'My life in Melbourne'

In and around Australia

I have been living in Melbourne for over three years now, how crazy is that. In this time I have met some amazing people and learnt a lot about myself and life in general. Most of these last three years I have spent with my gorgeous man and best friend, Michael. I have been working as an accounts manager for most of this time and because of this, have become quite lazy and unfit. I am looking forward to not having a car overseas and having to walk around more and take in the sites on trains and buses.

As much as I will miss Melbourne, it is time for me to move on, the world awaits :) For those of you that have not yet been to Melbourne, I strongly recommend that you visit it one day soon - it is a beautiful city, with sooo much to offer.

I am taking away so many great experiences from the last few years, some of which I have shared with you in the attached photos. I have added comments to the photos to explain what they are from - a lot are drunken photos and I apologize to everyone for the embarrassment :) You can click on the photos to enlarge them and scroll through them that way, this will also show up the full comments underneath the photo.
