I have heard a lot about both places, so to finally get to check them out was definitely exciting. Albany Mo and I… Read More Road Trip to Albany and Margaret River
Hey, everyone! After months of anticipation, I was finally able to see Björk perform at Perth Festival in Langley Park. How surreal, to finally have the moment culminate. I also went to Rottnest Island for the (perhaps?) final time. Rottnest Island Farewell Ahead of my final day at work, I booked one last ticket to… Read More Björk at Langley Park
Dear blog (that introduction is for my housemate), this has been a much busier week than I intended… but that seems to be the trend, eh?

It went mostly without hiccups, except for the single most annoying thing that could probably happen – I wasn’t able to make the flight I had wanted to!
