A very sterotypical phrase most non-Australians want to hear when arriving here! And I have yet to hear an Australian say that! (Sighing while writing this.... quite disappointed!)
Two weeks ago I moved from the cold winter that was in Denmark to the sunny Gold Coast in Australia. Why would I move to the other side of the earth you may ask? Yeah it sounds impulsive and everything but it all started roughly 3 years ago when I visited my sisters for Christmas on the Sunny Coast, and fell in love with the country and the culture. People here are so outgoing and happy all the time and especially the people on campus are great. Living in the Griffith University Village (the picture is of GriffithUV) is also great, as one is "forced" to meet people all the time, and therefore make friends fast seeing as I didn't know anyone before arriving. Everyone is in the same boat, all a bit nervous and jittered but all embracing the feeling of uni with open arms!
After having only been here for roughly 2 weeks I already feel that I have a solid group of friends, and a girlfriend which definitely has meant I have yet to feel home-sick even though I have a great handful of friends back in Denmark. I haven't regretted moving here, nor will I, I'm loving every minute down here!
I will also be seeing family soon as my brother will be getting married in 2 weeks time in Melbourne, where everyone will be gathered!
