As of today I have exactly 30 days left until I depart for Dublin. The thought brings mixed feelings to me. In a way I am happy to be commencing another journey in my life, on the other hand it makes me incredibly sad to be leaving a life I love so much. I've gotten used to living in Sydney and fallen in love with this city.Writing these lines brings tears to my eyes. I have been feeling a bit low for the past few weeks. I guess reality is starting to sink in.. I am not going to stop at this topic for longer, otherwise I will cry on my keyboard :). So to make the most of what I have left I am planning a two-week holiday with my mum up and down East coast of Australia for the last two weeks before heading back to cold Europe.
The plan is to fly down to Melbourne - visit Great Ocean Road and then head up to Cairns for five days to once again enjoy Great Barrier Reef, Daintree rainforest and Cape Tribulation. Before this trip however, my mum will spend a week in Sydney while I finish up at work at the end of January.
On another note, I have managed to get a phone interview with a company in Dublin next Thursday. Fingers crossed something good comes out of it and if yes I hope I won't have to start working immediately (although I have no money haha) as I would like to spend some time at home in Estonia. I am dreading the idea of having four weeks of holidays per year only though. I got used to the great life of taking months off here in Straya! It will be difficult to cope I bet. I will definitely miss it. I am not sure what happens next. I could still pursue an Australian skilled migrant visa but that requires some effort and a bit of savings, so perhaps in a year's time it could be achievable. I will have to think hard about it once I get back to Dublin - in terms of whether I want to settle in Ireland or attempt to move back here? I will leave this question unanswered.
