11 - Let's start another life

Here I am. After 6 months in the beautiful, nice and laidback Perth, I decided to have a go along the East coast, trying to find a job in a farm to extend the period overseas. Despite of my degree, I’ve worked in Australia as a cleaner and nowadays I began a new challenge in the agriculture field. I need this second WHV and, because of that, I should work in a farm for 88 days as established by the Government of the Kangoroo Land. At the get go, after just two days, everything seems still hidden and I’m about to discover a new world, still unknown.

I left Perth a couple of days ago. I left something that finally I’ve felt mine, a city which day by day was becoming a part of me, cause I used to live it every day, exploring every corner and enjoying every moment with my new friends who I met in this country. When you arrive alone in a other world, a surviving spirit comes up from you, tending to grasp everything that surround you because the first sensations that you’re engaged with, it’s a huge excitement for your new experience but even willingness to meet new people. In other worlds, I was really sad to leave all I built in 6 months nevertheless I think was the right moment to do that. After coming in this Country, I met hell of a lot of people, and this help me to keep going day by day, overcoming the difficulties that every day you can come across. You couldn’t stand the pain and the problems alone, particularly in a country where you can express your idea properly, because of the language, and where you don’t still know how to get along “administrative” situations such as taxes.

Finally, it’s like if you rebuild a little new world around you, making a effort to surround yourself of people who make you happy and comfortable. I believe that most of the travelers, as I am, when they arrive in a completely unknown world, they try to create an environment as much as possible similar to their native town or city where you are from.

It was the perfect moment to make a breakthrough in my Australian experience, trying something different, something which could challenge myself again. Even if I left, as I said, my first Australian world in Perth, I feel ready to spend the next three months focused on get this Visa. It’s the most important reason.

Obviously, the last day in Perth wasn’t so simple as I expected. My friendships with the new people that I met here in Australia are effectively strong, so was hard to leave them. Moreover, I had some problems with my job, cause it seems that someone haven’t accepted my departure yet. And almost twice a day a message has been sent from Perth to Brisbane to know how the things are going in this part of Australia. Basically, the problem consists that this messages don’t appear as the way to express curiosity by the other person, instead they seem a sort of instrument of control, as I lived still there. 

Why is she/he doing that? Good question, but still I don’t know how to answer.
