Its really hard to sum up how I m feeling right now. I find myself in a downstairs dungeon of an Internet cafe in Auckland. Yes, that's right, Auckland, New Zealand. It is months since I have written this blog, but that does not mean that I haven't had things to write about, because I have. So, I am in Auckland , alone, but not lonely. Well, maybe a little, I do miss home and in four days I am returning home after five months away in the southern hemisphere.

In an attempt to get away from my lazy and monotonous job-hunt that had plagued me through September and October, I upped and left; packing my bags and booking a flight to Sydney, Australia on the 19th November. Sydney was full of adventures and fun-times, a memorable and worthwhile trip of nearly 5 months before returning home via ten days in New Zealand.

I kept a diary rather than an online blog during my time away and in the posts that follow this I will document that life and times of an Englishman in Sydney!
