CROIKY!

....i got some news.... :)


GUESS WHERE I AM GOING THIS SUMMER?!!


(..where?)


AUSTRALIA, THE LAND DOWN UNDER! 


Melbourne, to be exact. 


So I applied to this church campus internship in Melbourne for six weeks this summer to work with their campus ministry and share my faith and grow in leadership, it sounds like an amazing opportunity. Not to mention that Australia has been my dream destination for EVER! Well, since I saw "The Boys are Back" movie which wasn't even that great, but the cinematography and scenic views won me over! I applied on a whim and did not fathom that this dream could actually become reality. First, I had to convince the parentals - it took some time, but they eventually warmed up to the idea (my mom getting over the fact that I might "go there and fall in love and never come home" according to her haha like THAT'S gonna happen). We figured out that the flight is paid for by airmiles, and I can take exams a week early to get there on time! Ahh this is so exciting, God is good. 


However, I haven't officially confirmed yet. Mom and Dad still need to "discuss things and find out more details" before I sign the dotted lines. What more is there that needs to be known? It's Australia! hahaa.


What a great way to start off the new year. Until I get to witness this beautiful and unique country, I guess a couple pictures will suffice :)


sydney, absolutely gorgeous

quiet time spot? i think so!

this is where I'll mainly be - in Melbourne

but in my free time maybe i'll give surfing a spin !
