Almost a Year

Yank Down-Under

People always say, "time flies..." It's the truth. Since last August, when I made the journey to Sydney, Australia, my life has been filled with amazing experiences. 
​
​On August 8, 2018, I arrived in Sydney, Australia, not much after 6 am. After a very long flight, sitting next to two complete strangers, I departed the plane and became immediately overwhelmed  by the massive terminal, noise, and number of travelers awaiting their international flights. My mind and body had no understanding of time, and I felt like a zombie who just needed to read the signs and follow the heard of people through customs. 

The transition out of customs, gathering my luggage and finding transport was unexpectedly simple. Although I had only a few international trips, under my belt, it was better than what I had imagined or conjured up in my head. With two suitcases and a carry-on bag in hand, I made my way through the metal maze in order to hire a taxi... I was off to my new, but temporary apartment, in the CBD.
