Skydiving, Snorkelling, Surfing and Sailing
Hello once again from the land down under! Laura, Caylee and I have been exploring all over Australia for the past two weeks. We’ve gotten to see Airlie Beach, Whitsunday Islands (with the beautiful Whitehaven Beach) and Byron Bay (a nice surf town and home to Chris Hemsworth). Through our travelling, we have gotten to meet lots of people from all over the world and it has been an incredible experience so far. We have also done some pretty neat things, such as skydiving, snorkelling, sunset sailing and surfing!
In our last post, we had mentioned that we haven’t seen much wildlife here yet. That has thankfully changed! Some of the wildlife we have encountered include kangaroos, spiders and a singular snake. We also had the opportunity to see some whales breaching, sea turtles, jellyfish, dolphins and much more oceanlife.
As for an update on our blue cards, we had recieved them shortly after the last blog post. However, the students are on their two week term break, so we haven’t gotten any opportunity to teach within the classroom yet. We will be starting the new semester with the students tomorrow (October 4th), and we are both excited and nervous to get back into the classroom and teach.
Below are some pictures of the places we got to visit the past two weeks.
Looking forward for the weeks to come and creating new experiences,
Ashley, Laura and Caylee.
