Hello there, glad you made it back! You smell lovely today. Many things have changed since we last spoke, so let’s get started shall we?

First of all, the more observant amongst you will notice that the layout of the blog has been changed and updated… nice eh? Thanks, I thought so too. Those with even keener eyesight will also notice that the name of the blog has changed; this is in light of some new developments to do with my future adventures in Australia. Mainly that they will have to be a little further in the future than I had first anticipated… which is a shame, but hopefully will prove to be the right decision.

So in light of this new development, a blog make-over was needed, as well as a re-think as to the subject matter. So therefore in the couple of months or so that I’m remaining in my lovely homeland, this blog will act as a sort of mini release for some of my thoughts, ponderings and insights into life in general (I know, I’m excited too).

So what am I doing at the moment? Well, good question… Other than looking for a temporary job (providing, of course, that my budding professional poker career doesn’t take off…) then it seems my life is being taken up with trying to get as much fun as possible, by spending as little as possible, which at the moment is going alright. I am actually using this time to begin learning a lot of different things that I’ve never had the time for before, which is great! I may even learn a bit of Spanish… I always did like croissants…

Anyway… thanks for stopping by, it was good to catch up. I hope we can do it again soon! Take care of yourself.

Oh just quickly before you go; a little note about the post titles from now on. I am going to attempt to learn an interesting fact everyday for as long as I can, and although I won’t be ‘blogging’ everyday, I thought it would be nice to share some of them with you. Isn’t it fun to learn?

Well hello there everyone and welcome to my blog, you’re looking lovely today.

If you do not know who I am and have just happened to stumble upon this blog on the internet, then let me introduce myself. My name as you have probably gathered by the rather cunning and explanatory title to this particular blog; is Ste ((EDIT: back then the blog was entitled “Ste in Oz”)). At the time of writing I am 22 years of age, have just graduated from university, and am planning to travel from my home country of England, to Australia later on this month (again… hence the genius title).

I have decided to write a blog about my various adventures, antics and other incredibly deep and potentially thought-provoking insights of living and working in Australia, as well as the preparation in the lead up to going. This blog has started as a way to document my travels, both for myself in the furture, and for any family and friends wanting to know how i’m doing.

Of course the joy that will inevitably be gotten from reading this is open to anybody, not just my family and friends. It would be great to think that this blog may even help some people wanting to organise their own travels, or inspire people to go on a little adventure of their own. And with that i shall bring an end to this first post. Good night, sweet dreams, and don’t worry… i’m sure you didn’t forget to lock the front door… did you?… no you definitely did… right?… yes i’m sure you did…

(Any donations, tribute songs, fan sites, or cult followings are welcome… Of course i’m not expecting this… but i have made some t-shirts. Just in case.)
