It has arrived, our one year (+ 1 week and 2 day) anniversary of living in Australia! For me, it's an expat-anniversary, something to be celebrated. I arrived in Australia in fashion: a wheelchair through customs after an all-expenses-paid business class flight (thank you again Columbus Travel Insurance). Though I don't recommend trying to use the bathroom on an airplane with crutches, a LOT harder than it looks.
So now I give you these special moments from the past year:
Best: Walking without crutches after only 3 weeks of physio.
More challenging: Trying to paint the ceiling of our flat with a wet roller, and more broadly, trying to paint the whole flat in 2 days.
Favourite country visited: Between a road trip to the Rocky Mountains/Grand Canyon/Santa Fe, Eastern Europe by train, West Africa by overland, and South East Asia by bus? It was a tie. Croatia and Saravejo. (MacBoyfriend said Romania, just FYI.)
Most rewarding: Running on the treadmill.
Perhaps there's a bit of a theme developing here...it's a bit obvious to say, but I am thankful for all that I am physically able to do. I know there are more categories, but don't really think the answers would stray too much from this theme. If there's any other categories you would like to propose, please feel free. Otherwise, stay tuned for some favourite pictures to go with the theme.
