Day 13: Travel dreams!


Hello lovelies!

Apparently quarter to 1 in the morning is when I feel inspired to write a post, strange but I guess I'll roll with it! 
Well we've made it to day 13, almost half way and today's topic is a great one for me! Travelling has always been something I love, since I took my first solo trip to New Zealand. I definitely get bored staying in one place for too long! I've lived in Cambridge for two years now, and already I'm itching to try somewhere new! 

For me the travel excitement begins from the first look mention of a trip. Booking flights, finding somewhere to stay, reading a guidebook... I love every part of it, even packing! 

Am I the only one who absolutely adores flying. I've been told it's a little weird, but knowing you'll be stepping into completely different place at the end is the best feeling! 

Knowing I'll be in Cambs for another year, whilst reading about all the amazing places I can get work experience or even an actually job in, definitely inspires plenty of plans! 
There are so many countries I'm dreaming of at the moment so I'll stick with one for now..

Australia!



Everyone dreams of visiting Aus at some point, and who could blame them? To see every amazing thing over there, you would need years!
For me, the dream to head over there is much more than just sight-seeing. I have family there that I miss so much, including my beautiful siblings. 
To head over there and be shown around by family, I couldn't think of much better! 

Of course being a student means saving for this is taking longer than I hoped. But one day I'll be stepping off that plane in WA!

If you could have a free plane ticket to one place in the world, where would you pick?

Day 8: Hopes for the future!


Hello Lovelies!

My future, well I have no idea! Past the next few year it all gets a little blurry, I have too many plans coming up to think past my 20's! So I'll stick with what my hopes are for after university! 

I'm currently in my 2nd year of reading zoology at ARU, next year I hope to produce a dissertation that is good enough for publication as a scientific paper.

After that, I would hope to graduate with a high 2:1 or above. Once I've graduated, I don't plan on moving back home. After 3 years of living in a city, I fear moving back to sleepy Cheshire would be more than horrid. So instead I'm going to find a job and work like a crazy person until I have enough money for a big plane ticket. 



Then as soon as I can, it's back to my favourite place in the world, New Zealand.
My hope is to head out there on a working visa, find a basic job and travel around when I can afford. It's still such a basic dream but I have to start somewhere! Eventually once I've figured being a grown -up, I hope to work on breeding programmes and with Primates in particular. 

My hopes for the future definitely seem so vague right now, but at least I know where I want to end up! 

This is such a talky kind of post so I'm going to leave it there, and maybe head back to doing some essay writing (got to get those 2:1s!).

Got any tips for entering the real world again after graduation?
