Roughly 3 years after departing for Australia I have arrived back in good ol’ Ireland. It feels a bit strange to not be travelling anymore but waking up in the morning and not having to worry about checking-out or dragging massive bags around the place is a huge bonus. I was absolutely wrecked in Thailand so it’s really great just to relax at home and recharge for a while. I’ve spent the last week stretched out on the couch watching dvds and eating 15 home-cooked meals a day. Excellent stuff.

Everyone keeps asking if I miss Australia and it’s difficult to give an acceptable answer. I spent 3 years there so of course I miss the place. I made good friends, had some great times, and yep even the Australian winter is probably better than the irish summer. But I’m also glad to be home. It feels good to be with my family again and meeting my friends down at the local pub swapping stories about the last few years is just priceless.

I do reckon that I’ve outgrown Kerry a little bit though. I think that I need the pace of the capital to keep me going for another bit so I will be moving to Dublin as soon as I can get a job sorted out. Which is pretty exciting as even though its the capital, I haven’t a clue about the place really.
