Hi Gram, The next few days in Melbourne weren’t super eventful. I went to a coffee shop and got some work done on my computer, we had some meals and chats as I enjoy doing with friends, and I saw some more cool street art. I didn’t write down much of what I was doing…

Hi Gram,Today was another great day. I woke up early in our little fisherman’s cabin, did my morning routine then headed out for a walk. I enjoyed the crisp cool air as the sun was just coming over the horizon, waving like a silly tourist at the passing cars and people out walking to school…

Hi Gram,Onward and upward! We got up early this morning and hit the road for our road trip, the next leg of this amazing Australian leg of the journey. We were all a little groggy loading the car and going through the house to make sure we didn’t leave anything behind. There wasn’t much traffic…

Hi Gram,Today proved to be incredibly rewarding and fun. I woke up early to get my morning routine taken care of, then we all loaded up the car and headed into town to meet up with Wally and around 50 other people for the first Fat FIRE Conference, held in Sydney. I think I was…

Hi Gram,We were up early this morning to go take a day trip north. I woke up around 5 to do my brain puzzles and some of my morning routine before we hit the road at 6am, the sky just starting to lighten up a little from the evening’s slumber. Rob scared us a little…

Hi Gram,Today was a fun day with friends. I woke up and did my morning brain puzzles and went for my morning walk, then Rob, Chris, Carl, David and I headed into the city for some exploration and fun. Three of us went to some tourist shops in a mall while Rob took Chris to…

Hi Gram, I had such a fun weekend, meeting new FI-minded friends, learning from the speakers, and digging into fun and deep conversations. These Aussies know how to have a good time and are all so genuine and kind. On Saturday afternoon, we had a little free time so a group of us went for…

Hi Gram,We landed in Australia yesterday and have been enjoying the country so far. The overnight flight took 9 hours, so I tried to get some sleep. Of course sitting in an economy seat with noise and rumbling all around make that a difficult task, but I was able to get a little shut eye.…

Hi Gram,It’s been a while since my last letter, but you haven’t missed much. Lots of street art and monkeys, trips to Bluport mall for groceries and dinners (I had a salad the other day which aren’t popular street food and thus harder to come by). I’ve been keeping the same schedule every day for…

Hi GramWell, today was my first day back on the ole workout/ fitness horse, and boy are my arms tired! I learned that when you workout A LOT for two months, then spend the next 8-9 months only working out a little bit, the first day back is tough. I woke begrudgingly to my alarm…
