Noodles On My Ears

I'm 24 and an Austra-Engla-Canadi-merican who loves anything to do with France... I know, I'm a tad confused as well.

This would be the life.

20 years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that... men will still say, 'This was their finest hour.'

Why I am only "sort of" an Australian

Although I was born in Australia, you wouldn't know it if you just met me. My life has been a tad on the nomadic side and I wouldn't change it for the world. I mean, it's all I have ever known. Travel, living different places—it's a part of me. That's why I am only "sort of" an Australian, because really, I am a hybrid, a mixture, an amalgamation of all the places I have lived. And since my maximum time in a country is around the 7.5 year mark (although I am about to surpass that), here's the breakdown of where I have lived.

United States - 7 years, 6 months and counting Canada - 7 years, 5 months Australia - 3 years + 1 year, 6 months England - 3 years, 10 months

So that's why I have an American accent. I wonder if when I move I can manage to acquire a hybrid accent? Only time will tell :)

Travel, in the younger sort, is a part of education; in the elder, a part of experience.

And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.
