Today after 30+ hours of travel, flying and waiting to fly, I have made it to Melbourne Australia. I feel like I am in a completely different world although the language is the same. It is a major relief to finally be here. It is certainly a process you have to go through but completely worth it. I do feel a bit scared, especially because I have to find an apartment in 4 days, but I am really lucky to have a great support system back home so I know I can make it through these next 5 months with a great experience.
Upon arrival the temperature was 22⁰C humid with overcast skies. Almost everyone is wearing pants though I certainly could have rolled mine up. It’s really nice to have escaped the New York weather for summer heat. Tomorrow’s forecast is rain which is better than blizzard. I can’t wait for the sun to come out so I can break out my shorts and get some sun on my legs.
A few things I have noticed so far are:
*Very much like any other country that is not the USA, things in Australia are smaller such as cars and shampoo bottles.
*Almost every single guy I have see is wearing skinny jeans
*The trees have a very strange shape and texture as does the grass.
*Australians are very friendly people.

February: 18.5°C (65°F) - 25.5°C (78°F)
