Chortlepuss Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Ah jakes just a friend, we got chatting on the backpacker Facebook group and spoke to each other since summer. Then when I got to Australia we phoned each other everyday or 2. We get on well so we decided to try travelling together because neither of us are fans of the party scene type thing and he's got a van now. Going to travel to Brisbane together and then maybe go our own ways or travel the rest. Just going to see how we get on Are you coming to Brissie?

pommekate Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 I have loved reading this thread. I saw your posts before you left the UK and suddenly thought last night i wonder how you were getting on, I read the whole thread but then my battery went flat. I think you are pretty amazing travelling around and all these memories you are creating, some good and some bad. Never the less these are all memories that you will look back on. I know lots of people have been giving you advise and some criticise them for giving it but I recently flew back to the UK for a 3 week holiday and the advise i was given on here helped me greatly. i laughed when I read your post and thought wow she is going to Melbourne, then the next page was just booked my flight to Perth. Then to Bali, but it kept me in suspense because I knew the next page you might be somewhere completely different. Enjoy your travels, your posts are far from boring and now I am sounding like a stalker! Enjoy your travels I have travelled the east coast from Port Douglas to Melbourne. Your honesty and saying things how you see it is so endearing. One of my friends managed to travel around Australia not paying for any hostels by house sitting and looking after people's pets. One houses was a mansion in Bondi overlooking the ocean, she stayed there 5 weeks rent free and had to feed their cat and two dogs. She did this all around Australia and stayed in some amazing properties. keep the updates coming you have got me hooked now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quokka2005 Posted December 30, 2015 Author Share Posted December 30, 2015 It's only for 2 or 3 weeks though, I feel guilty about wasting someone's time for only that amount. I wouldn't feel as bad through a agency. Yeah chortle we're coming to Brisbane. We might go our separate ways at that point. Just depends if I want to strangle him by then and if we need to find work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quokka2005 Posted December 30, 2015 Author Share Posted December 30, 2015 Chance are, he may wish to strangle you i don't think he's into that 50 shades of grey type stuff. haha only joking! Yeah most likely, especially when he experiences my cooking. I'm really tempted to buy a proclaimers cd to wind him up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My threads been really boring recently but hopefully it'll liven up a bit once I get to Perth/cairns. Yeah that day I honestly didn't know if I was going to Melbourne or Perth, my mum was really surprised when I told her I was in Perth. I did say I was probably going to go but she thought in a few days. I don't really regret not going to Melbourne because I love Perth and I've enjoyed my time down south too. Looking forward to going back to Perth for a while and then seeing more of Australia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rossmoyne Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Stacey have you seen this backpacker bus ticket..... it is a jump on - jump off ticket and they go around the south west of WA. http://backpackingaround.com/aus/ad/easyriderbp/tour1.htm If you wanted to see the south west before you came up to Perth it might be an option for you.

I don't think smart blokes have necessary one track minds. When a bloke doesn't validate desirability by not 'coming onto them' often the reverse is true.

Quokka2005 Posted January 5, 2016 Author Share Posted January 5, 2016 I've been panicking about money because I have to spend so long in Perth but I might have found a hostel that will let me work a few hours a day for my accommodation. Won't find out till next week though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
