“I’m Going on an Adventure!!!”
The content is purely for comical effects, please don’t get offended. So, it turns out they do know what sausage rolls are here and actually more than the average Joe yet less than the top dog inventors, the British, despite the USA attempting to claim rights with their imitation, the “Puff Dog” – which…
I Fear No Colours – Just the Outback!
So here I am – the outback; dream of fields, fields of fields – even my week long denial couldn’t stop my fate, in fact it made me significantly unprepared mentally, emotionally and physically. I have been in the minuscule bumpkin village of Narembeen now for three week with the herds of farm folk, kiwi sheep…
The eX Files
For fun and love of writing, I have decided to divulge my past “note-worthy” relationships giving a brief story and final thought on each. Besides being intrigued, you never know, you might even see the effects of letting someone go you shouldn’t or staying with someone you DEFINITELY shouldn’t. Either way, the main intentions of the post…
What’s been keeping me busy down under?
So, I’m 4 months deep into this Australian dream; what have I been doing, what have I achieved and where am I going? What have I been doing? Besides laying on sandy beaches, waking up to embrace the sunshine and moving 4 times across the Gold Coast, I have been keeping immensely busy juggling two…
Warning!! Cheater exposed!
“It’s sweet you took your wedding ring off for me!” These words came out my mouth as I examined his hand trying to be quirky and humorous on a date. I’ve never made that joke before so why did I now? Did I have a sixth sense, was I extremely intuitive or perhaps a little…
Is the Lie Less or Greater than the Truth?
Dating 101. I have recently met a guy, the rare kind that will make your heart skip a beat whilst you dance to the rhythm of his. Instead of seeing love hearts, I was seeing fractions, percentages and a hell of a lot of question marks. I had to decide whether or not to believe…
The Big Trip
Creative writing by Katie Babb Just before a significant event you’ve been looking forward to for weeks, why do we trip at the last hurdle, why can’t we last those extra hours, just one more night you say to yourself the next day. The overwhelming excitement becomes too much to bare and you proceed to…
The Airport: should I miss the boat?
In high spirits having my expectations exceeding on my first day down under, I smiled, packed my bag which somehow was out of control after only two nights and made my way to the airport. As it was a domestic flight coupled with the fact I didn’t want to spend money on airport wastage, I…
First stop, Cairns!
I ventured into Cairns making my way to the local supermarket, I always found it exciting exploring different supermarkets, their foods, the pricing, isles, offers and the hot counter. So a sandwich made in the supermarket was 10 dollars, this seemed a lot but I did fancy a sandwich so I price checked a loaf…
I’m Down Under! But am I Wanted?
March the 4th The flight sets off on time and a sarcastic cheer from the passengers can be heard like flying a plane was as easy as flying a kite (which I couldn’t even do). If I was the pilot id be half tempted to cut my nose off to spite my face and plunge…
What’s happened since my evacuation?
February 15th The departure had got me feeling like a celebrity with all this fuss by me leaving. There was literally no turning back without looking like an absolute moron. I was homeless, jobless; I would say there was a difference between me and half of the Maidstone population but actually, I suspected theirs was…
The most difficult thing is the decision, the rest is just a technicality.
The days leading up to my imminent departure. January 11th 2017 It was my final day in the place I’d rented cheaply in London for the goal of saving for my exit to Australia. By this point, I had convinced myself that it wasn’t too bad, but the fact I hadn’t invited any mates or guys…
What happened at Bieber.
Taken in Colmeal, Portugal. Photographer, Katie Babb. So last week I visited Portugal, my second time in 10 years. The stakes were high, I hadn’t seen my Dad in more than half that time and I had never seen Justin Bieber. Who was I more excited to see, were they even really comparable, should I…
