Hey! Thanks for your reply!

I have actually already been to New York (and London too btw) and you are right, it can be a bit much. And maybe that is why I hesitate to go now while I’m starting to feel a bit tired.

So I have made up my mind and I’m going to Montréal instead. I haven’t been there yet and I’m actually quite excited about going, which is really all that matters in this case. (And London will be after that, and will most likely be my last station before I go home.)

I feel much better now that I’ve made up my mind. And I don’t think I’ll regret not going to New York. Perhaps I will at some point regret not going to Costa Rica, but I know that right now that wouldn’t be a good move for me. Especially since I wouldn’t be doing the voluntary work that I thought I might do there.

So it does look like I’ll end these travels a fair bit sooner than I had planned. But I still think that 5 months of travelling on my own is pretty impressive for me. So no regrets there really. (I have to say though that I do more or less regret having bought that round-the-world ticket. I would not do that again for the simple reason that you can’t possibly know how you’ll feel and what you’ll want to do while travelling before you’ve even started. But of course I didn’t realise that when I bought the ticket. But I wouldn’t advice purchasing that to anyone.)

And now I’ll have to go shopping tomorrow because I have very little warm clothes and I suspect it will be fairly cold in Montréal. I think it will be a nice change, but please don’t use that against me when I complain about being cold in a week or so.

hello tumblr-friends

i need your help. because i don’t know what to do. truth is that my travelling life is starting to wear me out and i’m starting to truely and deeply despise hostel dorm rooms. (currently in my dorm there are two girls who don’t understand that when you come home in the middle of the night and someone is sleeping you try to be as quiet as possible and you do not have loud conversations from one bed to the next.)

i’m pretty sure that my seven months plan was aiming a bit high for me and i know i’ll be back home long before may.

but now i don’t know where to go next, because part of me doesn’t want to go anywhere anymore. not even home. costa rica is off the table because i couldn’t possibly take any more heat and humidity. not even to mention the mosquitos. i hate them and they seem to love me.

the itinerary says that my travels should go in this order: ~~costa rica~~, new york, montreal, london(UK). but right now even new york seems too much. but won’t i regret not going?

(i’m feeling frustrated, sad, anxious and confused today so i apologise for this self-indulgently pathetic post. also i got ripped off yesterday by a money exchange agent and nothing i said could make her understand that she had make a mistake. this did not help in feeling like i’m done with travelling for now.)

Sunset at Brighton Beach

(Scarborough, Western Australia)

This was the sunset last night. Needless to say I love it here now. (I’m only slightly fickle-minded, I promise…)

Scarborough, Perth, Australia

Bronte Beach (Sydney, Australia)

Above is one last photo of Sydney. I arrived in Perth a few hours ago and am now in a hostelroom in Scarborough.

I’m not entirely sure I’ll like it here. There’s a beach really close by, which is a plus, but there’s also the people you’d probably expect come with an Aussie Beach.

So many people! And they all seem to be under 22. And none of them seem to like clothing very much. … Let’s just say I don’t exactly fit in here. I don’t even own a bathing suit.

And it’s hot here. Very hot.

But I don’t want to bitch too much. Perhaps tomorrow, when I’ve slept and showered properly, I’ll see this in a new light and I’ll like it a bit better.
