okay, i've never travelled. i've been to queensland (omg! 
), and a couple of very small portions of nsw. i've also been to the act, but that hardly counts 
still, i'm pretty confident that i will not be living the rest of my life in australia. in fact, it wouldn't surprise me if i'm out of here within the next ten years, never to return (at least, not in any permanent kind of status).
don't get me wrong, i love australia. i'm sports mad, all of my friends are here (obviously), i love my university, and i love the friendliness of most of the people here. i even love the fact that i multiculturality is increasing, too.
but there's not enough *depth* of culture, i don't think. a lot of people probably already know that i'm becoming more and more obsessed with france lately, and i could really see myself ending up there. i love the country's appreciation for the arts, and the fact that intellectuallity is actually encouraged as a mainstream ideal (as opposed to here).
new york is probably where i'm more likely to end up, purely for the fact that the place is imbued with so much of *everything*. music, film, fashion etc. it's all there. i'd love to be stuck in the middle of it.
maybe one day (hopefully after a succesful career in either of those locations), i might retire comfortably to canada too. the liberal ideals of that country also appeal to me, and though they're not quite so "cultured" as (some of) the states or france, it would be a nice place to end up. well, there or the french countryside.
so are you an aussie for life? do your jet-setting dreams only amount to a wish to travel, or are you gonna stick it out somewhere? are you willing (or do you anticipate so) to change your mind - perhaps you like australia for now, but having not seen the rest of the world you might change. this is only a fairly recent development for me, but moreso because i've just never considered it than anything else...
