Noosa Heads is a small town just a couple hours north of Brisbane. It’s mainly known for three things:

  1. Surfing
  2. A national park
  3. The everglades (one of two in the entire world)

Unfortunately, it rained pretty much the entire time, so options were limited. On the only clear day, canoeing on the everglades was not available because of the excess water. Thus I resorted to a leisure stroll along the coastline of the national park. Taking pictures of the Sunday surfers, breathing deeply to fill my lungs with warm, fresh air, and a long conversation with a fellow adventurer along the path consumed the lovely day.

During the rainy days, I lounged in the shared apartment rented on Airbnb, which provided many comforts of home plus an interesting host. I cooked myself a proper dinner for the first time in months, and even cooked dinner for my host one evening, something I haven’t done since leaving Montreal. I also ran for the first time in months, through the warm drizzle that turned into a downpour midway and soaked everything, lol.

These simple pleasures of life rejuvenated my energies. I felt more like me again 🙂
