Moving Abroad

February 2, 2017 by alice 9 Comments

2017 is not just the year I turn 30, but also my seventh year as a Londoner. To say that time has flown would be an understatement, but in reality I’ve been talking about leaving London for the longest time. I love London, it will always be where I’m from, but right now it’s not the place for me to be.

In three months I’ll be moving to a country I’ve never visited, to live in a city where I have almost no friends. I’ll be putting my life in two suitcases and leaving the only country I’ve ever really known to go on a crazy adventure, to Australia.

I almost can’t express how excited I am, but I’m scared too. Leaving your job, friends, family and home behind to head into the unknown is pretty daunting but I honestly feel like the stars have aligned for me and I’m heading there with a hopeful heart.

I’ll be heading out on a Working Holiday Visa and will be living in Melbourne. Whilst I do want to travel whilst I’m there, I’m primarily going to experience life in a new city and not to be a back packer, so I’ll be looking to get a job in my current industry and putting my roots down in Melbourne. I’m lucky to be heading out there with my wonderful boyfriend so I won’t be alone and will have someone there to hold my hand, show me the ropes and get rid of the spiders.

My blog is likely to change quite a bit (for a start I’ll be losing all my PR connections), but in all honestly I feel like a change is due anyway. I’m sure it’s not gone unnoticed that my content is sporadic at the best of times, I’m just not as inspired as I used to be. I’d love to blog my journey out to Australia – from getting ready for a move abroad to life as an expat – as well as creating more fashion, interior and lifestyle content.

So now that the news is out there, there will no doubt be some more Australia related content as I edge closer to moving day (May 2017). If you’ve lived in Australia, done a move abroad or have any advice for me – I’d love to hear from you!

    Wish you all the best to your new adventure! I did similar moves a couple of times myself (although my destination was UK) and although it is scary and difficult at times, it is also an amazing experience!

    Have fun, make friends and live your life to the fullest!
