I am making travel plans again! | The story continues.

My last post on this website already hinted at this, but I’m slowly making travel plans again! As the other post didn’t go into any details, I’ve got some exciting news to share this time.

Summer on King Island

Today was my last day as a cheesemaker for King Island Dairy. I’ve worked at this company for 14 months, which is much longer than the anticipated four months. It has been such a great experience, and it was fantastic living so remotely for the time being. After learning everything about cheese-making, I’m thrilled it was my last day.

The main goal is to travel around Australia and hopefully to other countries again. The company told me I’m always welcome to come back, so it’s great to have that to fall back on. But a traveller is a traveller.

In the end, and after 14 months, it’s time to go and explore again! My life on King Island will be something I’ll look back on positively for the rest of my life.

Travel Plans

Upcoming Thursday, I’m flying back to Melbourne. It’s where I lived for five months before I got to King Island. The first thing on my to-do list is catching up with the friends that I’ve made in Melbourne. Unfortunately, all the backpackers I left behind 14 months ago will be gone. Luckily I stayed in touch with the locals. Since my travel plans only start next Thursday, I also have enough time on King Island to catch up with everybody before leaving. It’s sad, but it is also the reality. I have known this moment would happen ever since I had my first foot on this island.

I’ve been putting this trip off for almost two years now, and it’s finally getting closer. I’ve also included some time on the mainland to make travel plans for my upcoming Tasmania trip. If only I had done these preparations beforehand. I had 14 months to prepare, haha! But, on the other hand, who could have known when and if my trip would happen?
