What I will miss - Day trips

I am currently still in my home town of Cape Town, South Africa and thought that I'll start a little series on things that I will miss when I leave at the end of the month. I thought to do this in installments because there is absolutely no way I could pick just a few things :)

This past weekend my family and I took a mini road trip to a sea side town called Hermanus. The town is only about 45 minutes out of Cape Town and its famous for its whale spotting and its whale festival. I'm not going to miss the town because I don't have much connection to it but I will miss the spontaneous day trips that my family and I take. It is so magical that I live in a place that you can be out of the hustle and bustle of the city in under and hour and into the tranquil sites of small towns dotted around the area. Even though I have never been overseas, I still think that Cape Town is the most beautiful place in the world and I am so grateful that I get to call it home :) 

It all begins now

I've been holding up on my first blog post but now I think I should begin!

I officially graduated from high school! I wrote my final word of my History paper and once I was done I proudly did a Judd Nelson fist thrust in the air. As I walked out the exam venue I knew that now I am a part of the real world and this is where it all begins.

What a better way to document my transition into the real world but with a blog? So here I am!

Unlike most people my age, I am not immediately going into the world of tertiary education. No, it isn't because I don't have the brain capacity to do so, it is because I don't know the exact direction my life should go in. So I have decided to take a gap year to - AUSTRALIA!

No, I will not be lounging on a couch eating chips and watching endless reruns of Glee. I will be a gap assistant at a very lovely school in Ballarat, Victoria! Not only will I be working at the school, I will also be travelling Oz and hopefully some islands around it! ;)

This blog is mostly for family and friends to know what is going on during my gap year but if you are not family or a friend, welcome to my gap year blog :)
