Happy New Year from Australia! Finally feeling settled in. I didn’t think the jet lag got to me at first, but I was wrong. It wasn’t terrible, but I definitely felt disoriented. It took me a few days, but now I am feeling back to normal ✈️
Celebrating NYE last night here in Sydney at Ruby’s house was fun. She had a party and invited her local friends over. People kept telling me how cool my accent was, which I loved. As the person who usually hosts the parties, it’s not normal for me to feel like the foreigner, so that was a cool change of pace 😎
It was also really fun to wake up and celebrate New Year’s Day during summer. I have never experienced New Year’s outside of Los Angeles, so it’s always been a somewhat short winter day. I woke up today, put on a bathing suit, and came right to the pool. Sunset is at 8 p.m 🌞
I don’t have a lot of plans for the rest of my trip here other than enjoying the long days and hanging out by Ruby’s pool and the nearby beaches. If you are from the area and have suggestions of things I need to try while I am in Sydney, I would love to hear them 🇦🇺
