I just moved to Brisbane for study. I grew on the coast in Noosa and even though its mere 2 hour drive away, I still get home sick. Mostly from the beautiful beaches and amazing national parks. I've always lived a quick walk from the beach and I was spoilt with the ocean. Having salty hair, sun kissed skin and sandy feet feels amazing, feeling fresher after a ocean swim than shower. Moving to Brisbane was a smart choice as Noosa doesn't have many opportunities for a young student. I always thought I was going to move to Melbourne as my family live there, I love the culture with the cafes and bands, but somehow I ended up in the Queensland capital. It was within a 3 days that my friend and I decided on Brisbane for university. We both got into the universities we wanted and it was on the last hour that I accept my UQ course. We travelled down the next 2 weeks searching for units and was lucky to find a nice one in Milton. 

After living in Brisbane for a month now I'm slowing getting use to the rush of the city, traffic, paid parking, traffic lights, go cards, trains, and merging even when cars will not let me in! I love Brisbane's entertainment from the bands, comedy, musicals, plays, festivals and the choice of food!!! There are so many cafes, restaurants and bars that are just waiting to be discovered. One cafe that I love is 'Comfort at my Table', which caters for breakfast/ early lunch in Milton. It is delicious!

Well that was a bit of a ramble,
