Item 1: London Calling

Location: Home (Melbourne, Australia)

The list starts here. Passport? Check. Visa? Check. Ticket? Check. Buy some travel insurance, resign from my comfortable job, complete some final paperwork, say my final farewells, pack my bags and the next thing I know I'm through the gates at the airport on a one-way ticket to London.

Upon arrival, Heathrow's lovely immigration officers welcome you with open arms. You stand in a queue labelled "Visa holders", with the thousand or more other people who have arrived in London with you from Thailand, Inida, Dubai and wherever else, just waiting.

Officer, "You're on a Working Holiday?"

OMG, I think to myself. "Yes I am." How awesome!!
