Yessss, we are on our way! We’re (me and my boyfriend Rick) going on a WORLDTRIP! The backpack (12 kg, quite good if you ask me!) is ready to go. Of course, I’m really nervous for the unknown, but I guess that’s normal for such a new experience. We’re flying from Amsterdam, via a transfer in Dubai and Bangkok to Sydney. It will be a rather long flight, but it will be worth it (well at least I hope!).
We’re planning to discover Sydney during the first days and we’ll also visit one of my good friends, Marion, who is living in Sydney since December 2015. After Sydney, we’re going to Melbourne by car, which is also known as the graffity capital of Australia. After Melbourne, we’re flying to Cairns, which is located at the top of the Australian continent. This is the perfect spot to (scuba)dive, and from here you can go to the rainforest and even go on a crocodiletour, exciting!
After Cairns, we also would like to go to the Whitesundays (which are the most white beaches on earth), Fraser Island, Noosa, Byron Bay, Nimbin and to visit Brisbane. We’ll discover thee ast coast via a so-called Wicked Van and is totally covered with grafitti. The van is the place where we’ll sleep and camp and will function as our temporary home. After 6 weeks in Australia, we’ll fly to New Zealand and will stay there for 2 weeks. I’m really curious what the nature of New Zealand has to offer.
After New Zealand, we’re flying back to Bangkok and are planning to discover Asia. However, what we are gonna do exactly is still in the middle. In Januari, I’m planning to go to Kaapstad in South Africa for my modelling career, because also some money needs to be earned! My boyfriend, Rick will stay in Asia and will travel further together with a friend. After 2 months, he’ll come to visit me in Cape Town and we’ll finish our journey over there. As you can tell, I’m looking forward to our adventure and you’ll hear how I’ll be experiencing my life as a backpacker!
Cheers & see you in half a year!
Lots of love,
Rieke
