It's Nearly Time To Go Home

" I can't go back to yesterday,

because I was a different person then. "

1 Month to go. It's crazy to think about it. I've been in a strange country, surrounded by strangers for 9 months now. I haven't seen my family, my friends, my bed in nine months. And in 1 month I'll be back. This all will be over.

I've learned so much about myself, who I want to be, how to get what I want, how to confident. I've met so many people. Made friends out of strangers. A lot happened. And I can't really imagine how it will be to be back home. I have a completely different mindset now, as crazy and cheesy as that sounds. But I know not to take everything to seriously. I know that I fell in love with out earth and want to do what I can to protect it.

Of course, I'm more than excited to go back home. To see everyone again. I'm a little bit over New Zealand at this point (no, it's not your fault NZ, I loved you). I'm over having to introduce myself every day. To meet people and see them go a few days later. At this point I'm excited to see the rest of the North Island (I'll start traveling when my friend arrives on the 11th). And then I'm excited to get back home.

But going home is not going to be relaxing. I have two months before I leave for the US, to do my Disney CRP. And I have so much to do. I have a bunch of doctor's appointments already scheduled, I have to go to Berlin to get my Visa, I have to go to my city to get my Police Clearance. I need new clothes. I have so many birthdays coming up (Including my own!). And I have so many things I want to do simply because I missed them while I was gone. My Calendar is already crazy full, but I can't wait to spend all this time with the people I love the most.

Okay, back to my last month here in New Zealand (because worrying about what will happen back home makes no sense at all). I've been spending the past month in Auckland, trying to work as much as I can (I work for an agency, but they don't offer me as many jobs as I would like). So basically, I've been bored a lot, but I still earned a bit of money (All going into gas in Germany and my time in Florida). I went to the cinema a lot, which didn't help me save money, but there were so many good movies coming out in the past few months (Endgame, Aladdin, Endgame again). I'm actually going to see the new Spider-Man tomorrow which I'm sooo excited for. Every time I see that trailer I start to cry, which basically means the movie will be amazing.

Australia 

As I said, my friend is arriving on the 11th and we'll be traveling together until the 5th of August and then flying home together. My original plan was to have her do the planning, as she had been excited about going here for years. But a week before she's leaving Germany and somehow her plan doesn't really make any sense. So I spent a few hours yesterday putting it all in a decent order and researching how we could do it efficiently. So I was being the travel agent, which I didn't want to do, but I did also want to enjoy my last few weeks here and I had a few things I wanted to see. So I got all our stops planned (we're actually quite tight on time, which I didn't expect, so planning it out made the most sense, especially since a few of the things we want to do are tours that need to be booked somewhat in advance).

I'll keep you updated on how it goes. I'm actually a little bit scared that I will do the tour guide for the whole thing, and knowing myself I wouldn't be able to hold myself back either. So yes, it's all a little bit crazy right now, but I'm going to let myself be surprised by it.

Anyways, I hope you guys are doing amazing, and I can't wait to tell you more about my Disney/ Travel Story in the future.
