After weeks of discussions and wrestling with details we have arrived at a decision: We are moving to Australia for 1 year.
Spending a year in a different country has been on the table for years and years. It is a topic we have discussed on and off for as long as I can remember. Our trip earlier this year to Costa Rica was a bit of a trial run.
While we adore Costa Rica, we feel that at the end of the day the infrastructure lacks in regards to day to day for an entire year.
I have never been to Australia-nor has husband. Australia offers warm water and a tropical climate... we have our eyes on a small town on the beach called Byron Bay.... (South of Brisbane by an hour). The idea of getting around on a bicycle to do my shopping at the farmer's market makes me feel very happy.
Now, to wade through Australian visa paperwork...
OMG ben is going to freak.
you guys are my heros.
