Day 1: Leaving home and my initial plan

The time has finally arrived boys and girls! Today I left home for the last time ahead of my flight to Australia tomorrow and I thought I'd start a blog to keep a record of what's going on.

I'll do my best to keep it interesting but I haven't written anything like this before so constructive criticism welcome!

LEAVING HOME
What a shit day. Saying goodbye to the rents seems almost routine now having been away to Uni so many times, but a two-parent platform send off in the rain is a poignant reminder of the gravity of this undertaking! (man can use big words n wot) 

Nevertheless I'm glad the goodbyes are
nearly over - I've had goodbye meals, drinks and nights out in Nottingham, Sheffield, Harrogate, Knaresborough and Leeds over the past months so I'm sick of them! Why do people have to love me so much?! HAHA shutup. 

Now all that is left is to see a few people in LANDAN where I'm staying tonight then I'll be on a flight heading for Hong Kong at 12:30 tomorrow afternoon!

All I'm taking for (up to) a year! Apart from the bag in my right hand which contains bevs (cuff me)

Final selfie with the house! #bishbashbosh #heynicetrim


CURRENT PLAN
Hong Kong for 2 nights with the rest of the group flight then onto Sydney where I'm going to stay until early 2015 so that I can settle in, get a job, make some pals (ambitious, I know), have a BBQ on the beach on Xmas day and see the NYE fireworks!
