Sydney

After all those months in Queensland my dream was definitely going to Sydney which it was my dream city since the first day I decided to go to Australia but Thanks god during Covid I stuck in QLD, after the road trip anyway I decided to go to Sydney, to spend there Christmas and NYE even if I was alone there whiteout knowing anyone but I wasn’t afraid to spend those holidays alone while working, even if everyone told me that I ll be hard for the work there I didn’t care about it I thought that I could make it.

ONE MONTH IN SYDNEY

DAY 22 – Thursday 31.12.2020

( Me before the fireworks at the Babylon Rooftop Bar )

I woke up around 12 am, I did the shower breakfast and then I get ready fo a lunch with Marnie that she pick me up ad we went to Bondi in a Chinese Restaurant and then she bring me back home. I hanged outfit and I went out for a drink before the mid night, I went at the Babylon Rooftop which is in the Westfield very nice I liked it definitely. And then I tried to find a spot to see the fireworks but it was literally impossible, everywhere was blocked by the police, was very scary and a weird situation but I found a little spot just outside the harbour, I didn’t saw the firework very well but I kind of see them which it was my main goal in Sydney for sure if it wasn’t Civid could be better but 2020 it was what it was and I’m happy that I made it on time to come to Australia and live all the things that I lived and all the new people and places that I’ve been. Thankful to be strong and healthy. 

DAY 22 – Friday 01.01.2021

I woke up very late because I couldn’t sleep the night before, I was very stress because after the fireworks the plan was leave Sydney but since I arrived here they closed the border so my choice was leaving Sydney without seeing anything and already pay the rent or staying and go later somehow. Just freak all morning and noon since I decided to go to the clinic to get tested to prove that I have no Covid at the airport. So that’s what’s happened I went to the hospital and I tried to get tested but it wasn’t possible so I went in the next days. And I decided to go back to the club, so I cover the shift of a girl for tonight and tomorrow and at 7 pm I went to Man’s Gallery it was quite a good nigh actually and got really drunk and then I apply fo private and I got the job so I went at the Meriton Suites in Bondi Junctions till 5 am, it was really easy and the guys were nice but I get over drunk I don’t even have a lot of memories.

DAY 23 – Saturday 02.01.2021

I woke up and I went to take the train to go to the dentist at 11 am because I was feeling a strong pain in the few past weeks. I found an Italian dentist which her studio is really far but it was worth it, I mean I feel the worse pain in my life and I was ting badly but then I feel definitely better, I come back home full of hanestetic which it was very a lot, I eat something and then I went to sleep a bit because at 7 pm I had to start my shift at the Club. It was a really quiet night and I was very tired but anyway I did and at 1 am I was already back in the bad to sleep.

DAY 24 – Sunday 03.01.2021

( Sunset at Dudley Page Reserve, Bondi ) 

I woke up kind of early and I went to do the Covid test in the clinic next where I live, I did it in the nose the test and was really painful I didn’t feel very well the days after actually, and in the noon neither but I walk around the neighbourhood and I did few photos just and I get ready to go out for a date with Marnie again, which the last time she didn’t want me to see her again because she discovered that I do private and then she texted me again Saturday and we organise to go out today together to watch the sunset. So she comes to pick me up around 6 pm and we went to Dudley Page Reserve which the sunset was extremely amazing and u could see all the city, absolutely the best view ever, it was very romantic and I liked her a lot, after the sunset we went at the house of her cousin in Coggee well it was everything fine until we stared to go around the city in the car with her cousin delivering drugs and drinking she start to get crazy, she wanted to invite to come over a girl for bumble and then she told me that she just wanna see my reaction well a lot of weird things then we come back home and we keep drinking and not only, and she become more weird all the time and she just wanted to understand what was my job and all those thing so the night wasn’t the best obviously but at least the sex was great.

DAY 25 – Monday 04.01.2021

The morning was the same actually because we didn’t sleep at all and we keep talking and fighting and having sex, till when she discovered messages with an other girl so she got crazy and she left me in the house of her cousin alone, so I stared to cry and I call her to come back, so she come back she pick me up we went in Kings Cross for a lunch together and then she comes to my room to sleep for a little bit because she didn’t sleep at all and she has to drive for and hour and I wanted to stay with her a bit even after all because I knew that I will never see her again. After she left I come back in my room and I slept all day basically because I was very tired and I met my new roommate from Chile and then I talk a bit with my mum because I was talking with her cousin that she lives near Sydney and my mum she always talks about her cousin that they were really close during their childhood, and after Chiarastella her cousin she moved with her mum in Australia and they never she each other again, so I decide that I will meet her tomorrow and I can call my mum to do a video call all together.

Then I come back to the hostel around 11 am to finished to prepared everything for the flight and while I was doing the luggage my friend Shila comes to my rooms telling me that she moved back in the hostel and I told her that I was just leaving that was king of sad but anyway was good because I had the chance to say to her good bye and she helped me with the luggage and to do the check out and we said good bye before I entered in Didi to go at the airport. My flight was at 1:55 pm with Jetstar so I got there on time I waited a bit while I was very anxious because it wasn’t possible go to Victoria at this time due to the Covid-19 because the found few cases in Sydney so it become and hotspot basically a red zone and Victoria closed the borders with NSW on the 1st of 2021, do I was stressed about it because I did a permit online but I didn’t know if it will be enough or not and I couldn’t waste a weekend doing the quarantine but anyway I get on the plane and praying.

Melbourne

That wasn’t the plane I wanted to stay in Sydney for more three months and then the last month in Australia spend it in Melbourne and travelling around but it wasn’t possible the things become complicate in Sydney for the job so I had to leave if I wanted to make money, I booked the flight to Melbourne even if I know it that they could force me to do the quarantine in a Hotel at my own expenses but I thought that with the border pass everything was fine which it wasn’t because I was coming from a Civid hotspot, Sydney was declared like that in December when I arrived because they found few cases in the Northern Beaches so they force me to do the Hotel quarantine once I get in Melbourne.

Road trip Australia 2021( VIC+QLD+WA+SA )

MARCH 17, 2021/ BCTRAVELBLOGGER/ EDIT

27 DAYS OF TRAVELLING

Everything happened earlier then what I planned due to the Covid lockdown happened in Melbourne, first I tried to escape in Adelaide then I went to Brisbane and Gold Coast for few days and then I went to visit my friend in Perth and then I visit Adelaide and I drove back to Melbourne passing by the Great Ocean Road.

( Rottnest Island, Wester Australia )

Well it didn’t really start as a road trip, well I was planning it of course but few weeks later probably. On the 12th of February precisely a year that I left Italy I receive a message from my boss in the noon that thee Club was closing at mid night and was staying close for at least the next five days due to new COVID-19 cases in the city. I freak out totally because it already happened to me once when I arrived in Sydney and I decided to stay but then to leave I had to do the quarantine so this time I wanna do the things differently. So I immediately pack all my things and I wanted to go to Perth but of course WA was the first state close the border for VIC and then I wanted to go to Canberra but I couldn’t buy the ticket and was very expensive even if the boss of the club there told that I could go there without any problem the same night but was impossible for me buy the flight ticket so I just order Uber and in the car I bought the ticket to Adelaide. And after I planned the road trip step by step because I didn’t know what I could and what I could’t do as usual due to the virus because at that time there were few hotspots around.

DAY 1 – Friday 12.02.21

( Night at: Stamford Plaza, Adelaide )

( Stamford plaza room 527, Adelaide )

On the 12th of February precisely a year that I left Italy I woke up in Melbourne at the Hostel Village where I was living, lazy to go to work in the evening. Actually a bit sick as well maybe with a bit of fewer, I canceled the appointment at the laser clinic because I wasn’t feeling well. I come back to sleep and at 2 pm I woke up I found a message from my manger that told me that the club was closed till Thursday due to the new Covid cases in the city so I panicked as usual and from the previous time I’ve learn on my skin that I don’t have to wait, because in Sydney I wanted to spend there the new year so I stayed there and then I cost me the quarantine in Melbourne once I arrived there. So I didn’t want to do the same and I wanted to keep travelling and working since my visa is almost expired. Then I talked with the guy at the reception I could leave most of my thing there so I did and I just put few random things in my big yellow luggage that has to be under 30 kg. I thought to go to Canberra but I couldn’t book the flight and I was already 4 pm so I decided to go to the airport and book a flight from there. So I started calling a Uber, invece I get in the car the driver asked me which terminal and I didn’t know which one, because the Tullamarine airport in Melbourne is pretty big. So I just tried to book a random flight which it was to Adelaide, I thought that was fine and the border will close at mid night the flight was at 20:55 pm so supposed to be good. I landed in Adelaide at 21: 45 pm, and there the police started the control. I did the pass but was declined because I wasn’t an essential traveller. I tried to talk with them but they said that I couldn’t be in Adelaide at the moment but the airport was closing so they deport me at the Hotel quarantine in Stamford Plaza Adelaide which I spent the night there.

I did it. All this happened after lunch and I was very tired and over stressed but I packed my thing and I called the reception to book me a taxi to go to the airport. So the taxi come I was escorted by the police till the airport and also inside the police woman waited the flight with me and there was also an other woman. The flight was at 16:50 pm. I was very nervous because I wasn’t sure that I’m Brisbane they will allow me to enter. Probably it was one of my worse flight, over stress. Once I landed in Brisbane around 7:10 pm I was almost shaking I went to claim the luggage I took my big back and then I saw few police man. I had to lie. They asked me if I was in Adelaide for more then a month and I stayed “ yes, a month and half “ and the police officer let me go.

I was very tired actually just because I don’t used to woke up that early so I slept all the two hours on the bus. Then at 9 am I bore on the boat to the Island and once I get there I tried to find a solution to rent a car because I haven’t done it before, at the ferry terminal there Budget Car Rental so I rent the car from them a Kia Cerato which is a good car but probably not the ideal one because for the island probably is better a 4×4 one I get the car I went to the IGA at Penneshaw which is over priced but I bought something to eat for lunch, then I start the tour of the island. The first stop that I did was in Pennington Bay which was amazing blue ocean loved it and then I head to Seal Bay which you need to buy a ticket but is totally worth it because you see all the Sea Lions on the beach sleeping a wonderful scenario. Then I went to Vivonne bay but was literally impossible stay on the beach actually because was over windy so I left after few minutes I couldn’t even had a lunch there. Then I proceeded to the Flindes Chase National Park which it was very beautiful but unfortunately was also the pet of the island that was debated by the bushfire last year so the nature wasn’t the best. I went first at the Admirals Arch which is totally incredible and then I went to the Remarkable Rocks which isn’t something that wonderful but yes I liked it. The I had and issued because the cable of the phone wasn’t an USB so I couldn’t charge the phone and I didn’t know where to go to sleep so I decided to head north quickly before the sunset. I arrived at The Rockpool Cafe where there was a camping so I stopped there for the night trying to find a charger, and well I could’t so I just eat something wash myself and get on the car to sleep.

I decided to do a tour at the Barossa Vally with Backpackers deal.

At 9 am the bus tour comes to pick me up at the YHA Central Hostel and from there the day tour started off at Château Yaldara: home to what is undoubtedly some of the finest Shirazes as well as magnificent and well-preserved period architecture.

From Chateau Yaldara we drive through the picturesque vineyards of the Barossa Valley, and crossing Jacob’s Creek. The tour then arrives at the historic township of Tanunda where there’s time to wander up the high street and explore the quaint little shops or enjoy a coffee. As one of the best getaways in Adelaide, our next stop is the renowned Peter Lehmann winery. Then our group will enjoy an exclusive structured wine tasting hosted in the beautiful Eight Songs room within their cellar door. Here you’ll be given the opportunity to sample some of the Barossa’s internationally acclaimed vintages. Peter Lehmann’s is also our venue for lunch, where you will be treated to an exquisite Weighbridge platter of cheeses, olives, the region’s finest meats, and assorted vegetables accompanied by freshly baked bread. After lunch we had to Lamber winery founded by Americans with all the vineyards ecological and very tasty wine and then the last one of the day was the Wolf Blass.

But it was basically impossible because all the car were booked and the price increased a lot so I didn’t know what to do anymore my plan changed again because I really wanted to see the twelves Apostles but it seems impossible. The only chance is book a bus to go back to Melbourne and next week do a day tour to the twelve Apostles. So I couldn’t figured it out anything and I come back to sleep a little bit. Then before 8 pm I went to work at Crazy Horse and I worked there till 5 am.

Then I went out for a lunch at the Luigi Delicatessen it was a really lovely lunch which I totally needed after all this organisation that looks impossible. After I come back in the Hostel to sleep a little bit and then before the sunset I went to the Fringe to eat a Fish and Chip by myself and see what this festival was about because everyone was talking about it and yes it was pretty nice good vibes but could be better if I was with friends after I come back to the Hostel to sleep.

( Botanical Garden, Adelaide )

I woke up pretty early I did the breakfast at the hostel and then I went for a walk to the botanical garden, it was very nice I like it and I walk pretty a lot and I found a solution to come back to Melbourne because a car to rent has been available with Jucy Car Rental so I can leave tomorrow Adelaide and be in Melbourne Thursday to work, do all those km by myself I was a bit afraid that I couldn’t do it but then I realise that was the only chance so I could visit the last things around Adelaide and I can see the twelve apostles also, that is something that I really wanted to see it. After the botanical garden I come back to the hostel I changed and I went to The Moseley Beach Club to enjoy the last night in Adelaide and almost the end of this amazing month of travelling around Australia.

The second stop was at the Down the rabbit hole Wines, such a lovely atmosphere I totally loved it and enjoyed I could stayed there all day but I had to keep driving till Victor Harbour that was also a place that I really wanted to visit, and from there I took a walk till Granite Island to relax a bit and than I drove to Meningie and from there I drove to Coorong National Park which it was pretty nice during the sunset but was very in the middle of nowhere without any Cravan Park to sleep during the night but well I keep driving during the night but after one hour I realise that maybe I couldn’t do it till the next gasoline spot so I got very afraid an I was in the middle of nowhere alone so I decided to come back in Meningie which I was sure that there was a gasoline station and I had enough gasoline to come back there even if I still didn’t know where to sleep. So I drove for one hour or more back to Meningie I couldn’t find Caravan Park open because it was too late obviously so I decided to sleep in a random Car Park next to the sea where there were two other Camper. I was a bit afraid to get a fined but I could’t do anything else, I was very tired and exhausted.

After driving all morning I stopped for a lunch at The Passage in Port Fairy where I did a little break and then I keep driving because I wanted to see the Twelve Apostles before the sunset.

It was a nice month of break which I kind of need it because I was really stressed about the job and to emotionally unready to a full immersion of working after the struggle in Sydney and the distance relationship break up so was better like this and I really enjoyed Perth and Adelaide and it was also really nice be back in Brisbane, too emotional actually.

But when I went to work I realised that there were few new Covid cases in the city but I didn’t really panicked because I thought that we will be in lockdown only for 5 days as it happened in February, when I arrived I work I checked my phone and at 6 pm the State of South Australia already closed the border with Victoria but I worked like usual well knowing that might be the last night but for a short lockdown. Anyway with the gym I was more tired then usual so I didn’t even wanted to think about escaping northings like that so I just thought to do the lockdown and that’s it. When I come after work on Wednesday I couldn’t sleep at all I started to panicked and just checking the news since it comes up that Thursday 27th of May at mid night we were going in a lockdown of seven days which for me was a lot I didn’t expected. Anyway Thursday I went to work till mid night but I wasn’t in the mood at all actually I was really sad an depressed and I left even before I couldn’t work at all.

WEEK from 31.05 to 06.06 ( Fourth lockown )

Monday I woke up I eat something and then I went out for a walk at the Southbank promenade, but today I started to panicked a lot because the Covid cases are increasing and I didn’t wanted to lose an other week of work because it means less money and I wanted to have same holidays for my birthday that is in a month. So I decided to go to Sydney which they really didn’t closed the borders but is like February I need an exemption so the only solution is if I’m coming from Tasmania ad example and I’m transiting in the Melb airport but in the declaration form if u lie you have to pay a high fine, anyway I bought the flight from Hobart to Melb and from Melb to Sydney but I was very afraid. After the walk I called my mum and once I arrived at home I pack everything for the day after, then I went to sleep but I couldn’t at all I was to anxious for the day after. At the end I was to afraid so I decided to not do it even if they were extend the lockdown for an other week. Tuesday I was more depressed then the da after I went to the Victoria Markets then I did a bit of groceries and I cooked the dinner and watch tv series all night basically. Wednesday when I wok up the day was really sunny and nice so I decide to take a walk around till the Alexandra Garden and further to the Botanical Garden till evening then relax and sleep, eve if I was sure that the lockdown is extend I was trying to keep calm even if I was definitely desperate and I was thinking all day a way to escape but I couldn’t find anything useful. Thursday the lockdown was extended for an other week, and that freaks me out a lot actually but was a sunny day and we could go further then 5 km from the home so I went with the tram to Elwood Beach which it was amazing and I chilled at the Point Ormod Lookout and in the main time a man answer to my post on Facebook because when I was panicking I asked if someone was planning to leave Melbourne and this man has a transport pets business which I can go with his company next Wednesday to Sydney which it would be perfect for me. So then I come back home and finally I was happy and I relaxed all night watching tv series. Friday I was a bit tired and annoyed because I didn’t really have friends that I can spend time with them so I was feeling a bit lonely and Nazaret was with her boyfriend so I just stayed a home organising the weekend in an Airbnb in the city by myself just to chill and relax in a better place then the Hostel. Saturday same I just stayed in the hostel arranging photos, writing, cooking and watching tv series. Finally Sunday I woke up happy because I decided to rent a nice apartment in the city for two night only for my self which I could relax and enjoy a nice atmosphere instead of staying in the hostel with crazy people only, so I did the check in at 2 pm then I went to buy a bit of alcohol and food and then I went home relaxing I ordered a lot of pizzas and it was really nice totally enjoyed my own company in the apartment at the 51th floor at CBD Sky-high 462 Elizabeth Street.

Monday was so good wake up in my own apartment with an amazing view relaxing and all day I just took photos listen to music and then in the evening I did a really nice dinner I ordered a lot of sushi and enjoyed the evening by myself, then Tuesday unfortunately was already the time to check out in the morning and I left to go back to the Hostel pack everything to leave Wednesday morning. Because the lockdown was extended again and again so I decided to find a solution to leave which I was very lucky because I post an announce on Facebook an luckily a random man answer me and he told me that he could help me because he has a company of Pet transportation around Australia and every Wednesday they do Melbourne to Sydney which for me was basically perfect because I try to do the lockdown for the first time in my life it was horrible I was too anxious so I desperately try to escape and I was afraid and everything it was definitely too much. I was so blessed that I found this man willing to help me to escape and making a fake border permit to cross the border and go to Sydney. So Wednesday at 4:30 am I was ready to escape from Melbourne second lockdown 2021.

In fact Thursday morning everywhere was written that an other lock down was happening ASAP so I went to the club I took my stuff then I went to the bank and I didi all the last things and then when at 5 pm the snap lockdown of 5 days was announced and my boss texted me as well I took and Uber immediately to the airport, it was pretty late actually and the orders were closing t mid night, when I arrived at the airport there were no more flights available unfortunately I tried to find something but was very hard the only flight that I found was the one to Hobart very expensive but well it was the only chance to leave the city.

The following days I’ve been working even if there were few restrictions, Monday Tuesday Wednesday it wasn’t too great but still I’m grateful that I’ve been working but then when I woke up on Thursday totally in hangover from the day before I realised that the government just set a lockdown the Sixth one in Victoria and the Sixth than I’m doing since I’m in Australia, I just come back to Melbourne last week and here we are an other lockdown unbeivable the hunger inside of me was too much the frustration because I really wanted earn some money but looks impossible with those lockdowns so I was feeling very bad, I thought that was the time to go back to Italy I was really thinking about it but then I though that I should try one more time before leaving. So Thursday I was very depressed, Friday as well I did nothing just stayed by myself and they to think about all the things that I have to do I was very depressed but what I could do ? nothing it was too much psychologically. Saturday I felt a bit better even if I absolutely didn’t know what to do but I decided to stay in Australia I stayed with my roomate Carolina all day, we had a dinner together and then in the evening we stayed downstairs in the reception in the company of the other people in the hostel and then we went to sleep around 4 am because for me was really hard get out of the work routine. Sunday Carolina cooked for me the lunch and then we spend all noon together talking and all the evening eating and around the hostel. So the first three days of the lockdown was really hard I had to decided what to do first if I wanna leave and go back to Italy or stay in Australia, after decide if I should stay in Melbourne or escape to Adelaide. Even if it was really hard I decided to stay one more week in Melbourne in

Adelaide

THREE MONTHS IN ADELAIDE

( West Beach Adelaide with Barbara and Natalia my Brazilian colleagues )

I totally unexpected that because after escaping from the lockdown in July 2021 while I was living in Melbourne, just after my birthday I thought that I could could go back to Melbourne and everything was going normal, so even if there were few restrictions and the city still an hotspot I didn’t care about it and I just went back more than happy to work again but unfortunately the restrictions did lift when I expected and after few days actually an other lockdown suddenly was announced which I couldn’t even go to get my stuff at the club and nothing. I had a big depression week this was my sixth lockdown since I’m in Australia but anyway I decided to stay a bit long and keep trying to work in Australia. It was a very hard situation because they granted me the visa till February and than in Italy my mum didn’t wanted to do the vaccine so she could’t go to work and I was thinking to stay longer in Australia so I could help her in case she can’t work. 

So I contacted again the guy that is running the pet transport company that I went with him to Sydney during the first lockdown in Melbourne in June and I asked them when there were going to Adelaide and I had to wait one week in Melb so I decided to wait a bit do a week of lockdown and then move to Adelaide and trying to stay longer in Australia, and I want to try to get more money before leaving Australia. It was very hard find the energy again to keep going move again, new city, new people, it was very hard because I really wanted to stay in Melbourne but I had to do it I had no choice. During the time in Adelaide I was very lucky I could enjoyed it if I wanted but I wasn’t good with my metal health. I arrived in Adelaide on the 16 of August the day after at stated to work again at the club and the week later I met Jemma an Australian girl that she used to work in Melbourne and we discovered to have few mutual friends and she invested me to go to live with her instead of staying at the hostel.

JANUARY 6, 2022/ BCTRAVELBLOGGER/ EDIT

( Timor sea, Darwin )

After three months in Adelaide I was very tired and exhausted I did twelve weeks of working in a row with no breaks and for my mental health was very hard. It was very hard leave my home and my routine but I have to do it because I wasn’t feeling very well mentally after work I was always crying and feeling anxhious and I was attract with one my my colleague because I had feelings with her so the best solution was leaving for sure. At the same time I wanted to go back to Melbourne but the restriction and the new rules due to the Covid were worst than before but I wanted to bother during the Christmas time because everyone says that’s the best time of the year to make money and than I wanted to go back to Italy for Christmas because it’s almost two years that I haven’t been there. 

After three months in Adelaide of hard work and trying to feeling better after the lockdown in Melb that I had suddenly leave the city and once again change all my plans due to the Covid. I decided to go to Darwin to explore the things that I haven’t visit the last time that I was there and try to work there as well. So basically a little holiday / relax trip before going back to Melb to work.

After three months in Adelaide and two weeks of holidays in Darwin I’ve decided to try to come back to Melbourne, even if at that time a bit complicated due to the COVID situation, the city reopened everything there is no more lockdown but a lot of things changed and without a COVID passport vaccination you couldn’t enter in any venues, shop, bars, restaurants, clubs for everything needs the COVID vaccine passport which I don’t have it. I decided to risk to take the plane and go back, do again the interview at my work place hoping that I could go back and planning a plan B-C-D in case I couldn’t go back to work in the same club. I didn’t wanna go to Adelaide again, I just left and was hard the last month I’ve been really depressed and sad so I thought that go back in Melbourne and focus on money could be the best solution for myself and my metal ealth. But it wasn’t. I changed and I didn’t wanna money at that time I wanted enjoy life find friends go out, maybe find a love and start a new life dreaming about Los Angeles. So I decided to leave Australia I did my time there it was enough I make money that’s was the plan but no I need to move on and keep living and experiment.
