You know when you think ‘What if?’…’What if I accept that job?’ ‘What if I fail?’ ‘What if I don’t like it?’. Well I suppose these are all possible predictions of the future, but if we’re honest with ourselves, we don’t really know until we try. So that’s what I’m here doing, I moved to Sydney Australia 2 months ago to live and work and experience another lifestyle. I’ll be honest, it was a long time in the planning and I did have a lot of ‘What if’ thoughts flying around my control freak head. But once it came down to it, I just had to let go of all those reservations and enjoy the journey.
I’m very lucky to be staying with my Auntie and Uncle in Paddington whilst I get work secured and figure out how long I want to stay in Sydney. I can confidently say already though, one of my ‘What if’ scenarios has already come true within the short space of time I’ve been here – ‘What if I love it and want to stay?’. Of course I knew I would enjoy the sun and city life, but it’s so much more than that – lovely people from all walks of life, fantastic work opportunities, glorious sunshine and the cosmopolitan lifestyle next-door to beach bum life is just perfect.
I guess it’s early days and too soon to decide exactly how long I will be here, but one thing it has given me already is a new perspective and approach to life. I haven’t had the inspiration to write on this blog for a while, but being in a new city on the other side of the world seems a better time than ever to write again. I’ve already been lucky enough to create some amazing memories with family and new friends in the past few months. So now I feel inspired to write about and share some of these awesome experiences here in Australia – food, health, fitness, fashion, lifestyle and travel…lets begin again.
