I’m heading into my final week here in Melbourne, getting ready to bid farewell to this city and to Australia. I’ve absolutely loved my time here and I’m going to be spending my final few days here trying to cram as much Melbourne into my minutes as I possibly can.

The list of things I love about this city would be a long one, matched only by the list of things I will miss. I’ve made great friends and enjoyed the really fantastic culture this city has. The coffee, the trams, the bicycles, the music, the festivals, it’s a great place and will forever be a landmark in my life and an etching in my soul.

So from now until Friday I intend to enjoy every last moment of Melbourne, hoping that it won’t be too long until I’m back within its familiar streets again.
