It turned out they were right. The moment I stepped out of the airplane I felt totally at ease. It felt like coming home, never knowing what home was before. Of all places, as I am not particularly fond of concrete, at Brisbane airport my heart was stolen.
From that moment on it didn't really matter what I would do or where I would go from there. I was in Australia and that was enough. But of course in a years time a lot can happen and so it did. Looking back at this year now, 10 years later, I still find it one of the happiest in my life.
