So I guess I should start from the beginning of the thought process/decision making that now is Australia.
Originally I had thought about doing a gap year because I knew that if I was in England when all my friends were going off to uni I would see pictures of them all living their new lives, knowing full well I would be jealous and feel really crap about not going to uni ect ect. So going away in September was always in the back of my mind, doing what I hadn't quite figured out but hey!
So I can't even remember how the idea came about, but Cornelia (co-traveller) and I thought about going to Australia, knowing I had extended family pretty much all over the place and we did our research regarding jobs and whatnot and long story short a few weeks later around Easter time we had booked our flights and had applied for a working holiday visa!
Over the summer we travelled Europe giving us a little more of an insight into hostels (dear lord never again) and living abroad and budgeting and so on. However much "character building" the trip gave us it also set me back a fair few pennies but all part of learning.
So now we're just under a week away and it's all getting very real...
