I am an Australian Arts/Law student who is beginning to follow her dream of flight. This year I have found myself with healthy savings and fairly few outgoings, and decided it was a perfect opportunity to reverse that situation by spending all of my savings very quickly.
This blog will be a record of the highs and lows of this adventure. I hope that if others stumble upon my blog it will be both interesting and informative. For me, it is a way of documenting my lessons and my feelings, and recording my memories of flight training.
This is, I hope, the beginning of a lifelong adventure.
