In 2007 I was 22 years old, had just finished uni and had a huge European adventure planned. The day after my graduation ceremony I got on a plane, landed in Rome and travelled around Italy. After a few months I washed up broke in London, ready to start my work holiday visa.
It was the classic Aussie plan: do some temp work, live cheaply and travel as often as possible. By mid-2008 I’d been in London for a year and had saved up enough money for one last big Euro summer jaunt before heading home to Australia.
