As I sit in my apartment in Brisbane, it's a beautiful evening. A calm 24 degrees C. Meanwhile in Freiburg it's -4C! Thats what Apple weather says anyway. I'm travelling into a totally different world tomorrow and I am filled with anticipation and excitement!
I leave Brisbane at 9pm tomorrow evening with a 14 hour flight into Dubai. I'm not the biggest fan of long haul flights but at least there is a shining light at the end of the tunnel!
My journey to Germany has filled my mind with thoughts of the possibilities and endless opportunities that I will have once I arrive in Europe. I thought I'd start writing a blog to keep family and friends up to date with how I'm going while I'm away, but also for myself as a journal of my travels.
First and foremost I will be chasing results on the bike but I will also be looking to educate myself by learning a second language. I look forward to the challenges that this will present but it is definitely something I've always wanted to do. I am also super excited to travel to Hungary in May and meet my family for the first time. I can't even begin to imagine what this is going to be like.
Well, its time for my last meal with my family in AUS before I pack up and set off!
Auf wiedersehen.
