Hello My Lovelies,
I do apologise for that lack of posting on my behalf over the last three months, well no quite a lack of posts, 0 post to be exact.. (sorry) The only person I can blame for that would be myself. I am a shocker for starting things and never finishing them, and I really need to work harder at learning to finish challenges that I start.
Over the last few days I have been thinking about my trip to the UK and Ireland which I took almost a year ago with 2 good friends. We spent 3 weeks traveling through England, Scotland and Ireland on a Contiki Tour with what can only be described as the greatest group of people you could ever possibly meet, I would consider almost all of them Family now. On that trip I made a bunch of friends that I will have for life, from all over the world and I'm soooo so thankful that I got to meet them and spend the time I did with them.
And due to it being St Patrick's Day yesterday, I had a massive feeling of post Ireland depression, wishing I was back over there in one of the greatest countries in the world with some of the greatest people on this earth, not only my contiki family but also just the general Irish population and people. The Irish are some of the greatest people I have ever met, they are probably the closest people to Australians you can get in terms of their sense of humour and their drinking culture. I just love everything about the Irish, they always seem so happy, carefree, welcoming, hospitable and not to mention their fantastic accents, I could listen to them speak all day. I have always had a love for the Irish, I also love the fact that my Dad's side of the family originated from Ireland many many years ago.
I don't just have love for Ireland, but also for London and the rest of the UK as well. I just think London is one of the greatest cities on this earth, you can just go for a walk for a couple of hours and see so much amazing and incredible things. I felt safe walking around the city at night, a city that I had only been in not even 2 days. I would get on a plane right now and be back there in an instant if I could. I would seriously drop my life here in Australia this second if someone offered me a ticket and a job in London or anywhere in Ireland.
I am planing on saving up my money and going back over there before the end of this year to work. The London Pubs program seems like the best option for someone like myself, having worked in pubs and restaurants since I was 16, hospitality is what I know, and the pubs and drinking culture in London and the UK would be awesome fun to experience from both sides of the bar, not only drinking in them but also serving behind them. It would be an amazing learning experience and so much fun!
I just wish I could get paid to travel the world, experiencing different cultures and opening my mind to different traditions from every corner this amazing earth has to offer. That would be my dream.
I will leave you with some random pictures from my trip away and hopefully I will be able to share some new ones with you in a few months time when I am back over there once again, living it up in such an amazing country.
