Abbey In Oz?

Location: Santa Monica, CA, USA

So the next journey begins. Yesterday, the mom calls with some very exciting news. See, as she tells it, she was watching Regis and Kelly and KELLY was talking about this job that just sounds FABULOUS. So, I'll go ahead and tell you that my mother suggests that I apply for a fun crazy job, about every.... NEVER! Yes, the mom is definitely always the sensible one encouraging me to keep my good paying steady big kid job. So, that's what I'm doing, or... rather... that's what I WAS doing. Now, I figure, since this was the mom's idea... and she's the LAST person to want me to do something crazy adventurous, this one must be fate. So here goes nothing!

I'm applying for the much coveted www.islandreefjob.com job. The basic summary is that it's a marketing/PR job working for the department of tourism in Queensland to promote tourism in the Great Barrier Reef. Ya, duh... that was enough for me too, but then they throw in cool stuff. Nice salary, amazing 3 bedroom house on Hamilton Island, GOLF CART!!! Plus I get to travel, for a living. I get to write every day, video blog every couple days and just convince people that they want to be where I am. I generally think I'm pretty good at that ;)

So, in an attempt to organize myself for this incredibly tedious application process, I'm moving all of my previous travel blogs and combining them into one massively amazing collection of my travels and experiences. Unfortunately, this is already taking me a long time, so I'm putting this post in as a placeholder until I can catch up to real time.

And yes, of course, I'll keep you updated on the application process as well. So far, I have nothing. The first phase weeds the pool down to 50 (right now I think they're at 5000 uploaded videos and there's over a month left... EEEK!!). So, I am enlisting ideas for the video!! C'mon, be creative!!

Oh, and don't you dare think about applying against me...

XOXO
