Patience has never been one of my virtues. Even as a kid I wanted immediate action and immediate satisfaction. What? You want me to wait until another day to go buy a new favorite toy? I’m not doing anything, and you’re not doing anything… let’s go now. It’s just the way I’ve always been, and it is a quality that… Read more

This stack of papers was a complete pain in the ass to put together. It took weeks of gathering, printing, questioning and writing.
This stack of papers is official. There are medical records, police records and certified copies of passports and birth certificates thrown into the mix.
This stack of papers is personal. Conversations I never thought anyone else would

Hey, New Zealand, I’m Just Not That Into You
It’s like the tourism Gods were punishing me. Last Wednesday at pub trivia, I let my true feelings about my upcoming trip to New Zealand… Read more come out. See, New Zealand and I have a relationship that is based on convenience rather than passion; it’s never really been on my list of places to see, and believe me, there are very

International Relationships: Does someone always lose?
In a recent discussion with friends that have foreign partners, it came up that someone always has to lose in an international relationship.
I guess this post is a little near and dear to my heart seeing how I’m in an international relationship, and I sure do know quite a few foreign girls that are currently residing in Australia because… Read more

I'm brookevstheworld on HubPages!
I found another place to hang out online and it’s called HubPages. Honestly, I like to write. I enjoy it, it calms me and it keeps my thoughts occupied instead of thinking about the countless amounts of unknowns present in my life. I feel as though I have a lot of useful information that I can divulge, but by doing… Read more

From Auckland to Sydney
I’m back in Sydney and finally getting myself settled and situated after my short hop over to New Zealand. I spent my time solely on the north of the north island on this trip – mainly because I was concerned I was going to have to make a doctor’s appointment to get my visa. Besides what I’ve already written, I… Read more

Visa Woes
I changed my flight.
Remember how in my last visa post I talked about wondering if a week would be enough time? Well, I had to make a decision yesterday and I didn’t think it would be sufficient.
In spite of the research I had done asking many other people how long it took to get their working holiday visa… Read more

On Love & Hate: A Weekend in Pest
I have been sitting on this one for about a week now and decided to go ahead and post. About seven weeks ago, I made a blog post about struggling with goodbyes… Read more. I wasn’t particularly straightforward about the situation at the time, but while in the Baltic countries, I did meet someone I thought was really special… and of

What the hell are you doing?!
I don’t know! I just really don’t know what I’m doing back here in Kaz-Stan, or Central Asia for that matter. When I booked a month for home it was just so cost-effective to get a round-trip ticket that I couldn’t pass it up. Plus that meant I could store some things with friends in Almaty (my super cute red… Read more
