How I did it: Between living in rentals at home and hostels while travelling, getting a map of the world for my wall wasn't going to be easy.But we just moved into a new place that my mum bought so posters were definitely on the agenda... or they were, until I ran out of wall space!So I compromised, found a lovely vintage style globe for $10 at Officeworks and it sits on my desk.Globes are cooler than maps anyway!I now have the world at my fingertips, … Read how I did it…
How I did it: I've always read a lot of books but poetry, outside of what appeared in novels, what I studied in school and a love of war poetry, wasn't something I really sought out.I aimed to read a poem every day for the month of May and I've done just that!I've found a few new favourites, rediscovered some old loves and been moved to tears more than once!So rewarding!It's definitely something I'm going to keep doing. A poem is a much quicker read th… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I set myself the challenge to make an effort to write every day. I read somewhere that if you do something every day for two weeks, it pretty much becomes habit. I'd done NaNo and Script Frenzy before but always in sporadic bursts - blasting out ten pages at a time then forgetting for a few days.

I paid my mum back the last of the money I borrowed for Perth and now she’s lent me it all back so I can close my UK account and cover my overdraft. So yeah, that’s pretty much done. Just giving my mum $100 a week to pay her back.
Uni is almost paid for and the savings for the trip home are coming along nicely.
I reckon by the end of this year, I can mark this as done. I’ve really taken control and I’m super pleased with myself!
I’ve lived in Oz for nearly a year and a half and I’ve still not ticked this off.
Probably because Brisbane doesn’t have its own beach… maybe later in the year, I’ll head up to the Gold Coast and give it a shot!
We have the dates, we have the itinerary, we have a rough estimate of costs.
Just need to get this semester of uni paid for and we are on to book flights, accommodation for York (I’m on sofas and in spare bedrooms for Edinburgh and Preston!) and trains and buses between locations.
I am so excited.
