Whitsunday Islands Sailing
Beautiful mix of Blues and Greens near Gold Coast
Surf and City in Surfer's Paradise
Hidden Inland beach on Frasier Island Its been a little over a year since I left my home in Minnesota and embarked on a journey, which has led me to Beijing. But before Beijing, there was Oz. It seems like so long ago since i was there with my good friend Chris, I guess time flys! I got on my flight in LA, popped some NyQuil, downed a glass of Red Wine and 9 hours of un-interrupted sleep later I woke up to "ding" please fasten your seat belts and prepare for landing! I sleep great on flights. I landed in Sydney and met up with Chris. We then traveled up the East Coast of Oz stopping in Byron Bay, Gold Coast, Surfers Paradise, Brisbane and Airley Beach. We did all that in 3 weeks. It wasn't enough time at all, but we made the most out of it. We also met up with 2 of our other friends whom we met in Sweden. We all studied in the same program in Vaxjo. It was such a great time. I enjoyed Byron Bay the best. It was a nice beach town that was a little quiet but had good vibes. Sydney was also great. I got the chance to go sailing for the first time when we went to Airley Beach. We went on a 3 day 3 night sailing excursion in the Whitsunday Islands. It is said to be some of the best sailing in the world, when it isn't raining!!! The first day was dry, however, the following days of sailing we were completely soaked! Nonetheless, it was an amazing experience and the group of people we went with made it the best we could! It couldn't have been better and I decided I love sailing. Hopefully it can be a hobby some day....
