On The Road...

Oh how long its been and how much has happened!

I left Perth on Saturday and got the train to Armadale with the intention of hitting the Albany highway to hitch somewhere, anywhere! After a long train journey and a lovely flurry of texts with my sister and a delve into the book she gave me, I arrived and lugged my 3 bags out of the station. One guy saw me looking at my phone is exasperation as it's GPS was playing up and asked me where I wanted to go. He pointed me the right way and I set off in the heat. Already sweating! After ten minutes of walking I arrived at the hitching spot and parked my gear. Literally after 2 minutes someone pulled over and told me he was driving to this restaurant he owned near Wagin in a small town called Dumbleyung. Naturally I enquired about a job and – after 2 months of strenuous job hunting – he mentioned a part time position in his restaurant/hotel as washer up. Food and accom included for about 2 hours work a day! Things really fell into place and after starting this book I was becoming more and more spiritually aware and open. The universe was thanking me. Telling me I was on the right path.

So after 3 hours of driving (and almost overheating the engine) we arrived at this cute little place in the middle of nowhere. Perfect, after a city overdose!

There were a few complications as some weren't too keen on such spontaneity but he was the boss, the manager afterall so he had the final word. I am now typing in my room. A beautiful, cosy room near the balcony. I am so thrilled and at peace with everything. I am ready now.
