reunion in perth
I went to a boat party in Thailand alone and met three beautiful Australian girls that invited me to join their holiday.
For the next five days, we explored waterfalls and beaches, crashed one scooter, and danced until daylight at the famous Full Moon Party.
Six weeks later, I flew to Perth on my first stop in Australia. My travel buddies welcomed me into their homes and took me to cycle in stunning scenery, snorkel in the clearest blue waters, meet the always-smiley quokkas, and explore hip markets in Freo - where I got a run-down on how to look Australian (scrunchy + sundress ✓).
I've been jamming to George Ezra in the weeks leading up to Australia:
"I'll be riding shotgun underneath the hot sun, feeling like a someone..."
As Alicia drove me along the coast next to a white-sand beach and blue skies, the song came on the radio. We sang along as I marveled at a moment that felt straight out of a movie.
