In the spirit of the new year (and while it's still January) I've decided to put up my resolutions. After many years of well-nigh impossible resolutions, I decided to have some fun with it this year. Thus, my resolutions are as follows:

New Year’s Resolutions 2008

• Watch 12 Classic movies (listed as I've watched them)

1. How To Marry a Millionaire
2. Some Like It Hot
3. Gentlemen Prefer Blondes
4. Psycho
5. Breakfast At Tiffany's
6. An Affair To Remember

• Do sit ups every day unless you play sport. (Like that was ever going to happen. I gave up on the second of January...)

• Go to church at least once a month.

• Make glace fruit. (I have just found out today (the first of February) that glace fruit takes a month to make, and am now kicking myself)

• Read “Gone With The Wind” or “The Iliad” or “The Odyssey”

• Eat fruit instead of junk food once a month.

• Go to the Gladiators audition in 2008.

• Buy a scanner and finish your travel journal.

• Eat something you would NEVER eat. I ate a fried prawn head! (19th April)

• Go for a jog once a month. (I'm very lazy and didn't do my January jog but since the football (soccer) season has started, I have to do 2 jogs at least twice a week because of training. No fair!)

• Buy a lottery ticket on your birthday. Well I bought a lottery ticket and a scratchie. Total Cost $5.60. Total Winnings $6. Total Profit 40 cents. SCORE!!!

• Cook something with cloves.

• Bake a cake from scratch using your own recipe.

• Regular sleeping hours!

I was accepted into an exchange programme from my university in Australia to go to the University of Lincoln for one semester. I arrived in Lincoln on the 13th of September and I stayed until the end of February! You can visit my Lincoln page here.

I did a tour of Egypt in December, Ireland in January and headed home on the 14th of February (a rather strange way to spend Valentine's Day!).

I felt much more at home in London when I returned from Europe than I would ever have expected, considering the terrible way my holiday started - I got so sick I had to go to hospital on my second day in London). Cheers to all who actually read my page and I'll update again shortly.

A Little Bit About Me

I am a student in Australia with a BIG TIME travel bug. I am hopeless at geography but since I have started looking at different countries to travel to, I find I can actually answer some Trivial Pursuit questions!

I have just returned from a "Scary By Myself Travel Adventure" including countries where I was unable to understand the language. I had previously only travelled with friends (or parents, a long time ago) to English speaking countries.

I love nature and history. The part of me that wants to never stop travelling is run by them, but I am Australian to the very core, as I discovered on my first long trip away from home. I love the way I feel in Australia - there is something about the smells and the scenery that is so comforting to me that I believe I will always call Australia home.

Some of my favourite photos are on display here

Living in the Blue Mountains
.
I usually live in the lower Blue Mountains on a property that backs right onto the National Park. There are plenty of great bushwalks in the immediate area ranging from scrambling up the side of a gorge (my favourite) to gentle walks along trails. There are lookouts all around the area and most of them are not fenced off. I grew up in this area and I always feel at home here.

The Blue Mountains are named for the colour that comes from the eucalyptus trees as they let off a bluish haze. If you ever get to Australia, be sure to pluck a leaf from a eucalyptus tree and crush it in your hand and smell the oil, it's a great smell.

Visit my Blue Mountains page here or you can click the link at the top of this page. I've put a lot of tips and information on this page now so if you're interested in the Blue Mountains, check it out! There's a travelogue of extra photos as well.

"Whenever I go anywhere I have to go to hospital and my camera breaks"

What?

It's quite true. I seem to be cursed! It all started in 2003, my first major trip away from home...

America:
Camera broke at Mt St Helens (on my birthday, I might add...). The manual film winder snapped.
Hospitalised at Tuba City, Arizona (Indian Reservation).

Europe:
Camera broke in Switzerland. The lens of my SLR camera got stuck and would not budge.
Hospitalised in London.

Africa:
Camera broke in Abu Simbel, Egypt. Digital camera would freeze when I took a photo, had to remove batteries to turn off.
Well, all right, I wasn't hospitalised, but I had the flu for the entire trip.

My awesome sister

Dragon Boat Racing

Here's a photo of my sister, who was part of the Australian champion dragon boat racing team - NSW won the title in 2006!! I have a national sports champion sister! I am so proud of her! She's just come back from China competing in the championships for Australia this past September! Her team came third! (I think China came first and second)
