One year away from England

by Gregory Brine

I think today it finally sunk in that I’ve been away from home for one year. But it wasn’t how I expected it to happen. It was actually in a dream that I saw one of my beloved cats, which got me thinking. And I think it’s actually given me my first taste of home sickness… I think it’ll pass, but I’m just surprised it’s taken this long to come on.

So, how’s it been. Well, I think that I’ve changed a fair bit. A little more confident, a little more outgoing, and a little more worldly wise - it’s amazing how people’s ears prick up when you mention you’ve spent some time backpacking.

I’ve met some great people along the way. But something that’s really getting to me at the moment is the way lots of my friends are leaving at the moment. It seems like I’m going to a leaving drink once a week at least. It’s not a nice feeling, I can assure you.

So what next? Do I intend to head home or perhaps carry on. Lets just say, that I think I’ll be in Sydney for quite a while yet, and after that… Well, we’ll see what happens. Perhaps I’ll finally get around to learning Spanish and head to South America. Or perhaps it’ll be the easier option of heading to the USA for a while. Who knows.

But I do know I’ve really enjoyed the last year, and I just hope the next year is just as good.
