Jorgs, that’s me. I was going to call this blog
Wanderluster, since I’m such a travel nut job, but I decided that this blog isn’t
going to be exclusively about my travel adventures, so best not to name it
that! Feels like the hardest part of starting a blog is choosing a cool name
for it. Hopefully this one is cool enough to entice a few readers.
Of course my name isn’t really Jorgs – that’s an
abbreviation of my surname. If you follow this diary you’ll get to read about
my job as a flight attendant and my many adventures in many far flung
countries, look backs at my past adventures in far flung countries and lots of
my thoughts too just on being a twenty something girl who is trying to find her
feet and make a life.
I thought now would be a good time to start a blog, as I am
about to make a big life change. For the past 17 months I have been living in
Sydney, where I took up a new job flying internationally. It was something I
always wanted to do – live somewhere other than Perth, in Western Australia,
where I was born and lived my entire life, and my dream job being offered to me
in a city I had visited many times and always adored seemed like a great
opportunity to do that.
So I did it. And it has been interesting and fun and crazy
and a fantastic learning curve for me. But it was also overwhelming and lonely
and expensive and I didn’t make nearly as many friends as I thought I would. So
I’ve decided to head back west, where the majority of my family and friends
still live, and be a proper West Australian again. I’m going to keep my job,
and simply come to Sydney whenever I have to work (for a flight attendant getting
on a plane and commuting to another city for work is like getting on a bus
every morning and going into the city for regular working folks!).
In just over a week I will be leaving my little flat that I
had made my home, and my Dad and I will be driving across the Nullarbor back to
Perth. A week after that my only sibling will be getting married and I will be
trying to settle back into living with my parents (what have I done!?).
So stay tuned for more bonkers tales of the
bonkers life of a commuting flight attendant!
