One Year Abroad!

I know you have all been marking your calendars with the days you have gone without us, so you should already know that December 6^th marks our 1 year travel anniversary!

When this whole trip began we were completely unsure of how long it would last and how we would feel about being so far from home. Let me just say that it has been the best decision of our life as a married couple. We agree that there was no better time or way to experience New Zealand and now Australia. We are both pretty proud of the things we have seen and done, as well as the people we have met along the way. The memories and friendships will last a life time… and we aren’t even done yet!

We are currently both working full time jobs in Sydney’s CBD. We will do this until mid February when we plan to take off on a big trip of Australia. The first stop will be a 5 day Surf School where we will have two surf lessons a day at 7 Mile Beach where we will be staying – Happy Birthday Jeff. The remainder of our plans are in the works and we will update you as they are booked.

 

Thank you to everyone who is following our Blog!
