Brit lost in Melbourne

Hello everybody! It’s been a while since I have posted on my blog and I have so many new ideas and stories to share with you all!

To see more pictures of my travels take a look on my personal instagram @georgiiasheehan

So, where have I been? A bit all over really, but to start things off I have moved from the UK to Melbourne to study for 6 months, (craaaaaazy stuff) which was a totally spontaneous decision of mine but the spontaneity paid off. I have been over in Australia for just over a month now and loving every minute. Apart from the weather – incase you didn’t already know, Australia’s winter is UK’s summer! Meaning I had 2 weeks of lush sun and tanning on the beach and now, well, its fecking chilly at night! But hey I can’t complain.

Melbourne is a fab city where everything and everyone is constantly glowing. I have absolutely fallen in love. So I have put together a short list of everything I love about Melbourne so far! Since I’ve been here only a month there is so much more to see, so shall be posting about the top things to do in Melbourne soon.

1.       It is the most liveable city in the world (According to studies).

2.       We have our own dance move.

‘The Melbourne Shuffle’ – seriously cool

3.       Alleyways are nice, friendly areas to hang out.

In England these are often places one goes to down cheap beer or wine but here in Melbourne the alleyways are full of amazing graffiti art and independent boutiques and coffee shops. Google Hoiser lane!

4.       The ozzies abbreviate EVERYTHING.

Thongs are flipflops..apparently.

5.       Free trams.

6.       They have ‘Schooners’.

Like a 3 quarter pint of beer for those who are feeling a light drink but a bit more than a half a pint.

7.       Restaurants that have a pay what you feel policy.

8.       Australian’s are so friendly, sometimes a bit too much!

9.       Free yoga and running at Fed Square.

10.   You can get the other side of the city for $1.88 (students only of course).

11.   Some clubs are open for 2 days.

You can go into a nightclub on Friday night and come out Sunday morning. They even have sleeping rooms!

I could go on forever with this list and I’m pretty sure I have a lot more to add that I haven’t discovered yet! Basically in a nutshell Melbourne is great and everybody should move here..

BYEEEE x
