“I knew that if I allowed fear to overtake me, my journey was doomed. Fear, to a great extent, is born of a story we tell ourselves, and so I chose to tell myself a different story from the one women are told. I decided I was safe. I was strong. I was brave. Nothing could vanquish me.”

There and back again...


... A hobbit's tale by sophie hebert bahaaaa I'm such a nerd! (Can't wait to see the new hobbit movie!) Anyways all this to say that I have officially finished my regional work and can now come back for a second year working visa!!! Seriously so happy about that! I finished on dec 10 and was worrying about finding another job because I'm going away on jan 2, needed some more money and something to do until then but nowhere was hiring! 

Luckily I got put on a team through Vinepower for a few days and started my first work in the vineyards. My god it's hard! If I had to do that for three months I would have given up for sure lol mad props to everyone who works out there! We are doing stringing on baby grape vines so tying strings on the bottom of the vines and then up onto the wire so that they grow straight up. And then putting plastic guards on them so they don't get eaten by kangaroos. Lots of bending and squatting down to reach the plants I pretty much couldn't walk when I got home on the first day! We start at 6am which is great because by the time it's about 10 the sun is beating down on you and it's 30 degrees and you're all sweaty! I wore Sarah's sombrero kind of as a joke the first day but it is awesome! And a fly net to keep the flies off you, there are sooo many!! 

Me in my sexy orange vest and sombrero haha

Thankfully the work will be done this week and it has worked out perfectly to give me a bit of extra cash before I leave on my east coast trip!!! So excited! I can't believe its Christmas soon it really doesn't feel like it! Got a lovely box of presents from my momma so I can't wait to open those :)



Everything is awesome here as usual! New roomie is very cool we get along so well :) just working going to the beach and getting excited for my trip!! Just wanted to give a quick update for everyone and share my happiness about being able to come back to this amazing country! I love it so much. 

Miss everyone hope it's not too cold at home!! Love and Christmas spirit to all xoxoxoxox
