Other side of the world
Two songs for me;
The one that started it all for me was Newton Faulkners - Dream Catch Me... This was playing when my mate and I were still pissed from the night before and booked our first big travels to new zealand and fiji. Everytime i hear it it takes me back to travelling round the south island and fiji doing random stuff and getting pissed up with random people along the way.

For the second, a bit of background of me. Im a bit of a wuss, always did things on the safe side etc... but after the trip mentioned above i thought "fuck it" several months after getting back i had quit my job, sold my stuff and bought my one way ticket and visa, i was on my way to start a new life in New Zealand.
Then one day I was on my way to work on the north shore, it was 6.30am i was on a bus going over Auckland harbour bridge, the sun was coming up over Rangitoto and the harbour and city was bathed in orange/pink light... it was a beautiful sight.
Plain White T's - Hey there Delilah came on my ipod, for me its a song about hope and whats to come and I sat back in my seat and realised I had done it... really done it... I had done something I never thought I would be able to do. I was on the other side of the world, on my own, starting something new.
Over a year later and im still loving every day!
