Australia wasn’t just a trip. It was the one that proved bucket lists are worth building. About 11 years ago, I spent a month there and packed in a lifetime of firsts:
✔️ Snorkeled for the first time in the Great Barrier Reef 🐠
✔️ Swam and played in the ocean water almost every day 🌊
✔️ Hugged a koala at a sanctuary 🐨
✔️ Hand-fed kangaroos like it was completely normal 🦘
✔️ Did an ocean swim from beach to beach for the first time 🌊
✔️ Stood in front of the Sydney Opera House in disbelief
✔️ Ate Kangaroo and crocodile meat on a pizza 🍕
✔️ Went sandboarding in the desert 🏄
✔️ Went parasaling in the ocean 🪂
✔️ Drove on the wrong side of the road and somehow survived 😂
Some destinations just hit different. Australia was that one for me.
👇 Drop a 🦘 in the comments if Australia is on your bucket list, or tell me your one destination that changed you.
