CURRENT MISSION

Survive a working holiday in Australia with all my wits and bank accounts in tact.

ABOUT ME

I'm Allie. I'm 23. I'm going on a working holiday in Australia to have some funtimes and figure out what I want to be when I grow up.

PHILOSOPHY

"There are people who drive luxury cars, but have only second- or third-rate sofas in their homes. I put little trust in such people. An expensive automobile may be worth its price, but it's only an expensive automobile. If you have the money, you can buy it, anyone can buy it. Procuring a good sofa, on the other hand, requires style and experience and philosophy. It takes money, yes, but you also need a vision of the superior sofa. That sofa among sofas."
-Haruki Murakami, from Hard-boiled wonderland and the end of the world.

How appropriate!
