My Euro Trip 2 Let's Go!!

Day 1: The long flight that is Melbourne to London

I have finally arrived in London!!!! I left home at 5.45pm Melbourne time on Monday 11th May and arrived in London at my hotel at 3pm London time on Tuesday 12th May (midnight Melbourne time). Door to door it was a total of 30 hours and I am exhausted!

After spending the last 17 months planning the trip and having the last 3 weeks at home getting ready for my trip (and lazing around the house) I was excited that the day was finally here. My parents drove me to the airport and after we said our goodbyes it was time to walk through the International Departures gate alone. Even though I am excited to be traveling by myself, being stuck waiting for your plane at an airport by yourself is boring! Especially if you are like me and hate shopping so looking at duty free wasn't an option to waste time.

My Euro Trip 1 If You Were To Tell Me

Welcome to my travel journey. I am about to embark on the biggest adventure of my life - 3 months traveling around UK and Europe.

I first decided I was going to organise a big overseas trip back in December 2013 so it has been a long time coming. After 17 months planning the day is finally here! I will admit that I am a little bit nervous but I am so excited for one of the biggest adventures of my life. I am about to travel overseas for 3 months solo and I can't wait!

If you were to tell me 2 years ago that I would quit my job and travel overseas for 3 months by myself I wouldn't have believed you. I am such a cautious person that throwing caution to the wind, quitting my job and traveling solo is a big step for me.

I'm using this journal as a way to keep in contact with family and friends back home, but also as a memento of my trip.
