I arrived in Melbourne two nights ago, after travelling about 12,000 miles in just under a month.
Sally and Tristan picked me up at the airport. We met in Toronto almost 5 years ago. Sally has been giving me a crash course in Aussie lingo and they've both been giving me heaps of suggestions of where to go, people I could stay with, places I could work. They're fantastic.
Last night, I heard about a camping spot not too far away. You get a 20% discount if you don't see a platypus while you're there. I had dreams about herds of them, herds of platypus (-es? -ii? No idea).
It hasn't sunk in that I'm here.
At all.
About Me
- Ali
- I'm silly, rambunctious, self-involved, somewhat arrogant (I like to hope it's endearing), and wear my heart on my sleeve. People, storytelling, sunshine, and funny stuff are my top sources of glee. *** A large percentage of my time is spent daydreaming and I've had a narrator for as long as I can remember (which is around 2-&-a-bit years old). Until recently, I assumed everyone had one. Apparently, it's considered an indicator of possible mental health issues. I would have hoped the narrator would have worked that in sooner, but clearly it was news to both of us. *** I stopped focusing on dance about a year ago and have since discovered the joys of theatre, improv, beer, and idleness. The consequent improvement in my quality of life is impressive, to say the least. And now it's time for adventuring. I've packed up my bag and hit the road. These are my stories.
