Today I opened up my memory box for the first time in years and found my travel diary. It was so much fun looking back over my memories and laughing at myself. I always had a diary when I was younger and I shared everything (and I mean everything!). So I thought I would share some of it with you. Here is an exert from the 3rd March 1998:
Today Jodie & I went on a mission to find Matt. From here we caught a train to Meiringein then trapsed around the village wondering where the hell to start but then the freestyle office looked good ....
I won't continue as the way I wrote is terrible and boring!
So what was I doing on the other side of the world in a tiny snow town in Switzerland? I had not long arrived in Switzerland on my European adventure and Meiringein was where I was meeting an American skier (who shall remain nameless, there must be more than one American skier called Matt) that I had fallen for and had a brief relationship with in Australia. I was working at Mt Buller and he was there to compete in the World Cup Aerials competition.
Yes I know I know I can hear you now thinking it - "She left home to meet a boy", what happened? Exactly what you would expect happened, we had a few weeks of travelling while he competed and had a great time then he had to go home and I was on my own. All over red rover. I look back now and wonder what the heck I was thinking!! But I would do it all over again because the next few years were some of the best adventures of my life!
