In preparation for an upcoming interview, I faced the question, "What is your favourite Google product or tool?"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Two answers come to mind quickly, Blogger and YouTube. It was on further probing of my mind that I realised just how truly useful YouTube is. I've known I've loved the platform for a good few years now, but really it has changed a lot of the things I do in my life. I decided that my main reasons for loving this platform fall under 3 categories.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Number 1. Relatable reality.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm not too sure when reality T.V. first came around, but seeing as Big Brother is in the late teens of existence it must've been around 20 years ago now. Increasingly reality T.V. has grown in popularity with channels such as E! and MTV showing The Hills, Kardashians etc.. depicting real life scenarios, that can be somewhat staged. Even if the shows are all staged, they are meant to represent real life situations. I believe ITV has recently created a channel solely devoted to reality shows called ITVbe showing TOWIE etc..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So when YouTube came along, born from that was amateur content. And this amateur content has proved immensely successful. From my years of watching YouTubers, in recent months one cannot ignore the vlog-style videos. A kind of follow me around, day in the life style video, with many content creators uploading a video each and every day such as the Shaytards.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It has been amazing to watch this style of video grow in popularity and it says something about the content viewers like to see these days. Staged, choreographed and scripted shows still survive, but the real growth is in mundane but real-life content.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhb_KRoNwwg2eGExTYVjrd_gqlxsWXGP8TtVxzE0TWNgRUpB26Zuq3q_XYjF0jhXvEi8alZc21V-AYkxpOhxmdvin6vpYW8JHCyx9eVukKOFAPm8ieDdC7bPKBjs3oJz6hq8asibsAVyfM/s1600/shaytards_0.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhb_KRoNwwg2eGExTYVjrd_gqlxsWXGP8TtVxzE0TWNgRUpB26Zuq3q_XYjF0jhXvEi8alZc21V-AYkxpOhxmdvin6vpYW8JHCyx9eVukKOFAPm8ieDdC7bPKBjs3oJz6hq8asibsAVyfM/s1600/shaytards_0.jpg" height="360" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Number 2. Informal instructions.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Like many people out there, I often struggled to study by putting my head in a book and reading, or listening to lectures, or answering questions in an exercise book. YouTube has opened up a new way of intaking knowledge. A quick search of keywords in the search bar, and one in inundated with options to watch cooking videos, language lessons, knitting techniques etc.. The way in which these videos are structured can vary from taught classes to interactive engagements with the audience.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My favourite kind of instructional video to watch is that of an expert in their field mumbling on about certain scenarios. I find that is what suits me, and where I extract the most relatable and interesting facts or snippets of information for later use. For others, step by step videos take preference. But the learner is no longer subjected to one strict way of intaking information.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Number 3. Politically correct policies.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I happen to know quite a bit about YouTube policies, and how and why they are implemented so strictly. Protection of identity, of minors, of shocking or abusive content, is something we all want for the internet, but what I most admire about YouTube is that they stand firm against corporate or governmental threats in hosting content. It is no secret that YouTube gets into an awful lot of trouble with nations and political parties, but while YouTube profits suffer when they become banned or restricted in countries, they remain firm in their stance as a platform which supports the freedom of speech.</div>

I didn't believe that I was a feminist, or that I aligned myself with those kinds of views.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's an unpopular category of individuals to be associated with dare I say. Feminists, I thought, were those with rash views, annoying ranty Facebook statuses, and constant complaints.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was wrong.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Unfortunately the word feminist has the word feminine in it, which assumes it to be solely about women's rights. A better word might be "genderist" or "equalist".</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A similar faux pas was probably made when Emma and the UN chose the caption "HeForShe", which indicates that the movement is one way. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If we can move past these words, and instead listen to their definition, statements, and missions, then we will align these words with equality for all, as opposed to only women.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A favourite part of Emma Watson's speech was when she described gender on a spectrum. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love this, and I think there are many things in the world that need to be viewed on a spectrum instead of two opposing ideas, gender is one, sexuality is another. In lieu of polarised ideals, lets be realistic and acknowledge difference and minorities.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I first began reading Lean In, I couldn't stand it. I thought to myself, why on earth did the editor allow this book to start with an apology several pages long? Sheryl wrote a disclaimer to everybody about to read the book, and it kind of goes against everything else she wrote in the ensuing pages! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can understand that the book had to make clear several points to avoid upsetting women picking up this book from underprivileged backgrounds, Sheryl did not have such a background, but the apology was far too long and put me off completely. I thought oh god, I don't want to read this woman constantly making excuses for her successes in life.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fortunately, the book itself changed dramatically. It wasn't until I was close to the end of the book that I realised how much I was enjoying it. Since finishing the book, I've decided I like it even more. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I like Sheryl, I admire her, and I want her to write a sequel. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So my advice, don't judge the book by its first chapter. I'm so glad I kept reading, however hesitantly.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lean In is like a longer version of Emma's speech. Well constructed, politically correct, and eager to encompass both men and women in this movement of equality. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My views on feminism have rather dramatically changed and I would urge others to enlighten themselves to the conversation that is both intriguing and affecting you, whether that be directly or indirectly, everyday.</div>

This August is hopefully going to be a pretty busy month because I've got a job interview, a driving test, some friend's birthdays, and of course Electric Picnic at the very end.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Other than those big things, I will be doing my usual part-time work, some research into coding and digital marketing, might film a youtube video, and still reminiscing on renting a modern apartment around Grand Canal Dock.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As for a couple of things I wouldn't mind picking up when I get my first pay check are Hatching Twitter, the book about the founding of Twitter which sounds pretty similar to the Facebook story.</div>
<br />

Another thing on the wish list is that trip to Berlin in September. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have some close friends who are planning a trip over to visit a friend and I have never seen Berlin which almost seems like a crime these days. It sounds like such an exciting city so a few days there wouldn't go amiss seeing as I haven't been abroad in several long months.</div>

Next up is a polypro hula-hoop. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My current hula-hoop does the job, but I am simply outgrowing it and need a lighter and smaller hoop that will make practicing off-body tricks much easier.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Unfortunately they are pretty hard to track down and purchase the right kind. Maybe I will have some luck at a stall in Electric Picnic.</div>

And I think the last thing on my wish list is some accessories for Electric Picnic. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Half the fun of festival life for me is being able to look a bit crazy and release the inner hippy, tree-hugger. So I'll be after plenty of feather headbands and face paints for the festivities this year.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Last night I went to see Boyhood.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had heard a little about it because it was filmed over 12 years using the same actors, so it immediately sounds a little different.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well wow. I can tell you that this is an exceptional movie. In fact, I would go as far to say that it is the best movie I have seen since that of Lone Survivor or Shutter Island, although completely and utterly opposite.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This offbeat story is nothing remarkable, following the journey of a young boy (from the age of 5 to 18) and his family as they grow up in the states of southern America, but it is in the development of the characters that the movie excels.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The story doesn't revolve around any major event, and is both simplistic and realistic in its portrayal of normal family life, so maybe it is this mundane reality of the family journey that makes this movie so refreshing to watch. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjW2UM3X5o5SRrF03w2ggUPrgs6q03PJieGCRA0SDt-rAG2em9ZI3P2M61An980-k_3PTRcXE9SPBnoHu5v1viWf6zG_UwbkfrHR1Pn6MWKKlhqq14vh0Blw_8CMnLlOlBEIms4kMyL_u8/s1600/boyhood.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjW2UM3X5o5SRrF03w2ggUPrgs6q03PJieGCRA0SDt-rAG2em9ZI3P2M61An980-k_3PTRcXE9SPBnoHu5v1viWf6zG_UwbkfrHR1Pn6MWKKlhqq14vh0Blw_8CMnLlOlBEIms4kMyL_u8/s1600/boyhood.jpg" height="412" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The acting is outstanding by all four of the main characters, the mother (Patricia Arquette), father (Ethan Hawke), sister (Lorelei Linklater) and brother (Ellar Coltrane). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I particularly enjoyed the interaction of Coltrane who plays movie's protagonist, and Hawke his father, who have such an amusing relationship over the years which is delivered with perfection. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am excited to see Coltrane play other characters because he does seem to have been born for the camera. There isn't one moment in the movie where you don't believe he is his character, in fact, I wonder if Coltrane was playing himself the whole time and that is why it came so easy to him... I must look it up. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He is so natural in fact that he makes ordinary performances like that of his girlfriend in the film (Zoe Graham) look weak. Fortunately, the three main characters of his father, mother and sister (who is interestingly the directors daughter) are good enough to keep up with Coltrane.</div>
<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Overall, I cannot recommend this movie enough, and feel as though it would have done well in award season if it was released then. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This movie gets a ten out of ten for me, I loved it so much, and despite being lengthy (nearly 3 hours long), I really couldn't get enough. I wanted to continue the journey to find out what happens next and see where this family ends up and how the relationships evolve. Unfortunately if they do decide to do a sequel, it won't be released for another 12 years as they follow Coltrane in his twenties.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It wasn't just me who thought this movie was exceptional because it seems to have gotten a 9.0 from IMDb and 5 stars from The Ticket.</div>

Instead of reaching for my usual trilogy of fantasy novels like Delirium or The Maze Runner series, I've gone for something different that caught my attention.<br />
Although grossly unpopular amongst my friends, I wanted to purchase Niall Harbison's (of LovinDublin) new book, "Get Sh*t done".<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I wasn't looking for a self-help book laden with bad language and fortunately that has not been the case. Having said that, my feelings about this book are mixed, and I think it would have greatly benefited from an extra few months of editing, as the whole book has a sense of been thrown together in a rushed manner, and although the content is mostly interesting, at about 200 pages in I began to notice repetition and even one or two contradictory statements with Harbison's earlier chapters.<br />
<br />
I enjoy the website Lovindublin, but can understand why many really don't care to entertain it, with its harsh critique and "all or nothing" manner. But I do feel it has filled a kind of "yuppie" niche in the blogosphere. Moreover I have used it for restaurant advice and would heartily agree with many of the sites "Top Ten" lists.<br />
<br />
Anyway, to be quite honest, I was curious about this Harbison guy, and why all my friends seem to groan and roll their eyes when I mention his work. So I picked up the book last week, and luckily too, because it is since out of stock.<br />
<br />
Overall the book is an enjoyable enough read, with several interesting tips on creating a business, and many snippets into Niall's earlier life which I really enjoyed. Unfortunately though Harbison loses me with his use of sensational language. Everything is "the best", "the biggest", or "the most something", and although one might fall into his trap several times, it eventually it becomes a bit tiring and takes away from what he is trying to say, which could be perfectly valid, without the need for lavish language.<br />
<br />
Another small thing I didn't like about this book is that Harbison uses few examples following an outlandish statement about the future of business, or success in business. He has done extremely well for himself no doubt, but he backs his guidelines up with maybe only one example from his previous experiences. In the few occasions that Harbison does uses other examples, he only likens to big companies such as Apple or Facebook. As much as I admire both these companies, I already know an awful lot about them, it would have been far more interesting if Harbison had used less obvious shall we say, examples.<br />
<br />
In summary, the book is a quick read, it has some great personal anecdotes and is largely enjoyable. Although it lets itself down with its "thrown together" structure and overall lack of focus and reader consideration, leading me to believe that I probably would not purchase his next book.<br />
<br />

*I haven't been able to find any other blog reviews on this book yet, but will post them here once I do.Cathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12037909769865168197noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3223064678978440585.post-26533496457941414282014-07-07T15:12:00.001+01:002014-07-07T15:12:31.101+01:00Thoughts on apartments.A close friend of mine recently moved into his first apartment from home. I helped a little with the moving process and have got the urge again to leave home again for the third time maybe? I have left and returned already several times with the way things have turned out. But I imagine that the next time I move out of my parents home will be the final time, hopefully in part because of my new full-time exciting job (which I have yet to acquire..).<br />
<br />
Anyway, back to the apartment. I love the moving process! It is an excuse for a minimalist like me to do yet another clear out and rearrange and organise my possessions. My first apartment was in a very old building in a super location, but the block was so old it was impossible to keep dust out, and all the furniture and fittings were ancient.<br />
I heard once that as you move out, you move up.. so each apartment after the next gets better.<br />
The following one was definitely a step in the right direction in some ways because I had my own small studio. It was brighter and less ancient.. and had slightly more modern fittings. Ergo, the fridge was not in the hall.<br />
<br />
Now that I'm finished university, had a near-year away of travel experience, and in search for my first proper job, I feel a share in an apartment is the next appropriate step for me.<br />
Helping Allan out was so much fun, and helped me decide on which area I would like to live in, and realise I do not wish to live alone, though preferably with tidy roommates with impeccable Swedish design taste..<br />
Okay I realise this isn't very realistic. In the past I have been too uptight regards space, cleanliness etc..<br />
But I hope after my time in Australia moving constantly from hostels, dorms and camper vans to tents, that I have chilled out enough to be a suitable roommate candidate.<br />
<br />
Only time will tell, and I realise that I will have to insist on certain things such as a double room and private bathroto keep my sanity and be able to live with others in the communal areas.<br />
So I've been keeping an eye out on Daft.ie for places and on pinterest for some small space design ideas and decor inspiration.<br />
I'm pretty sure my apartment won't look exactly like any of the following pictures, but it's nice to have something to aspire to.<br />

Having finished my last exam on Wednesday, I am left with a feeling of delight, a weight off my shoulders, and excitement about is what to come next.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Unfortunately with possibility, comes uncertainty.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had previously felt as though I needed some more travel to get it out of my system. I thought of finding a job for the summer, paying off my debts, and jetting off again somewhere exotic, new and exciting.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hadn't expected to start to settle back into Dublin. Spending 2 out of the past 3 years abroad, it seems customary to pop back to Ireland for a bit to get my exams, sort out my finances and jet off again. But something has made me want to stay this time. Maybe I'm just simply growing up and crave some certainty in my life. I find myself wanting to commit to a phone contract of two years, move into a nice apartment in a good location in relation to the city and my friends, and most of all I find myself wanting to join teams and solidify a social life for myself here, reviving old friendships.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The wanderlust hasn't totally disappeared, and I do find myself occasionally browsing travel blogs, reminising over old travel photos, or just sending messages to friends in all parts of the world, but the urge to get a fun and rewarding job, move into an apartment with new people and buy a car, has overcome that wanderlust, for the first time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Strange..</div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Byron bay itself is another blogpost of goodness altogether so I won't try to squeeze too much into one.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Simply, it is a seaside town inhabited by primarily hippies, musicians, and every kind of artist you can imagine. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It is a hub for surfers because it is host to several beautiful beaches. The town itself is pretty small with one main street and tons of cafes and restaurants. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The lighthouse, located a bit of a trek up a mountain, is also an attraction because you're pretty much gauranteed to spot pods of dolphins below, and it is the most easterly point of the australian mainland.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I had, like all the best hostels, been recommended to stay at the arts factory, located a ten minute walk from town. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My first week there, I stayed at the hostel itself in dorm rooms, but I was soon to discover the campsite adjoining the hostel.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After a week of forking out a whopping $32 a night in the dorms, I decided I needed to avail of tent-living. A small $100 per week fee. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A guy I had become friends with, gave me a tiny two man tent, which I pitched easily in the first free space I could find.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But within a couple of days I had myself a massive 8/10 man tent all to myself, including a proper mattress on milk crates and a giant tarp to protect my tent form the rain. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Buying and selling tents with their allotted plot and whatevers in them seemed to be pretty commonplace, so I just pretty lucky to come across somebody selling a nice big tent in a prime location because the jungle hut and kitchen/amenities.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In my time in Byron Bay to be honest I really didn't do much. Everyday pretty much consisted of going to the beach, chilling in the jungle hut, playing with hula-hoops, playing table tennis, volleyball, going to the supermarket, chasing bush turkeys, hanging out in someones tent, getting goon for the evening, playing drinking games, and going out.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Whether we were doing something mundane or exciting, even a bad day in Byron Bay was a good day!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> I met such a diverse and cool group of people that it didn't matter what we got up to, it was always fun! I love these people so so much and I miss each and every one of them.</span></div>

So number two on my favourites list of the East Coast is Fraser Island!<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you're a backpacker seriously low on funds, this is the one ultimate trip that you absolutely, under no circumstances can miss.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After weeks of moving from hostel to hostel, eating your meals 3 times daily from the local Woolworths, and generally floating about, it is wonderful to pay a one-off all inclusive fee that sets you up for a couple of days on a brilliant adventure.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are a couple of options you've got when heading to Fraser Island, you can hire a 4by4 with a bunch of friends and head over yourselves, or you can book in with one of the tours that leaves from either Hervey Bay or Rainbow beach.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On my trip I went from Rainbow beach with the company Rainbows on Fraser, which is, if you're familiar, mixed with the Dingo's groups.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The basic idea is that you arrive and spend a night or two at Rainbow beach in the hostels getting organised for the trip. A group consists of around 8 4by4 jeeps which have 8-10 people in each.<br />
<br />
Furthermore the groups of jeeps are then split in two, so you will be going around the island in your car, following 3 other cars.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But at nighttime all the groups mix together in one campsite.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Because of the size of Fraser island there is a lot of ground to cover so its important to get in a good group for your car.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was with my friends Laura and Gemma, but we made the great decision to split into different jeeps, and therefore in the evening we could meet up and introduce all our new friends!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sounds kind of cheesy but it was brilliant!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I may be slightly bias... but I do believe I had the best group in my car.. such a mixture of personalities and we all loved having a good singalong and jokes. needless to say there was never a dull moment in all the hours of driving..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A highlight was definitely the drive to lake McKensie, a pretty famous lake for being so beautiful.<br />
But it does take over an hour to get there on an extremely bumpy off-road track.<br />
<br />
In my jeep, the seats faced one another along both sides of the car and we just had a seatbelt which went across the waist, which as it turns out didn't do too much because for the entire over an hour there and back, we were all falling around the place and grabbing each other and parts of the car, its was pretty hilarious and definitely one of my favourite memories.<br />

Fraser island is host to a number of different beautiful spots but one of the best is Eli creek which is a freezing cold creek that is so powerful it brings you right downstream to the beach.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So if you can bare the cold, you just have to jump in and lie straight on your back like on a lazy river, and let the creek do its thing.</div>

Lake Wabby.</div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the evenings on the island we would all make dinner taking turns cooking or cleaning between the 10 of us from our car. Then the drinking would comense.. there was a big campfire and plenty of goon, and one of the nights we discovered a brilliant german drinking game called flonkeyball, which is very like snatch the bacon except with alcohol.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had the best time on Fraser island and with the group afterwards on Rainbow beach, before we all headed our separate ways.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If I was to go back to the East Coast this is a trip that I would do time and time again, and gets a big A+ and 5 stars from me.</div>

My next favourite was a brilliant 2 hour tour in a spot that some backpackers on the East Coast choose to bypass due to budget or time restrictions is Magnetic Island.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Magnetic Island is located a ferry-ride off of Townsville which is a couple hours below Cairns.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The island houses 2 hostels on either side and a shop or two by the ferry terminal.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've heard mixed reviews about the island, with some people claiming it is boring. I presume they are referring to nightlife-wise due to the lack of bars.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But if you are planning to stop here, try to organise it so that it falls on a full moon. One of the hostels called Base hosts a full moon party every month and when I was there it was crazy and the island was hopping!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Moreover, Base hostel is absolutely stunning, and in a perfect setting... I don't think I could get bored here..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Anyway back to the direction of this post which is.. The koala sanctuary! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The other hostel on the island is a YHA hostel called Koala Village.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is equally as beautiful as Base, but very different because instead of sunning yourself by the pool with incredible views, you really feel like you are living in the aussie bush in small teepee huts, with possums and kangaroos hopping around the place.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
We stayed in both hostels for two nights each and while in the Koala Village we decided to avail of the sanctuary tour which costs $19 (very cheap in relation to other wildlife tours on the East Coast.)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our tour guide was a young girl who knew her stuff and was very comfortable with the animals. She brought us around each of the enclosures and talked us through the lifestyle and habitats of the animals and then proceeded to take them out. We each had a chance to hold the animals and take pictures.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In many of the zoos in Australia you have to pay big bucks to hold crocodiles and snakes etc.. but here in this small, intimate sanctuary, we were able to hold all the creatures we wanted!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was great! We had brilliant fun snapping pictures of each other...</div>

All in all, Magnetic Island is a must-see in my opinion.. especially with this koala sanctuary tour offering a pretty unique Australian experience for next to nothing!</div>

Snorkelling the Great Barrier Reef<div style="text-align: center;">
So in fourth place for my favourites-slash-must see's, is snorkelling the Great Barrier Reef. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now I was lucky enough to do this a couple of times because I spent almost 4 months in Cairns which is the closest harbour to the reef, and the most popular place to do it, but also the Reef is accessible </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
from loads of other different locations along the East Coast as you can see below. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Therefore, I was also able to snorkel on Magnetic Island (off Townsville), and on the Whitsunday's boat trip.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

In Cairns you are pretty much inundated with travel agency reps coming up to you asking if you have dived the reef or snorkelled yet. Even if you can manage to avoid these pesky salespeople then you still can't escape the numerous dive shops, underwater camera shops etc...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cairns pretty much makes its living, it would appear, from the Great Barrier Reef.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are a numerous different companies you can go with ranging in price, reef locations and time spent on the boat.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My first trip was a day trip with Deep Sea Divers which included an introductory dive, unlimited snorkelling, and snacks, lunch and entertainment, all at a cost of $160.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The second trip was cheaper at around $100 but without the intro dive.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's important to know that as amazing an experience seeing the reef is, it definitively is not as colourful as one may hope. Put it this way, it's no Finding Nemo basically. And the visibility can largely depend on the weather. The reason I preferred snorkelling to the diving was that my ears hurt the further we descended. For most people, diving is the most exciting part, but for me snorkelling was more relaxed and enjoyable.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Snorkelling is also fairly easy to get used to, only takes about 5 minutes to get going, and with flippers on its easy to keep up with the fish that you are following.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On both my trips in Cairns I wasn't lucky enough to spot a shark or a turtle. But there are lots of colourful fish, some pretty big ones, and a good few rays hanging about for the most part.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I took a trip on Tongarra, a Whitsundays sailing boat for a few days, we had the opportunity to snorkel several times too. This is another part of the Great Barrier Reef and we visited a little cove nicknamed "the aquarium" simply because there are so many different fish! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You jump in and are immediately surrounded by hundreds. Especially if you take some fish food with you... watch those fingers!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My favourite snorkelling experience was when the boat visited another location called turtle bay, and from the boat you can see these giant turtles surfacing every so often.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Obviously when you are in the water snorkelling around its a little difficult to hear your peers yelling out of the boat for you to "swim here! swim there!" to locate these giant turtles.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But I was lucky enough to be swimming along in one part, where the visibility was quite bad.. and see a large shadow begin to emerge towards me. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was pretty scary at the time actually because all of a sudden this dark shadow becomes larger and larger and gets closer and closer until you bump into a giant turtle! I mean giant! This one had to be around a square metre in size!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pretty darn cool, and as soon as it sees me infornt of it, it glides to avoid me and continues on its way...</div>
<br />
Here are some pictures of what to expect, but unfortunately we were never great with the underwater camera so a lot of the fish escaped our snaps..<br />

Oh Surfer's Paradise...</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to be honest the name is a little misleading. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A more apt name for this city would be Party-animal's Paradise, as everybody here seems to either be celebrating, getting ready to celebrate or recovering from a rather heavy celebration.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Of the eight nights I stayed here, I went out every single one! And I am not even the biggest fan of nightclubs generally, but something about the atmosphere here is infectious, and every night is like a new adventure...</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'll begin with the hostel (linked below) I stayed at which was recommended from some friends and turned out to be a great success.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had left some friends who wanted to stop in Brisbane, but I felt no need to revisit so I hopped on the bus from Noosa to Surfer's by myself and found myself sitting beside a lovely dutch guy who happened to be a game of thrones addict and the journey passed pleasantly as we discussed characters and potential future storylines and twists.. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Needless to say the four hour drive flew by and before I knew it I was at the bus terminal with my bags awaiting the hostel's limousine!</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A very old, but still extremely cool limousine collected me a brought be the 2 minute drive to the hostel. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I liked the place immediately once I discovered it only had around 15 rooms I believe. Furthermore, the rooms were small but 2 or 3 shared a small kitchenette and living area.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To top it all off there was a big tv, a lovely pool with several loungers and a very friendly atmosphere.<br />
(This was definitely one of my absolute favourite hostels during my time in Australia, where everything kind of came together, great location, great atmosphere, easy to make friends, lovely staff, brilliant food.. and the list goes on!)</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Within an hour or two I had made friends with a bunch of girls and we planned to paint the town red that night.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The hostel begins goon-pong every evening (yes EVERY) at about 6pm, which is super early to start drinking games.. but I wasn't complaining!</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Each night the hostel folks bring you to a new club in the city (5 minute stroll) and you get free entry and a free drink, for no extra cost!</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is a brilliant advantage because if you decide to head out yourself club entry can set you back about $10.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So each night generally involved the same routine.. getting ready with the girls for the evening, heading down to chat or join in on the goon-pong, and head out with the hostel crew to a new club.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A couple of my favourite clubs were Sin City, Vanity, Beergarden and Club Liv.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Quite a lot of the backpackers I met on my travels didn't seem to be crazy about Surfer's Paradise. They thought it was tacky and there was nothing much to do during the day.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I would agree with them. But those are some of the reasons I fell in love with Surfers!</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When one is partying all night long, one does not need day time activities.. we only need lots of water, a bit of sun, and a comfy spot at the beach.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As for the tackiness, Surfers is called a city, but there appear to be only a handful of busy streets.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The endless kebab shops, bikini stores and promotional street staff might put some people off but for me it just added to the party atmosphere of the place.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As I previosuly mentioned, I am not at all a major club go-fer, but after not seeing a proper nightclub for several months in Australia, I welcomed these ones full force, its simply nice for a change. The music was pretty good, most drinks are really cheap (from $2 to $6 for vodka mixer), and the clubs were fairly fancy - even Justin Bieber visited Vanity and Sin City while I was in Surfers!</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All in all I probably wouldnt want to stay in Surfers for several months at a time, but for a party week I thought it just hit the spot, and I would go back in a heartbeat!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Home from Australia almost 4 weeks now, and I still often find myself reminising on my favourite bits.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The downside of heading off alone is that when you arrive home you can talk and talk about your trip but nobody quite understands or "gets it" except your travel buddies who could live in any part of the world or are lucky enough to still be over there, living in the magic land.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Therefore I have resorted to talking to myself, and hopefully you too, a potential australian working holidayer?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you are thinking of embarking on this incredible adventure, I have recapped my must-sees of the East coast (by East coast I am going about as far north as just above Cairns and down to Sydney).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Bare in mind that my list might not be in exactly the same order as yours would be, but I have done pretty much all the tourist and backpacker spots along the east coast and might have an idea about what you'd like if you are a travel-enthauasist, animal-loving, party go-er.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I plan on dedicating a blog post to each of my five favourites from fifth up to first position, to be posted over the next week and I will include as many photos and links as I can.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are so many amazing adventures, trips, activities and moments from the East Coast from which I've chosen my favourites, including...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cairns nightlife</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Port Douglas</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cape Tribulation</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Diving the Great Barrier Reef</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Magnetic Island</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Steve Urwin's Australia Zoo</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Surfer's Paradise</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Nimbin tour</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Castaway island</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mojo Surf Camp</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Byron Bay lighthouse</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Whitsundays boat trip</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fraser Island and Rainbow beach</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Noosa national park</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Bondi beach nightlife</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and the list goes on and on...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you do have questions regards any of these east coast trips that might not feature in their own blog post, just message me on berginc2@gmail.com and Ill do my best to answer you :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now for a couple nostalgic photos from my trip...</div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">This day next week will be my last day in Australia!</span></div>
<div>
I'm really looking forward to going home and not living in a hostel for awhile.. But despite being ill at the moment, thanks to some lovely infected ulcers on my legs... Lovely...</div>
<div>
I'm feeling particularly grateful today!</div>
<div>
I have had the best eight months here thank I ever could have hoped for and I'm not sad about leaving because I know that I will be back.</div>

My favourite kind of photos to take are portraits. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
People always seem to like them too, generally because they can provide a decent profile picture. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Also the camera settings generally are flattering on the skin, and with some of these photos I played around with the filters on my iPad.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The other great thing about portraits is that I've got a bunch of pictures of my beautiful friends.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
These guys are some of the friends I made in Byron who I miss terribly..</div>

Wow. So I made a rather big decision yesterday. I had been thinking about it for quite awhile, but over about 24 hours the decision was really made.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My friend Laura from Disney last year is heading over to Australia on the famous working holiday visa on the 22nd of May. We were workmates and roommates, not to mention great friends. We often talked about embarking on this trip last summer, but often those kind of pipe dreams/plans don't materialise.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However... when Laura booked her flight and finalised her plans to head over with or without me, I started to get the aussie bug...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had originally planned to do my exams and head over after maybe learning to drive properly and going on a family holiday..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But as I'm not sitting exams in the end, and have experienced a fast recovery from my operation, Laura, mum and dad have convinced me to head over earlier.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So yesterday, after a quick call to get the green-light from Katie, the perfect outside opinion, I booked my flight and got my visa!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I leave on the 22nd of May, and join Laura in London from where we fly to Hong-Kong and onto Cairns!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I felt a wee bit anxious yesterday, I am definitely still cautious about the decision, but the more research I do, the more confident I feel. Plus, Laura is the ideal travel buddy, great fun, always up for a laugh, super relaxed yet organised and efficient! This is the beginning of a whole new adventure...</div>

What a great night. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It started off in a friend's house having a few drinks, from where we took the venga party bus into town to a party in Dame Lane. Unfortunately, a bouncer in the club found our hidden (under the table) bottles of extra vodka, but at that stage we had probably had enough.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On entry to the ball, I pretty much lost everybody except lovely Dervla who is always great fun. We bopped around for hours bumping into people including the one and only BASTILLE!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We walked in the back entrance to Alunageorge, and right at the back were themselves.. tucked away.. the four of them. I couldn't believe my eyes and immediately headed over.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They couldn't have been nicer, and it was great fun. After awhile we wished them best of luck for the set later on and headed off to dance..</div>

Trinity ball is coming up and I cannot wait! I've only been once a cause de erasmus and rowing, so I definitely had to make it this year.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Talking about styles to wear today with Stephen over coffee got me thinking..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What do I want to wear?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Girls can pretty much get away with anything, whereas guys may not be accepted without suit attire.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My thoughts are going along the lines of hippy, tribal-esk styling.. long maxi skirt with string top and lots of arm bangles and rings and beaded belts...</div>

Browsing around blogs last night I came across a tumbler on Vanessa Hudgens style, and I had forgotten just how well she dresses..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I remember I used to love her style ages ago which was really boho-chic kind of, and now that summer is coming up, and I've actually been considering moving to hotter climate for the year...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Maybe I will actually be able to channel her style!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She seems to have gone far more hippy-ish which is great because I love all that, and I couldn't stop looking up pictures of her outfits for inspiration for when I go shopping for summer gear soon.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also didn't realise that she was going out with the gorgeous Sebastian from The Carrie Diaries!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Another plus.</div>
