A trip of 3 weeks

Hi everyone!!! My name is Christina and I’ve created this blog for sharing with you my 3-weeks trip to Australia. I really love this country! I’ve always wanted to go there, in some ways it was one of my life goals, a dream that finally became true. And as I know how privileged I was to get there, I wanted to share with you my adventure. For those who have already been there, it’ll maybe bring some of your memories back, or just refresh them. And for the other ones who haven’t had the opportunity to get there yet, I hope I could at least share my experience with you !!!

The Plane & the landing

       My trip begun at the moment my feet went on the plane. A twenty hours flight for getting to Sydney’s airport. As I was so excited to get there, I think I really felt the time passing even if I slept during most of the travel. ZZZZZZZZZ

After the plane landed at Sydney-Kingsford-Smith airport,  I joined my new Australian family, and I discovered what was to be my new home for the next 3 weeks.
