Beautiful Melbourne!
Hi guys! I have not posted in a while so here goes!
Its been two weeks since I landed in Melbourne town
and its been a busy 2 weeks!
First and foremost I want to say the city of Melbourne
is visually stunning. The first time I walked into town
I was struck by its amazing energy and beauty! I saw trams
horses and yellow cabs rushing past Flinders st (main train station).
Straight away I felt that this city was special and felt like home almost instantly! The buildings are architecturally stunning, big sky scrapers and shopping areas make it a place to be!
I've been walking all around the city and have seen so much of Melbourne already: Fitzroy, Chappel Street, Flinders Street, Bourke Street and many more streets! ;) So far I LOVE south Yarra area, fabulous boutiques for clothes shopping as well as amazing cafe's and sexy bars! If you were lucky enough to come to Melbourne please visit this area as its alot like London minus the bad pollution and masses of people pushing and shoving you out of the way!
My friends back home know i'm a party animal and as soon as I got of the plane the next evening I was out and about thanks to my wonderful friend Fabrizio! Partying that night in a place called 'The Peel' was an experience I tell ya that! Crazy drag queens and many drinks later meant I had a hangover for days... ooops! :P
One thing I really want to spread the word about is the VIBE in Melbourne town. Coming from a busy city like London where people on the underground seem almost suicidal (slight exaggeration but you get me!) I can honestly say this city has a good positive and laid back vibe and guess what most people smile at you when you make contact! This chilled out vibe of 'no worries mate' took a few days to get used to but actually I love it and I'm becoming more chilled as a result which is never a bad thing!
To conclude my journey thus far; I have partied, walked loads and loads, seen many cool spots in Melbourne town, reconnected to old travel friends Svet, Fabrizio and others, already shot with one of Australia's top fashion photographers Peter Coulson (http://www.peter-coulson.com.au) had job interviews, OH and its my birthday tomorrow so turning a year older in a beautiful place with great people isn't so bad!
Note to my London friends and family: I F***ing miss you all with all my heart and soul and i'm only a Skype or Viber call away!
