and here just a blub from a freshly hatched platypus

hello hello,
just sitting at work being bored so thought I'll just say hi to y'all.
I am a 25 year old colourful female born who just left their comfy nest about 2 years ago.
right now I am in Australia but my visa runs out and I'll be going to Indonesia and over Flores to East Timor (Timor Leste) and maybe the wind will carry me over to Papua I don't know yet. maybe anyone has awesome things that I need to see over there or someone I need to meet.

cheers

Are you from the states or Australia? I'm very interested in visiting Australia and would definitely appreciate any advice! Of course if you have any questions about the site please let me know, and welcome!

I am originally from germany yeah just hit me with questions about australia, been here for a year now haven't seen that much but have heaps of nice friends around.

Do you work over there? Is it hard to find work there without being a citizen?

yeah i am over there on a work and travel visa and no it's not hard to find work, but mostly it's 'shitty' work like dishwashing or fruitpicking or bartending. but the dumpsters are great and the bigger cities like melbourne and sydney have a good amount of squats so you can live pretty good on not too much money (though alcohol is incredible expensive )
