Soon

Me revoilà pour un dernier post avant le grand départ. Dans deux semaines mon avion décollera direction Brisbane, direction la famille Truong!

L'organisation du voyage a bien avancé et l'excitation du départ progresse de jours enjours.


Depuis mon premier récit, j'ai réussi l'épreuve pratique du permis de conduire, du premier coup yeah!;-) une bonne chose de faite! Bon il restera l'apprentissage de la conduite à gauche, pas forcément évident, mais je m'efforcerai de montrer à Young que toutes les femmes ne sont pas dangereuses au volant! ;-)

Je parlais d'économies, et bien malgré les soldes on y arrive quand même, on tient bon! Economies possibles grâce à une première expérience dans la vente avec un job de conseillère de vente au Bon Marché (grand magasin parisien).
Et en plus d'un salaire intéressant, on y croise des personnalités françaises (Jean Dujardin, Marion Cotillard, Alain Chabat, François Cluzet, Laetitia Casta, Audrey Tautou, Carole Bouquet) et on y fait de belles rencontres parmi les collègues.

Sinon d'un point de vue climatique, alors que l'Australie souffrait de canicule et de feux de forêt, Paris se couvrait d'un beau manteau blanc, l'ambiance des sports d'hiver sans quitter la capitale c'est plutôt sympa! J'en ai profité pour prendre de jolies photos du parc près de chez moi. Mais il me tarde malgré tout de goûter à tes températures plus agréables.





En tout cas une chose n'a pas changé, je suis toujours aussi pressée de partir, de connaître toute la famille, de découvrir ce magnifique pays, même si je dois bien l'avouer, l'excitation se mêle à une certaine appréhension.

C'est un grand chamboulement, quitter sa famille, ses amis, son pays, difficile de ne pas ressentir un peu de stress. Mais à la seule idée de vivre une belle aventure, l'inquiétude s'envole et je ne souhaite qu'une seule chose...être déjà là bas!

Alors voilà un post beaucoup moins long que le précédent, je vous l'accorde, un petit résumé de mes derniers mois parisiens avant de décoller le 19 février prochain.
Le billet et le visa en poche, il ne me reste plus qu'à faire ma valise, dire au revoir à mes proches et dans deux semaines je serai à l'autre bout du monde!

Busy, busy, busy - but a lot of fun!

G'day Mate!

There was a lot going on since I arrived! After Jordan left us, Ai-Vy and Kien-Nhu stayed with me at home from Monady to Wednesday and were going to childcare on Thursdays and Fridays. So there was a lot of time for fun activites and excursions!

One day we went to the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary together with a group of other aupairs and their kids. The kids catched up with each other immediately even if they were not even all the same age and had a day full of fun and cute animals! We saw koalas (who would have expected that?!;)), kangaroos, crocodiles, lizards, sheeps, horses, little chicken, snakes, cassawory and we feeded rainbow lorikeets...

Patting the kangaroos in the Koala Park...

Another day we went to South Bank for a swim and took the ferry, we went to the GOMA (Gallery Of Modern Art) and the State Library, we visted the Botanical Garden and the Roma Street Parklands, we went to feed the pelicans in Clontarf, to the Redcliffe Lagoon and to the beach for a walk at low tide... We did so many things, I might have forgotten to mention one ;)

Art for Kids at the GOMA

The day always finishes with an icecream - Kiki and Ai-Vy will be my future patients! ;)

I know someone who really likes chocolate icecream!

Sometimes we just stayed at home, going to the pool at least twice a day (Ai-Vy definitely would enjoy spending the whole day in the pool!), taking the scooters to the park or playing at the playground...

Ready for a swim!

Another excursion was our day at Sea World! It was the last week for Ai-Vy before starting school. So it was the last oportunitiy for the three of us to have a big day trip all together. We watched a Spongebob Show (Kiki was afraid of Spongebob;)) and a Jetski Show, we saw Dinosaurs at the Dinosaurs Island (Kiki was afraid of them too;)) we spent some time at the Pirates Bay, we went to see penguins, polar bears, sharks, rays, dolphins, pelicans, sea stars, sea cucumbers... And the day ended with us sitting in the front row of the dolphin show (thanks to Kiki's pram...)! It was a really nice day, I enjoyed it a lot too!

Watching penguins at Sea World

Definetly Aivy's favourite Ride!

Doing all those trips with the kids kept me pretty busy but also gave me the oportunity to explore a lot of things as well and to create a strong bond between me and Ai-Vy and Kiki.

I have to go now - I have to work tomorrow! Shall I go to the park or to the beach?!;)

Farewell Brisbane

November came and went all too quickly, but not before Kiki’s birthday!

Kiki’s birthday was great. He blew out his own candles on his cakes, and even got his very own scooter. Now he can be just like Ai-Vy... no more fighting!

Next, we welcomed Talisa! We hurried off to the airport and there she was, full of smiles and lovely conversation for all of us.
She didn’t even have jet lag. We had been waiting for her arrival for quite some time so it was really wonderful to finally meet her in person.

Immediately after Talisa’s arrival, we were off with a bang. I took her into the city to introduce her to some of my friends, and the following day we all went to Ai-Vy’s dance lesson.
The next few days were filled with lots of fun activities- Dream World, Water World, Ai-Vy’s dance lessons and recitals, Currumbin Beach, and to finalize my time with the family we went to Fraser Island.

Fraser Island is a place that both Young and Stephanie knew I wanted to go to since I had arrived in Brisbane, but I wasn't able to make it there during my time. They both organized some time off of work so we could all go as a family, which I was ecstatic about.

We packed our things to leave, and within a few hours we arrived at Rainbow Beach. I have never seen such a beautiful beach in my life. It gets its name due to the minerals in the sand which makes it look rainbow colored.

At the beach we tried to do some sand boarding, and swam. We stayed the night in Hervey Bay, and took a ferry to Fraser Island in the morning. We went four wheel driving in the sand, swam, and we even saw dingoes!

After some goodbyes at the airport and lots of tears from me, I was off to Melbourne to finish off my Visa and do some more traveling. I’m very sad to leave the family behind but I know they have a wonderful new au-pair to take it from here!

There isn't a day that goes by that I don’t think about them, and it’s safe to say that my memories and experience with them will last a lifetime.
Anyone who enters this family is lucky and has some great adventures ahead of them.

Thank you, Young and Stephanie, for taking me in and showing me your part of the world.

Back to France

Avec beaucoup, beaucouuuup de retard et une tête en l'air, fidèle à moi même, (peut être aussi par appréhension de mettre un point final à mon aventure par cet article...) voilà mon dernier post qui parlera non pas de ma magnifique arrivée en Australie mais plutôt du déprimant retour à la réalité, en France.

Le retour aux sources n’a pas été évident et il s'est fait en trois étapes.
De un, quitter la famille et mes amis (et la maison, ma chambre, les chiens, mes habitudes etc.)...
De deux, quitter mes habits à l’aéroport ^^ (le prix à payer pour toutes mes folies)...
Et de trois quitter Stéphanie qui m'avait accompagnée!

Bref, après un flot de larmes je me décide à embarquer le coeur lourd, et me voilà déjà dans l’avion avec de longues heures devant moi pour réfléchir, me remémorer mes trois mois histoire de bien remuer le couteau dans la plaie.

Comme une impression de quitter à nouveau ma famille, mais je me rassure en me disant que je reviendrai...



Enfin, me voilà à Paris. La différence se ressent déjà. En Australie, même la sécurité de l'aéroport me consolait en me voyant tristounette et me voilà en France ou même un "bonsoir" était déjà trop demandé.
Puis je vois mes parents au loin qui m’attendent; et la çà va mieux, je me dit que heureusement, beaucoup de personnes m’attendent ici aussi.

Dès le lendemain, je revois tout le monde, plus particulièrement ma filleule et surtout mon petit filleul né quand j'étais en Australie, un pur bonheur!

Comme dit précédemment, j’ai voulu revenir en Australie pour y finir mes études, j’y avais vraiment songé, mais étant donné les prix exorbitants d’une année d’étude j’ai du y renoncer; je trouve ça très dommage car je suis sure que plus d'une personne voudrai y rester pour étudier :( .

Et puis la routine s’installe: appartement, Strasbourg, école, boulot... sans oublier l'ambition d'explorer un nouveau pays très prochainement!

Même si je ne donne pas souvent de nouvelles, il n'y a pas un jour où je ne repense pas à toute cette aventure; il est difficile de se dire qu'on ne reverra peut être plus ces personnes qui étaient notre famille durant un petit temps mais la beauté de l'aventure vaut largement le coup d'en recommencer une nouvelle!



Et puis Young et Stéphanie, je trouve qu'il y a beaucoup d'articles de filles au pair la... A quand un de vous?

I MISS YOU SOOO MUCH !

October in Oz

Ahhh, October has come, and it marks 3 months for me in Australia. It's getting warmer and warmer here each day, which means the pool is almost ready for us. I can't wait to teach Ai-Vy to swim!

We started off this month by going camping at the beautiful property that Young and Stephanie's friend's parents live on (are you following :) ??). There were endless acres of land... fruit trees, beautiful gardens, walking paths, and lakes. We settled by one of the lakes where everyone enjoyed canoeing, swimming, and fishing.

Young even caught an eel! Disgusting, I know! He put it on the barbie but there was no way I was trying it. Noooo thank you, we had enough wonderful food to eat as it was! We had wine, bread, fresh salads, pastas, fruit from the land, and not to mention the very tasty cheese that was made there on the property... yummm. I also tried Jackfruit for the first time... I had never seen, heard, or tasted it before. It didn't even taste like fruit, more like lollies.

I learned during this camping trip that Kien-Nhu is deathly afraid of bugs! HA HA, I hate to admit it, but it's the funniest thing I have ever seen when they come near him. It's so hard not to laugh but he is truly terrified. What a rough life for KiKi!
Soon he will have to adjust, as Young thinks it's hilarious to put fake spiders around the house and scare me. Look out, Talisa and Maureen.. you're next! I hear stories that the real spiders that come in the summer time are just as big...... :p

I have enjoyed spending some time with Stephanie in the kitchen. We don't always know what it is that we would like to cook or bake but it's always fun to see and taste the end product. I will soon cook something for dinner that is popular in my country, and I will leave them with a couple of recipes to add to their cookbook. The Australian and American culture is very similar in a lot of ways, so I am very fortunate to have an opportunity to learn more about the French culture here.
With such an open family, it's a great and comfortable way to experience and accept our differences/similarities.

I have tried the "Teach me French" program on my computer but find it's a bit difficult to determine the pauses between words. Ai-Vy has taught me a few words.. One night at bath time she thought it was hilarious to have me repeat a word in French, and later I learned it meant "fart"... thanks Ai-Vy! First she wants to eat my brains, now this!

Kien-Nhu and Ai-Vy have really become my little buddies. I can always look to them when I need a smile. I have determined that Ai-Vy is the leader, and Kien-Nhu will always be one step behind her. He always watches and repeats her. KiKi and I are working on how to say "finished" instead of "fishy", and how to say "Please" instead of making a whiny noise.
Ai-Vy still says "Chicken Muggets" instead of nuggets. Hilarious! She loves to sing songs, especially Christmas carols. I am very proud of her for mastering "Twinkle Twinkle" and "Ba Ba Blacksheep" recently.

We have walked to school with the dogs and learned to look both ways before crossing the roads, gone to Southbank to see the events of Riverfire, the arcade, bird watching, and collected snails. We went to the library, picked flowers, and swam at the lagoon. And of course one of their favorites is getting chips at McDonalds :)

I went to Currumbin last week for a surfing lesson with my friends Naomi and Ashlee. I stood up on the board a couple of times but it was very difficult and didn't stay up long. We are planning to go camping and horseback riding at the end of the month, and I will also get to explore Tamborine Mountain finally.

We look forward to welcoming Talisa very soon. One more month until she is here!

Only one month left

Hey everyone!

My name is Talisa, I am almost 19 and very lucky to say that I am going to be the next au pair in Stephanie and Young's family!

I can’t wait to leave for Australia by the 14th of November – in exactly one month!

Currently I live with my family in Mainz, a town of 200.000 inhabitants in southwest Germany.

It has a big university and therefore many young people live here.
There are many lovely locations and interesting attractions throughout the year.

Although Mainz is not a small town, I mostly move from A to B by bike.

We even have some tourism here in Mainz! ;)

My family is kind of a patchwork family.
I live most of the time with my mum and my three siblings Benni (13), Kim (11) and Dominic (6).
So it never gets quiet when they are at home ;).
Moreover I spend a lot of time with my dad, his wife and my little sister Florentine (8), who live 15 min by car away from me.

I finished school in April this year with the “Abitur” (German qualification for university entrance). I decided not to start studying immediately but spend time to gather experience abroad.
Unlike most of the au pairs, English (or French) is not my mother tongue. So please excuse me for any grammatical mistakes ;)
I hope my English skills will improve during my stay in Brisbane!

Since June I have been working at the reception of a dental office.
I started working there to find out whether being a dentist could be the right thing for me.

Me at the dental office

The work there has convinced me to study dentistry.
I like the fact that – as a dentist – I am doing something with my hands, it is somehow a manual and artistic thing, although I am aware how many people are afraid of dentists. ;)

I really like outdoor activities - I like swimming, hiking and skiing but I have to admit that I am doing that mainly on vacation. In general I love trying out new sports, last summer I tried several water sports so as windsurfing, water skiing and catamaran sailing.

I am quite interested in photography, I like taking pictures of my family, friends or anything interesting near me and my camera.

Our dog Tosca in the garden

I am interested in arts, particular contemporary arts. I like drawing and painting and also had arts as an advanced course in school.
I am looking forward to do some handicrafts and painting with Aivy!

All in all I am really excited to fly to Australia in exactly one month and I am looking forward to get to know you all!

I am sure it will be a great time! :)

Présentation

Premier poste, une introduction avant le début de l'aventure australienne.

Je me présente, je m'appelle Maureen Pillon, j'ai presque 23 ans (demain pour être exacte) et oui, si j'écris en français c'est parce que je suis française.

Je vis à Paris, plus belle ville du monde je ne sais pas, mais elle a du charme c'est certain.

J'habite, avec ma mère, dans un quartier plutôt populaire près d'un très beau parc appelé "Les Buttes Chaumont". C'est dans ce quartier que j'ai grandit et que j'ai rencontré mes meilleures amies.

Mon père, quant à lui, habite Compiègne, une ville à 80km au dessus de Paris. Pas de chance, le temps y est souvent pire qu'à Paris.

Une petite résidence sous le soleil du sud ne m'aurait pas déplu mais ça aurait aussi limité mes visites donc pas de quoi se plaindre, ça permet de prendre un bon bol d'air frais entre deux bouffées de pollution parisienne.

C'est une très belle ville avec un superbe château et une grande forêt qui permet d'assister à des courses hippiques, de faire du vélo, des grandes ballades, de ramasser des champignons.

Passons à ce que j'aime faire. Je pratique la danse classique depuis 15 ans au conservatoire, depuis le temps c'est comme une deuxième maison. Je suis très proche de mes deux professeurs dont une était danseuse étoile il y a encore quelques années.

J'aime aussi aller à la piscine y pratiquer l'activité à la mode, "l'aquabiking"! On se sent toujours plus légère en sortant, j'adore. J'aime également la gym, il y a un espace sportif super à côté de chez moi où faire du fitness, je vais d'ailleurs essayer la zumba, une autre pratique très tendance. Il faut bien se mettre à la page!

A part le sport, j'aime cuisiner, recevoir des amis, sortir avec eux dans des restaurants ou des bars sympas, aller au ciné... Et par dessus tout j'adore voyager, c'est une des raisons de mon post. J'ai pu voir de très beaux endroits avec mes parents tels que l'Ile de la Réunion, la Guadeloupe, le Kenya, la Grèce, la Croatie..., mais un pays m'a toujours fait rêver l'Australie!

J'en arrive au pourquoi du comment! Après mon bac, j'ai tout de suite entamé des études de gestion à la Sorbonne. J'ai suivi quatre ans d'étude dans ce domaine puis j'ai réalisé un master 2 en ressources humaines, toujours dans la même université, tout en travaillant en alternance à la SNCF (entreprise ferroviaire). Une année assez chargée et parfois un peu difficile. Elle s'est achevée le mois dernier, je peux enfin dire que je suis diplômée bac+5.

Il est donc temps de partir vivre une belle aventure à l'étranger, comme j'ai toujours eu envie de le faire, et bien sûr j'ai tout de suite pensé à l'Australie.
Souhaitant partir au moins un an et partager la vie d'une famille sur place, j'ai commencé à me renseigner pour être fille au pair. Je voulais essayer de trouver seule avant de passer par un organisme et de me faire dépouiller.

Je me suis donc inscrite sur un site spécialisé, et avant même de créer mon profil je suis tombée sur celui d'une famille qui me paraissait parfaite: j'ai nommé la famille Truong! Une magnifique photo, une longue et plaisante description, oui c'est le coup de cœur, les autres familles finissent par me sembler fades.
Ma motivation n'a fait que s'intensifier et j'ai décidé de les contacter le plus vitepossible, tout en voyant, non sans stress, le nombre de candidatures augmenter tous les jours. Par grand bonheur, après quelques semaines de discussion, et je dois l'avouer une certaine appréhension à l'idée de ne pas plaire, j'ai reçu une réponse positive.

Et me voilà m'extasiant pour une arrivée prévue mi-février 2013! J'ai déjà tellement hâte d'y être, de partager la vie de Young, Stéphanie, Ai-Vy, Kien-Nhu, et bien sûr Todd et Chom Chom!!
Je sais que ce sera une formidable aventure, et je peux déjà les remercier de me permettre de réaliser ce rêve.

Depuis cette merveilleuse nouvelle je me prépare donc à ce futur départ. Permis de conduire, baby siting (je serai au top pour jouer avec Ai-Vy et Kien-Nhu), faire des économies (pas la partie la plus facile, le shopping c'est le mal) et je commence une liste des choses à faire sur place (m'essayer au surf, faire de la plongée près de la barrière de corail, visite de Sydney et de Brisbane...).
En attendant de prendre la relève en février, je prends mon mal en patience et continue de rêver!

How rude of me!

How rude of me not to introduce myself! Let's start over ;)

Hello all!! My name is Jordan. I'm 23, and I'm from Portland, Oregon which is the Pacific Northwest in the United States. Oregon is known for it's truly breathtaking and diverse scenery.

There you will find our extensive coastline, lakes, rivers, mountains, valleys, deserts, and forests. Just depends on where you are.

Before I moved to Australia, I was working full time at a non-profit hospital in the Emergency Room as a Registrar. My job was a lot of things - exciting, stressful, and rewarding in more than one way as I met my current boyfriend there. Talk about working hard! ;)
So yes, it's true, I do have a boyfriend back at home and he's finishing his Paramedic schooling while i'm here (are you catching on about how we met yet??)

In my free time at home, I enjoyed hiking, photography, kayaking, going out, weekend getaways to the mountains, or just relaxing and watching movies. I'm pretty much up for whatever and will try anything once.

I decided to become an Au Pair because I love children and I love traveling, and I was really looking for a change in pace and culture. Here I am now, and it's safe to say that it has been an extremely awarding experience thus far. I look forward to many more days like the ones I have already spent :)

My first blog post!

Along with many other "firsts" in Australia, I can say that this is my first time ever posting a blog! I can admit that I am a bit technically challenged... but here goes finally.

I have been in Australia just a little over two months now. I began as an Au Pair for another family, but quickly realized that we were not the right fit for each other. My friend Amanda always talked about her friend Morgane's family and how wonderful they were, and it turns out that Morgane was looking for a replacement for herself as she was going back to France shortly. I asked Morgane to give me some information, and soon enough I met the family and things took off from there! Pretty good decision!! ;)

Young and Stephanie are both very active and encouraging. I realized that Ai-Vy may or may not be a zombie after she informed that she would like to "Eat my brains" on my first day with them. Kien-Nhu was a bit shy at first but he quickly warmed up to me.

Ai-Vy, Kien-Nhu and I enjoy going to the parks nearby. We try to go to new ones and do different activities. Sometimes we go just to play on the equipment, or just take a nice walk on the many easily accessible paths nearby. The kids also enjoy just having a quiet picnic outdoors with some books after daycare. I also take them with me to Chermside, the local shopping mall and they never fuss. They really are awesome kids, and are always happy to do things with me. Ai-Vy really enjoys baking cakes too.

We have already done a ton of fun things as a family together. On my first weekend here, we went to the beach at Surfer's Paradise and had a nice picnic lunch with some of Young and Stephanie's friends. The kids (and me too, not even going to lie) enjoyed finding massive amounts of seashells and sand boarding down the dunes.

After our fun weekend, it was time for me to buckle down and learn to drive a manual... LOOK OUT AUSTRALIA... I had already mastered driving on the left side of the road but I hadn't come this far in life yet with the manual. Both Morgane and Stephanie were extremely patient with me and I think I learned pretty quickly. Young might disagree. LOL.

Other "firsts" for me include eating a Kangaroo steak, compliments of Young. Tasted like steak with a bit of a fishy after taste... Bon Appétit!

I got down to my true Aussie roots one weekend at Springbrook National Park and walked BAREFOOT on the bushwalk (ouch)... after a few comments, strange looks, and pity for my poor feet, Young made me some truly natural "shoes" from the bush. See pic!

We have also gone to Noosa on a holiday with Morgane before she went home. We have also been to Currumbin Beach for the day for a picnic, swimming, and a nice walk.

On Mondays and Thursdays, Stephanie likes to take Chom Chom and Todd to Agility Training. So far I have had the chance to go once and it was really fun. Chom Chom and Todd hadn't gone to Agility for a long time but impressively still remembered everything. I learned a lot of cool techniques and moves so I look forward to doing the same with my dog when I go back home.

A week ago today, we went into the city to Young and Stephanie's citizenship ceremony. There was music, an Aboriginal performance, and of course a lot of talking but it truly was awesome to be part of such a special occasion for so many people. Afterwards, we went out for Indian food... ask Stephanie how much she liked it!!

True Aussies now!

This last Sunday, we all (including Chom Chom and Todd) went back to Currumbin Creek/Beach to celebrate Young and Stephanie's new citizenship. We had a fantastic BBQ, and I got to meet more of their friends. We spent the afternoon just chillin in the sun, and afterwards we all went paddle boarding/canoeing. It was my first time paddle boarding but definitely not the last. Aaah and I wasn't the only one that fell off the board ;)

Aside from all the activities with the family; I myself have traveled to Sydney, Noosa and the Australia Zoo, Byron Bay a few times, and Stradbroke Island. I have gone to a Footie match, whale watching, Dreamworld, Cirque Du Soleil, Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, and abseiled the Kangaroo Cliffs. I have climbed in the middle of the night to the top of Mt Warning to catch the very first sunrise in all of Australia, visited the Glasshouse Mountains, and hiked the ridges of Mt Gravatt. I have enjoyed walking along Manly Bay, making BBQ's at Southbank, and exploring the bush on bike.

I have met wonderful people along the way from all over the world, and have made some lifelong friends for sure. It's truly been a wonderful experience, and I look forward to more!

I hope to visit Lamington National Park, Fraser Island, Tamborine Mountain(I hear you can get a fabulous cheese and wine platter!), the Blue Mountains, The Whitsundays, Mt Moffatt, Melbourne, Alice Springs, and Uluru (Ayers Rock).

Stay tuned!!

Mes dernieres semaines en Australie

Alors déjà pour commencer, j’ai quasiment remplie toute ma liste de vœux dite précédemment, et bien plus encore! Mes dernières semaines ont été chargées, il n'y avait pas un jour ni un week-end où je me suis ennuyée (un peu comme d'habitude ici quoi).

Ha oui, chose importante que je n'avais pas mentionnée dans la liste et chose indélébile, je me suis faite tatouée ! Par contre j'ai pas été aussi courageuse le jour où nous sommes allé à Stradbroke island... ben oui... Je n’ai pas vu le spectacle de baleines par contre, elles sont venues nager «prêt» de nous, on a pu les voir, trop bizarre! Du coup sa m'a suffit, je pense que c'était bien plus impressionnant de les savoir proche de nous comme sa, prise par surprise, que d'aller voir leur spectacle!

Ha et je me suis laissée entrainée par la folle ambiance du rugby en Australie... on était voir plusieurs matchs avec les copines, c'est énooorme, stade rempli, pompom girls, feu d'artifice, comme dans un film !

Puis comme dit, chaque week-ends étaient géniaux... Entre mes week-ends sur la Goldcoast (avec mes copines on a adoptée l'ambiance juste géniale de cet endroit, tant la journée que les soirées !) , le géant botanic garden, Stradbroke island et nos magnifiques balades en 4X4 sur la plage, le zoo et le fameux bisous au kangourou et le porté du koala, j'étais aux anges !

Nos balades et nos magnifiques paysages à Byron Bay, le pique nique et mes premières leçon de surf à Noosa (je n'oublierai jamais toutes ces vagues que j'ai réussi a prendre, je suis trop fière de moi..........), nos piques niques à la plage... j'ai savouré chaque instant et tout tout TOUT était magique!

Ma dernière semaine avait aussi été en compagnie de Jordan, la nouvelle chanceuse de la famille ! Les petits l'ont tout de suite adoptée ! Elle reprendra probablement le blog après moi et elle ne sait même pas à quel point je l'envie d'être à ma place.

Enfin bref, je n’ai pas de mots assez fort pour décrire cette expérience tellement, elle a été exceptionnelle pour moi, j’en suis sure que je n’arriverai jamais à vivre quelque chose d’aussi beau.

Merci à ma parfaite famille "australienne" qui a su rendre mon aventure inoubliable!!!
