Station wagon camper adventures begin

so I bought a station wagon camper. Since I got here I was dreaming of getting some sort of camper. Dreams do come true when yA work hard to achieve them :p initially when I went to go get the camper there was something wrong with it so I actually stayed at this couples place for the night ( who were extremely accomodationg ) until the vehicle was fixed. I had no where to be so I just hung out talked to them and took th time to enjoy the part of Sydney I was in which I wouldn't have discovered otherwise . After some beers and pizza that night we wake up the next morning and within few hours the car is running perfectly again and I am off on a new adventure. Where should I go I wondered. I followed signs towards blue mountains and on the way I enede up staying and sleeping the night in went worth falls. I found a secluded car park and was lucky enough to be within 30 min from an amazing lookout in the morning to see a beautiful sunrise in the mountains. After some Breaky I went on and early morning trek which was amazing. There was no one else on the trails so I got to really enjoy the beauty I was surrounded by. Once I reached the falls I went into the extremely cold water Which was very refreshing. ( probably because I hadn't showered haha).
i feel a different kind of freedom with this camper. Being able to turn off whenever I want, sleeping wherever I want. It is amazing.
So as the new year approaches I want everyone to stop making new year resolutions. Everyday you are presented with many opportunities to put you in any direction you want to go. You don't need any special occasion to change the way things are going in your life. I celebrate everyday as if it's New Years because everyday is amazing and with so many opportunities constantly presenting themselves, I am able to create many new  and awesome experiences. Along the way always meeting new and inspiring people as well. This is my last post of the year so I Wish all my wonderful friends family and amazing girlfriend happy holidays and great new year.
Just a little positivity from a quote I always look back to when things are rough . " everyday may not be good but there is always some good in everyday."

Katoomba

The last couple weeks have been fairly chill working at this low key hostel in Wollongong, going to the beach and obviously keeping up with my physical activity. It has been really cool finding new ways to stay in shape while travelling. Running in the beach, using outdoor facilities to do some circuit training, hiking and bouldering at the climbing gym.
I was having a great time in the gong and had great experience working at the hostel for three weeks but I woke up one day and felt like I needed a change so I packed my stuff got on a train and headed off to katoomba in the blue mountains. I came to a hostel called flying fox which lets ya pitch your tent in the back which instantly caught my attention. After arriving and pitching my tent I met a bunch of amazing like minded people right away. Lots of hikers and climbers who are very outgoing and super chilled out. It's only been two days since I got here but I already feel at home and have met some people that I will keep in touch with throughout my travels to go on many adventures!
There was a really good lesson I learnt the last couple weeks. Sometimes in the gong I felt I wasn't living up to my potential and surrounded by enough energy and positivity to keep me going. Once I felt that way I followed my heart to try something new. If that didn't work I would keep moving until I was satisfied. The lesson: keep striving and achieving to not only do better for yourself but to put yourself in situations to be surrounded by the energy and positivity from others. Positivity is very contagious and can make your life much more enjoyable and happy:) keep spreading the joy my friends. Love :)

Mt solitany kedumba valley circuit

This was a three day 33 km circuit starting and ending in katoomba. It was my first multi shortly after I arrived in Australia so I didn't want to do anything to long as I needed to ease into it. So many feeling of excitement and some nerve as I didn't know what type of terrain to expect.
When I first began the walk I ran into a lady from Malaysia that was doing the same circuit so she joines me for the first 7km then we parted as she camped out and I kept going. The beginning was rather easy but after that to get up mt solitary was some hand on scrambling which was a bit tough with my heavy pack on. Although, this didn't phase me to much as I was embracing this hike every step of the way. A few hours later I arrived at china mans gully, my first campsite. It was a beautiful spot with many caves around and great lookout right around the corner. Next morning I woke up to guy appearing out of the bush telling me he got lost and had to sleep next to a tree that night. I had heard about people getting lost in blue mountains to but to witness it was a bit scary. This guy had great attitude and after I gave him some water and a muesli bar and some direction we went our own ways.
The next couple days were awesome as I ran into only thatone person and was able to be alone the whole time. This was very good as it gave me lots of time for self reflection and appreciation of my surrounding. Sometime I would stop at a lookout point sit down and just think about how beautiful everything was and I am so grateful to be there. This trek brought me back into a mindset of how the simple things in life bring the most pleasure . Material item come and go but experiences that are created last a lifetime :)

It's only been a month since left home but a lot has happened. I have went travelling before but it's very different now. I have veered away from the party seen and am in a mindset of doing a lot of exploring in new places that I have never been. In order to do this I really had to get outside my comfort zone. Picking up my backpack with all my gear going on a  three day hike in the blue mountains, a place I have only been to couple times, was nerve racking. Was I going to get lost? Have I developed my skills enough to this? Well as it turned out I was more then ready. It's really just a matter of not questioning yourself and going with your instinct in what you feel is right and make you happy. We all strive in pursuing happiness and know what provides that happiness yet we always walk away from opportunities that are presented. Why? Well we tend to get in a zone of comfort rather easily. When things are going great and easy why not keep going that direction right ..? NO ! When things are good and easy you have to continously find ways to push yourself and get outside of what your good at. It won't feel right at first but the feeling of accomplishment later  is undescribable. I find myself looking out for other people while travelling that will help me do this on a daily basis. This is extremely helpful for the few times when I am feeling unmotivated.
So far I have zero complaints and loving the life I live. I am working for accomodation at a hostel and whenever an opportunity presents itself I leave and go explore. All this alone time (hiking travelling around etc) has strengthened me mentally and physically.  Self development is key as if you don't learn love yourself and feel comfortable alone you won't ever be able to build a legitimate friendship or bond with anyone else as you will always feel insecure. Overall I am going in the direction I want with my life. Taking life day by day not looking back unless it's going to help me improve on what I am about to do and not looking to far forward so I can appreciate everything I am doing and the beauty I am surrounded by. Safe travels and adventures to all :).
