“I want to get away, I want to fly awaaaay!” Eight months ago I was editing my winning movie with Lenny Kravitz’ Fly Away to win a 6 month holiday to Australia. Who could ever imagine seeing that add on Facebook, putting a lot of my time in making that video and listening to those fly away words would bring me to the point where I am now: the luckiest person in the world after traveling all over Australia for free! And now it is finished…

And how I lived! Absolutely EVERY possible Australian tour, EVERY inch of Australian soil and EVERY drop of Australian ocean I felt, did and saw and Peterpans took all the effort in their power to make me feel at home & highly appreciated. I am not lying if I say I have felt lucky seriously every minute of those six months and thinking about that time wakes up the butterflies in my belly instantly.

I can look at my pictures forever and ever and get reminded of all those amazing things I’ve done. Skydiving at Mission Beach, bungy jumping in Cairns, rafting in Tully, Scuba diving in the Great Barrier Reef, swimming with wild dolphins, snorkelling with whalesharks, surfing in Byron Bay, horseriding in Cape Tribulation, jetskiing in Surfers Paradise, hiking in Victoria, sailing in the Whitsundays, dirt-road driving at Fraser Island, partying all over the coast, biking at Rottnest Island, abseiling in Karijini, holding a koala, feeding kangaroos…there is too much to mention! And let’s not forget all the wonderful things I’ve seen!

I made friends from all over the world and learnt about love, life and happiness but most of all about myself. I know it is a cliché but traveling really made me a different person. I can’t repeat enough how happy I’ve felt the past half year and it keeps going! Although I am working at the moment, this trip will always leave its marks in my life.

I want to thank all the awesome sponsors and Peterpans Adventure Travel in particular to have made this all happen to me. From the moment I stepped on Australian ground I felt at home and everybody around me made me feel really special. And it’s not even finished, because Peterpans offered me a job! My adventure continues… and so does this blog. I will post more videos about my journey and stories about my work at a cattle station

Special thanks to ANZ, Ocean Freedom, Red Earth Safaris, Skydive Australia, Bunyip and Aquarius Backpackers for putting money in my bank account, to Optus for supplying my iPhone and to Area4Work for supplying my GoPro camera!

“I did really fly, into the sky, so very high, just like a dragonfly.
I flew above the trees, over the seas in all degrees, to everywhere I pleased…”
