Josie and the Aussie Dolls

Written by LIM College | 3/9/11 5:19 PM

This past weekend was the best weekend so far here in Australia. I went home with a fellow student. Her name is Josie and this is here first year at Uni (here in Australia they call College Uni, which is short for University.) She is currently studying Art Communication. Both of her parents are artists and her little brother is in a band.

I really enjoyed this weekend because of her family. Everyone was really helpful and the were great hosts. I felt as if I went home to my own family for the weekend. Josie lives at Torque Beach. It is the most beautiful place on the planet! No matter where you are at, you hear the ocean there. The air is so fresh and beautiful. There are kangaroos are just running down the street.

One would think there would be buildings everywhere and a lot of touristy items around, but that's not the case at all. There are just homes, shops, and the BEAUTIFUL beach. It made me feel so refreshed. I was able to clear my mind and think more about what I want out of life. I took this trip for that reason. I love it here and I might even start a life here!

P.S. They do have sprinkles here for ice cream! Josie informed me!
