Welcome, Blokes and Sheilas!

G'Day Readers:

I love Sydney. Enough said.

After doing a bunch of help exchanges and Couch Surfing stays over the past two months, I'm ready to settle down here in Sydney for, at the very least, the next three months. Let my newest adventure begin!

But first, some things you should know (or else you might be utterly confused):

1. I'll be working as a receptionist at a hostel right on Bondi Beach, about 20 min by bus outside the CBD.
2. I'll also be working as a waitress at a Mexican restaurant (perhaps the only Mexican restaurant in Sydney) in the Inner-West neighborhood of Glebe. Yeah, that's right--I've got TWO jobs. Hello, dinero.
   
3. Still relying on the kindness of strangers...Currently staying with an Australian named Julia and her wonderful parents Ed and Jane (both misplaced Brits who love British comedy and a delicious lamb roast)...
4. ...But moving into a 4-bedroom terrace house in the Surry Hills/Redfern/Haymarket area at the beginning of January! I'll be subletting the already furnished room of Isabelle, a fashion student (also British...they're everywhere) who will be visiting her family in  Dubai over summer. 
5. I'm in love with this city; I could stay here forever.
6. (Don't worry, Dad. I'll come home...eventually).

Soooooo READ ON. And please, do enjoy :).

Cheers,
Carlyn
