When I was 19 I made a friend on Kik. He was just older than me, from Melbourne, Australia. He was Aboriginal, and a musician, and he became my close friend.
Ever since then Australia has been in the back of my mind, something that I wanted to explore and experience. A curiosity that felt close at hand, within my grasp. Over the years I've learned bits and pieces of the culture over the years, and I've always wanted to visit.
Well. Now I am.
I bought a visa in September, and now, November 16th, 2024 I'm here in Brisbane.
