Travel Bug

On Sunday morning I am set to embark on an epic journey. I am traveling to Australia for a semester to study at LaTrobe University in Melbourne. It should be a blasty blast. I'm going to try and keep you all updated on the shenanigans and misadventures that I am sure to get up to while Down Under. I have 26 hours in the air ahead of me but couldn't be more excited for the challenge.

Here's a list of things I wish to experience:

-Wrestle a kangaroo to the ground with my bare hands
-Throw multiple shrimp on the barby
-Witness a dingo eating a baby
-Pick up the accent: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpBYnL5fAXE
-sing an aria in the Sydney opera house
-kick the stingray that killed Steve Irwin
-surf just like my hero Cody Maverick
-finally be in a country that actually has a team in the World Cup!

I'm going to miss you all so much so I plan on keeping this updated regularly.
Special thanks go out to everyone that helped me out with preparations for the trip and encouraged me. Most of all my family. Mum, Dad, Matt, Roisin, Mairead, Heather...I love you all and appreciate your support more than you know.

Wish me Luck! Here goes nothing!
