( Darwin sunsets )
It was very hard going back to Australia like, first I thought that I would never go back that’s what my thought when I left the country for Christmas 2021 but then when I was travelling I realised how much I was missing working and making money and it wasn’t a pleasure anymore travelling I just wanted a bit of stability I guess and the idea of starting to work in Italy was even worse due to the crazy low salaries and plus living in Milan I would be really expensive and going to Switzerland with my ex was an option but well she didn’t want to actually so I just went back to Australia for few months. Plus one of my dream at has always been visit New Zealand and do a trip during Christmas so definitely going back in Australia could’ve been the best option for me at the moment.
Melbourne 2022
It was a hard decision going back to Australia but after 4 months of travelling I realised that I missed my life and work wise America wasn’t the best option so I thought to go back to Australia since I still have a visa to use and after the summer in Italy I didn’t know what to do actually. I wanted to move to Switzerland with the girl that I was going out with but she wasn’t ready to live together so I thought going to Australia could be the best option even if I knew that I wasn’t spending the Christmas vacation with my family and I had to stay away till April 2023.
