Australia - Adelaide to Sydney (January/February 2016)
Welcome to Australia. Visiting Australia was never a question. Jesper spent a semester in Melbourne back in 2004 and Line visited him there for 16 days. We both fell in love with Australia's unique combination of an open and relaxed culture, beautiful nature and a fantastic climate. On several occasions we have discussed moving there to work for a few years but with both of us wanting to work, it has proven difficult with 2 kids and not nearly the same opportunities for daycare as in Denmark. We will touch down in Adelaide on January 4. and drive in a camper-van along the coast up to Sydney (maybe further north also) during our 5 week stay until we leave on February 8th for Hawaii.
