Reflection of the Christmas season
So I can’t believe what this last 4 weeks has brought me.. I’ve gone from a hot dry dessert lifestyle melting in the heat, having roos casually hopping through the street we live upon daily, an environment i’d never known in such a way until living in west Queensland for nearly 6months. To finishing this week with a snow filled and very traditional Austrian trip, making log fires for showering and dinner every evening after a long day skiing, living in a cabin in the mountains with only solar power to give us limited light source every day, candle light being the main source we relied on in the early mornings and night times. Taking each person at least 10 minutes to get all the layers on ready to brave the cold, under the wintery warming garms. Not to mention all the prep it takes for skiing and getting to the top of the mountain on the slowest lifts known to man. But its all in the life of living in snowy conditions, on the flip side looking back at dessert life you just throw on whatever because by the end of the day you’ll have had at least 3 showers and the air con will be the biggest god send you could have ever hoped for. I must admit I enjoyed both contrasting experiences fully and I couldn’t choose between the two! They both have a charming and raw way about life the back to basics kind of dynamic. The type of life you may wish for or dream of experiencing when coming from where I have, a suburban city 20 minutes shy of London. It’s crazy the difference in places we’ve traveled over such a short time with the drastic change of environments, It just shows how the world is made up of such complexity and sonder. (There’s that word again, relating back to my first entry.) I would obviously recommend to anyone the experience of traveling to polar opposite places only because it’s fun to see the difference and to enjoy what the world has to offer in all its rainbow glory.
