This is part 1 of my grad trip diaries, and we’re literally flying from Singapore to Melbourne on a 7h+ flight. I bring you along from my comfy airport outfit (I’m always team super comfy) to freshening up mid-journey—because if you’re stuck on a long flight, you really start to feel it. I also show the little travel pouch I love using because it keeps my passport and important documents easy to take in and out, which is honestly a lifesaver when you’re moving through airports. When we land in Melbourne, I’m shocked (in the best way) because it’s freezing cold, not the “40 degrees” vibe I imagined. We check into our hostel for the night and head straight out for food because I’m starving (the last thing I ate was plane laksa, but I slept through most of the flight—life hack). The night ends with kebabs, a super stacked burger situation, fried cheese that I swear you won’t find like this back home, and even a complimentary waffle dessert. First meal in Melbourne = huge portions, warm food, and me being ridiculously happy.
