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.
