It's only a week before I head off to my first ever overseas adventure! I have never traveled outside of Australia before (please note I am 37) and my view of the world has the potential to change considerably upon my return. I'm excited by the prospects of how it could change my creative outlook and how it could spark a new inspirational avenue that I have never discovered before.
I am feeling this because being a FNQ girl (far north queensland girl) I was tempted to the bright lights of Brisbane, which changed my life in a new direction. It was in Brisbane that I was tempted by the bright creative lights of Melbourne in which I now reside in such a beautifully creatively entrenched city. (mind you brisbane has changed alot since I last resided there)!
And although my 'European Adventure' is short but oooh so sweet, I can't help but feel it will feed me with all those daydreamed fantasies of what a creatively drenched world would look like.
For my own self development I'm going with a photographic challenge of 'something' (I won't give away the details just yet). But I hope to return with a little something to share with these 'never been overseas eyes'.
I'm so excited and scared at the same time!

Aaah just let it all happen and enjoy!!
(I am 46 and have never been to your part of the world, yet no one seems to bother!!).
You are going to have such an amazing time - can't wait to hear all about it!!
It will be wonderful! I've only been to London and Paris, but I still think about that trip - and all the goodness! Plenty of fuel for dreams! Your secret project sounds great - bet you'll find some fun ones!
You are going to have SUCH a fabulous time. Remember that whatever happens is grist to your mill - eventually ;-)
Those are two cities, that even at their worst, give you a feel for a culture and way of life that you will continue to ponder upon for the rest of your life.
I'm anxious to hear about your secret project when you get back!
Enjoy your trip. I love Paris it is such a wonderful place. Wish I was going too.
Me too Angela, I've heard such lovely things about you xx
I am so jealous!!!
How exciting! I cant wait to see the photo project you've set for yourself. I will be doing the same thing within the next 6 months, it will be my first trip out of oz too and I can't wait!! I wish you all the best.
I am so excited on your behalf , having never left Australia either - and I am older than you!!!
Can't wait to see and read all about it.
Wow... what a huge excitement in your life! Have a great trip over - can't wait to see your photographic challenge!
But remember to put the camera down occasionally and just soak it all up.
I'm so looking forward to sharing the experience with you via your photographic challenge Angela.
Enjoy your trip! I am very jealous. You will have such a great time!
PS Another NQ/FNQ girl here too! The bright lights of Canberra are the only ones that appealed to me, but the brighter, craftier lights of Melbourne are sometimes like a siren's call ...
How very exciting! I hope the trip is everything you hope for. Bon voyage!
You are going to have the best time. Enjoy!
You're going to love it!
Please tell me there's room in your suitcase?

how wonderful for you - im sure you'll get the wonderlust bug...have a great time..explore, observe and have a FAB time!!
Oh wow, I'm so excited for you. I just stumbled across your blog and can tell that its going to be a treat already. I can't wait to find out where you're going, we spent last summer traveling through Europe and it was truly amazing. Mostly amazing because you get to speak in an accent and say things like 'bellisimo!' and not feel silly.
