FARM REsearch

Short introduction.
After being arrived in sharehouse and have met my housemate, I had to wait 3 days (til Monday) for start the research of farm job.
Fiona, the owner of 11 sharehouse in Mareeba, find us a lift from two korean girls and in early morning (woke up at 5:30am) we went to the first farm, the biggest: Howe farm.

From the CITY into the WILD

Short introduction.
My flight was on Thursday 5th of April from Melbourne Tullamarine and I arrived in Cairns at 7pm. From the Airport I getting in city center by bus and started to looking for a hostel ('cause I didn't booked anyone, like a real backpacker ahahah).

Cairns is pretty nice, it remember me a little bit Viareggio, in Toscany: it is small, close to the sea and lot of beaches in all sourround. That night I was lucky because in Esplanade there were live music so I enjoyed my time.

The morning of 6th April I had the bus to Mareeba at 8:45am from Cairns central.
One hour and half to get there. This means that is very very very very far away from civilizations.

CHANGE my WAY & happy EASTER

It is official: I'll go to Cairns!!
I think that the city of Melbourne has gave me neither a taste of the real Australia and for this reason I'll take another direction.
I need to change my lifestyle, I'm sure that Australia is full of opportunities and I cannot stop myself here in the city! Melbourne is big and crazy and I like it, probably I'll come back.
Now I need something different, that's it.
From Melbourne I bring with me my faults, my silences, my tears, but also my joys, my laughs and the great time spent with great friends.

"Bye bye Melbourne, I'll come back later! "

So my next destination will be Cairns!! :DD I'm ready like the first time from Milan to Melbourne ahahah is a new restart in all the ways. Melbourne was my trial, Cairns will be my revenge!
New places, new friends, new jobs (pretty sure farms, never thought about it when I was in Italy).

For this trip I bought a big backpack like a real backpacker around the world ahahah and now I'm waiting for Thursday 5th April.

Yesterday was Easter and I spent it with friends. It was very strange because was the first time that I celebrated Easter not in family. Or better: not with my OWN family but with another kind of family:):)  A family made by emotional bond, not by blood. A temporary family because nothing is sure here and have fun in those moments is the better way to take care of your heart.

This is another kind of family :) :)

Marta e Barbara; Charles, Rocìo, Trini e Christian the crippled chilian guy, Nelson, Matias, the varesotti crew: Andrea, Giulia e Luigi; Nana from Japan, Marcello, Carmine ed Elena; Britta, Michael the chinese guy, Prateek, Aun; the Bari's guys: Francesco ed Enzo. Thanks to everyone who made my first Melbourne experience greatful and unforgettable.

Gosh, is only one month and half that I'm here, it seems passed so much time.
And I haven't seen anything yet!! xD xD

We lost a JOB in a hopeful place

Weekly post!
Bad news -.- I am fired from DOC pizza e mozzarella. I'm again without a job.
It's not a big deal, I think that everythings happen for a reason. In this period I felt vey very confused so this is like a sign. I've been here in Melbourne one month and half, but everything is like blocked.

When I was in Italy I didn't thought that everything in here should be ok, I was prepared to fall down, but also to restart from my ashes.
And maybe my next step will be not in Melbourne.
I think to move me away from the city (as I said two post ago), probably Queensland (cause autumn and winter are coming and the north is warmer than south), probably farms.
Who know? Maybe I'll come back in Melbourne in its summer and looking for internships or attend the motion graphics course by Jumbla Academy. I will never stop myself to say that everything change here. We must have flexibles minds and take the best from people we meet and spend time with.

I had my check out from the hostel on friday 23rd because the Grand Prix. I slept at friends house for 2 night and then I came back here (now I'm in the hostel). It was pretty strange left the hostel because in here I shared so much experience with other guys and backpackers, so I felt a little bit sad. Hostel's life could be funny, but when you see everyone leaving it, a lot of column around you fall down and you must restart again.

In all this chaos there was a joy: on friday evening I went to an argentinian party for a friend's birthday (Matias, 29years old). It was very funny, I love latin music and latin party ahahah

Please be patience with me, next week I'll try to be not so sad and not to repeat my feelings about bonds with other guys here ahahah

Stay tuned:):) this adventure is only at the beginning

We found a JOB in a hopeful place

HALO! :):)

What happened this week?

I was very very worried about job and how to find it, were three weeks that I’m looking around CBD and suburbs (Fitzroy, Carlton, South Melbourne, Brunswick and others) but no one answer.

I thought also to move me around (Geelong for example), but finally on Monday I received a call from DOC Pizza e Mozzarella, in Carlton. They asked me if I was available for a trial on Tuesday evening and obviously I said “YES, PLEASE GIVE ME A JOB!!”  xD

So I went to Carlton and I had my second trial after two weeks. It wasn’t so bad :)

They called me the day after and they gave me another chance on Thursday, Friday and Saturday at lunch.

I think I’m in the team because the manager sends me my work’s hours for this week.

I’m so proud of myself ahahah

On Friday I went to St Kilda beach as well. The sunset was very beautiful.

(I know that last week I already posted a sunset photo, but no one is the same as others, believe me)

I don’t know what will happen in next days, weeks or months, but when you see those colours nothing matters. Here doesn’t exist any plan, you just have to live day by day.

I’ve renew my accommodation in Greenhouse Backpackers, til 23rd Friday, meanwhile I’m looking for a share house or room for rent.

News next week!
