Ifrån första början var jag säker

A stroll through Sydney makes you calm.

14/11/2023

Hi everyone! 

I have landed in Sydney! So far, my perception is that this place has a great potential of making me very happy. 

Interesting events:

Yesterday I went on a walk around Chinatown with Clara, my travel-mate, and installed myself into a lovely hostel called WakeUp Hostel. Later on, I went on another walk by myself towards Hyde Park, but I didn't find it... it turned out that the person who led me towards it was pointing in the opposite way (no, not on purpose). I got lost for a while because I did not have any wifi, but I remembered my way back and everything went ok, no need to worry. In the evening I went to a dance class! Unexpected, I know. It was held by a girl that I met on my walk through Chinatown, so that was exciting.

I ate like literally nothing yesterday since there were almost no restaurants that sold anything gluten-free, at least that matches my budget (rip). I went to a supermarket but had like no energy to cook anything, so I ate raisins and nuts (which was good I can not complain).  

Special Moods: 

I am so confused, the people in my dorm seem nice, every single one of them where solo travellers, so that feels good. However, I have realized that this trip is very much up to me, there are a lot of opportunities and I need to choose my own path. I can not rely on other people to plan everything for me like I can not just get a friend and follow them around. And that is what feels confusing - like.. which path is the best one? How do I have the most fun? How do I get a lot of friends? 

I have also realized that I will, at times, be feeling lonely. Right now I have nobody here that I know I can call at any time, which feels a bit scary. I know that I can start a conversation with almost anyone and they all are here to help if I have any questions, but I have no secure point. Hopefully, I will get that along the way though. I have a lot of activities to look forward to, not least at WakeUp, there is a bar here that has events almost every day. (So that is probably what I will do tonight after writing my CV, wish me luck.) I am also excited about my tour that starts on Thursday.

Special Bonds

The people in my dorm seem spontaneous and inclusive, which feels nice. And people in general at this hostel are welcoming, like a girl that I talked to at breakfast this morning. She had a lot of tips to share.

Summary: 

I will survive here, and I am excited about my time in Australia, right now I am just a bit confused about everything.

Love, 
Bella Pedersen

Jag är nån annanstans har ingen aning vart jag ska hur jag tar mig fram

  Look at how happy we are :) Hello my beloved people.  Interesting Events So I have moved into a new apartment over the holidays! It is way too beautiful for my budget and I still think that it is a bit surreal. Anyways, I have three new roommates who are all lovely, as you can see in the picture. The last two weeks have been a mixture of job searching and lots of funny activities! Outdoor cinema, balcony wine drinking, christmas baking, ice cream tasting, beach chilling, platform dancing, museum dancing, christmas market, shopping, running, silent disco restaurant bonding, late-night driving, and much more in a perfect mixture. I am having fun!  Special Moods  Happy moods. I am very happy. I am looking forward to the holidays. Even my therapist saw that.  Special Bonds My three new roommates, as seen in the picture, have become like a new little family in the last few days. We are all in the same situation, solo travelling, we have our own lives but we do some...

A guide to this blog

This picture is a representation of what I will miss these months. Hopefully, I will have a lot of things compensating for my lack of a white winter😉. Welcome to my blog!  To start off, I would like to say that I am very happy that you are interested in reading about my life in Australia. In the best of worlds, you will find this blog amusing and interesting! I have already decided on a brief structure for the posts in this blog, since that is just who I am. It goes like this:  1. The title will almost always be a short lyric from a song that sets the tone for that specific day. It can be a song that I love and listen to, or just a song that is connected to a specific event or mood. 2. A picture or a couple of pictures may be presented first, together with the date for the event. 3. The post will be divided into three smaller parts: "Interesting Events" (the concrete part), "Special Moods" (the fuzzy part), and "Special Bonds" (the social part).  Interest...
