I am travelling 14 hours, about 20,000 kilometres to a country where I don’t know anyone. I will be on my own for nine days, relying on the kindness of people I’ve never meet before. My thought this morning\u00a0 before dragging my sorry arse out of bed was I’m going to be staying with people who I’ve never spoken to or seen in real life – I must be crazy.<\/p>\n
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep!!<\/p>\n
But really, isn’t that what all overseas travel is about? You’re in a country where you essentially have none of the usual supports. I’ll really be on my own and that is a little freaky.<\/p>\n
But all this still can’t overwhelm the excitement I feel. I’m going overseas! I’m going to meet some people who I spend more time communicating with then my friends who live two blocks away from me. It’s going to be brilliant, fantastic.<\/p>\n
Oohh… QANTAS lets you check out what the inflight entertainment might be and I can watch Iron Man<\/em> again. My god, I’m nerdy! I get distracted from freaking out by the fact I’ll be able to watch Iron Man<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I am travelling 14 hours, about 20,000 kilometres to a country where I don’t know anyone.
