Lieke’s travels 2022-2023

  February 7th: Time for a new adventure! Today it was finally time for my new adventure in Southern Cross. I’m gonna work for a hotel here called ‘Palace hotel’. I need to finish a few more days of my 88 days and this postal code counts for this and I am also gonna save a little more for the rest of my travels to New Zealand and wherever else I wanna go to. I walked around the city after checking out at the hostel and I met Sanne down stairs. We walked together and later went back to the hostel and I waited for a message from Liz, the manager, to pick me up. She arrived around 1 PM and seemed very nice. Apparently she’s Irish which now clarifies the different accent I noticed while talking to her on the phone. The drive to Southern cross took about 4 hours from Perth. We talked a lot and it wasn’t awkward at all which I was very pleased about. After helping her getting all the stuff from the car she showed me around the hotel and brought me to my hotel room which I’m gonna stay in...

  January 7th: Back in Adelaide after 9 months! Last night I finally arrived in Adelaide after a 2 hour delay and not sleeping 3 nights in total… I had to wait to check in at the hostel so I waited and then this idiot decided to go for a run.. I know. Who does that after not sleeping for 3 days…? Me? 7 km it was for today, cause then I accepted I was too tired to run further. I took a shower and felll asleep like a baby so fast. Apparently my roomies tend to be really quiet as they didn’t want to wake me up. So sweet! When I woke up my Dutch friend Dara (who I met in San Francisco) asked me if I wanted to go for a drink with a group other Dutchies. My body told me ‘no’ but my mind said ‘YAS’, so of cours I went. What a craziness… It was so much fun!  Even though the club wasn’t a big success, we made the best out of it all together!  January 8th: Beach Please! Sunday I started the morning again with a run and I ran 12 in this time. So beautiful the nature around here! Aft...
