Australia: A huge country I fell in love with right away. There is so much to discover and experience here, so the bucketlist gets a little fuller with every day. Although I’ve been able to experience a lot in the six months I’ve already spent Down Under and where able check off a few things from my bucketlist, there’s so much more to see.

Australia consists of eight states, some of which are huge. Each of these states offers incredible scenery, beaches and adventures that are all worth experiencing.

Soon I will go back to Australia with the Working Holiday Visa. In the last few months I have started to create a bucketlist with some inspiration for things I could do and all the places I would like to see during my stay.
