I just came back from a 6 week trip to Australia; spending time with my relatives (some of whom I’ve never met before or haven’t seen in 20 years) and I had a really really really great time. Everyone was so welcoming and just appreciative; I was really overwhelmed by how amazing the whole experience was.
On my flight back I was crying the whole time; I never felt like that before and just couldn’t handle my emotions (much to the dismay of the people sitting next to me). Most of all I just didn’t wanna return to my dysfunctional family in Germany. It’s been my goal to move to Australia for some time now but after this experience I’m determined to move as soon as possible. It’s gonna take a lot of figuring stuff out and it won’t be easy but I’ll make it work.
Just wanted to get that out there I guess.
Edit: if someone happens to have a few tips and pointers for me regarding my plans they would be greatly appreciated
Where abouts in Aus did ya visit/see while over here?
I have family all over NSW (and some in Queensland and ACT); I went to Sydney, Canberra, Wagga Wagga and Albury.
Out of all cities, I liked Wagga the best, just a nice and quiet country town with a great community. I can totally see myself living there quite comfortably.
I’ve seen the Blue Mountains, been camping in the bush, went to a few lookouts, zoos and national parks. My top spot is Bobbin Head in Mount Colah though.
More than happy to chat some more about it via PM if you want.
