So, this is the view I wake up to every. single. day now. Pretty sick right? I now live in Sydney in what they proclaim to be the worst accommodation with the best view, and to be honest the accommodation could be worse, so much worse but the view is nothing less that amazing. This is my new home, my new normal.

So this is surreal, I am currently sitting in Hong Kong airport with an hour or two to wait till I get my second flight to finish of my twenty two hours of travelling and get me to my desired designation of Sydney. If you didn't know I was going there, where have you been? I literally have shut up about the fact that I am in fact moving to Sydney for a year. How exciting!
So I have been travelling for about ten hours, yawn, and still have a solid twelve to go. For someone who claims that they can sleep anywhere, I am yet to sleep so hello serious jet lag and a very grumpy Ottilie.
This literally does not feel real, despite the fact I am half way across the world on my own, with a hand luggage which weighs more than a bag which I have checked onto the plane, walking round the airport literally feels like a workout. It feels like I will be home in a couple of weeks, I won't be I have a full 365 days to go and I CAN NOT wait for the adventures awaiting me. This is the fresh start I have wanted for so long.
Saying goodbye was weird, my emotions are weird, I cried but really I wasn't scared or worried at all. Seeing my parents shed a tear, is something which never fails to make me well up and saying goodbye to my twin sister, was one of the hardest things I have done and trying to keep it together nearly killed me. We have been together since birth, with the longest we have been apart being two weeks and now we have a full fifty two weeks to get through, in which she will be going through some huge changes and new things where I wont be there by her side. I know she will smash it, she always does and where we can't snuggle in bed and watch films together, trusty Skype will ensure we can stay in touch and with the constant watsapp messaging I will be missing out on nothing.
You don't really think about the fact that this is the last time in a year, because as I said it hasn't really hit me. I went through security gate, the point of no return and I pulled my shit together and got on with it. Something I pride myself on being very good at.
Bring on another twelve hours of travelling and I'll keep you updated on the flip side.

I have been such an awful blogger, I have completely deserted blogging for the last few days, almost a week but I have been so busy with work that I just haven't had the time. However I have set aside days to get blogging and photography done before I go, which is in fact two weeks today eek. This month I only have one advertiser, please get in touch if you would like to advertise next month, the silver and bronze packages are still available.

Yes, no change here another random post from Ottilie just rambling on. It seems that I just have a lot of thoughts and feelings that I want to share, or at least get down in a post. You may of noticed that my content hasn't been all that great over the last few weeks, well believe it or not I have been finishing off my A-Levels and as of 3:35 today I am finished and finally free. Free from school, revision and exams. The next chapter of my life starts as of tomorrow morning,  where I will be enjoying the first lie in of weeks and being able to do absolutely nothing and not feel guilty for it. I am so excited to put all of my energy into my blog, when I'm not working. I just want to blog, I have so many amazing things to test out and share with you, there is some seriously exciting content coming your way so please stay tuned.

I leave for Australia three weeks today, so I do not have an awful lot of time. What I intend on doing is taking a whole load of photos, in bulk which I can then use when I am out their. I guess there will be lots of travel related posts, lots more chatty, almost diary style posts as I really want to share to true experience with all of you. There is going to be a lot of shopping happening, as I currently own no shorts or nothing remotely hot weather appropriate (I am aware its winter when I arrive- I'm prepared for that).

Side note: I am looking for a camera, I want to sell mine and by another one within the next three weeks. All recommendations are welcome. It needs to be small, but take amazing photos something like the olympus pen but perhaps with a smaller price tag. However if you know of anyone selling an olympus pen please tweet me and let me know because I am desperate!

I had such an amazing tine at the Bloggers Ball and there will be a full post coming on that very soon, plus I have loads of goodies to try and share with you meaning even more exciting content. I just have so many ideas floating around, and in huge great lists on my phone, sticky notes, notepads everywhere. I am worried that I have too many ideas and that I won't be able to get them all done in the time I have, I will however try my best.

But for now, I want to enjoy being free before I am off to start my next adventure.
