked out the window all I could see was orange, there was nothing for mil...

G'day all! Apologies for the lack of blog for a while but its been a busy past few weeks. Anyway, as you may know I'm in Melbourne at the moment and I have been looking for somewhere to live and a job. After 3 weeks of searching I've finally got them both sorted, for now anyway.

Well...my American adventure is now over and I am in Fiji! Bula!! First and foremost, and something I can't quite get me head around yet, the time here is 7am, August 1st. Which means I am now 12 hours ahead of the UK (I think). The flight over was trouble free and the 10.5 hours seemed to fly by. I think I'm used to long journeys now. An added bonus was that I had two seats to myself so it was much more comfortable. I have been in the country about 2 hours an...
