I’ve been living in Melbourne, Australia for 2 weeks now. I have a room in a share house with 6 other young people, from the US, Italy, Israel, England, and Australia. I’m here to finish up my 1-year working holiday visa, which expires in September.

Melbourne is known to be the coolest city in Australia, and I definitely agree, which is why I decided to live here for a few months. I got a job as a fundraiser for a women’s and children’s charity, and – more importantly – have found a team to play ultimate frisbee with! I bought a bike, found a yoga studio near my house with a 1-month introductory deal, and am slowly figuring out the public transportation.

So far, so good!
