that's why we call it god's country...

I hope someday you can return to Oz 🤞Glad you enjoyed your time here.

There are 12,000 beaches in Australia, everyone of them on a spectrum from beautiful to stunning. Each with its own character, and all of them with that look and feeling that is unique to Australia.

Amazing video thank you !

Keep chasing your dreams. Each failure is a learning experience and a stepping stone to achieving your goals. You have youth and time on your side.

What have the developers done to Airlie Beach?It was once a quaint little town, like Byron Bay, Surfers Paradise, Noosa Heads and all of those beaches north of Cairns once were.

What a beautiful story of your struggle to know yourself. It’s a lesson we all experience at critical moments in life’s journey but without your words nor your wisdom that you’ve shared with us so generously. Thank you so much. This has been so meaningful for me. Sofie, I wish you the best of life in whatever course you chose to take.

That sequence which starts at 10:26 is brilliant. Great capture.

The Whitsundays has a very special place in my heart ❤️ I worked on this islands in the mid 80’s and it was like a dream come true living in paradise. We use to sail over to Whitehaven beach and snorkel. Truely beautiful. I hope we see you back here. Good luck ❤

So beautiful a thought to finish. Thank you. One thing I have come to understand is that sometimes the sad things contain a kernel of joy that is yet to unfold, the frustrating things contain an opportunity yet to present itself. Don't over-stress, you will know yours when they are made visible to you. Cheers

Maybe it's just travelling alone for so long. We humans are pack animals.

Society. We will miss you, but if you need to recharge your personal batteries, then go home and do that. We just hope you come back again.

Hey Sofia, I live in South Aus but was fortunate to work as a Skipper in the Whitsundays and I got to go to the outer reef and Whitehaven Beach many times a truly beautiful place. I hope life is being kind and we would love to have you live here with us in our amazing country.

It realy is a shame that you only had a taste of the magic of Australia, I hope you have the opportunity to come back again and experience the rest.

Sofie I wish you days of more happiness and joy, we see you sad and makes us sad , hey that's alright, you need to be sad you be sad. Thank you for the time you have spent with us.

YOU ARE SO MUCH BRAVE AND YOU ARE THE BEST..

The sand on Airlie beach on the Whitsundays is so fine, Nasa used it to construct the lens for the Hubble space telescope. A bit of quirky trivia .

Hang in there mate, life always finds a way for us to bounce back mate🙂🇭🇲🦘👍😎 what a great video, honest and true emotion. I wish you all the best in your future plans you put a lot of work and effort in these videos , so don't give up on your dream, these little set backs in life is , our strengths and weakness putting us in these pressure situations to make us stronger, and become a better person. I have watched your videos and from the start I have watched you change your outlook on life, and for the better. I think if anything this trip has changed your perspective in life and made you a stronger individual in mind and spirit don't give up on your dream. Life always has a way of working out. Your strengths as a person are being tested . I wish you success in the future, you never know what life is going to throw at you when we are down, your inner self will find the strength to persevere with your dream's and Hope's don't give up. Take care 👍🦘🇭🇲🙂

😍😍

I am a 70 year old Australian. I don't watch your videos for the scenery, or the insights into Australia. I know this stuff. But what makes your videos compelling to me is the inner voyage you describe, building video by video. It is intimate, and honest, and authentic. And completely different to 99% of social media.

Welcome to paradise. ❤

Amazing quality of the video❤ I like your story and that you are sharing with us ❣

That's weird because I've lived a few times in order to die

Great story i hope you come back one day😊

You are the sweetest lady and a great story teller .

Beautiful~ love your storytelling!

Find a nice quiet spot to sit for awhile.😊

Love your accent. Australia is full of Byron Bays just don’t get the attention of the media because famous people don’t live there. Enjoy.

Lovely video. Thank you

really nice to see you healing in Australia, it has that effect, this is a little poem i used to carry with me in the 70's, i hope you like it. Listen! by Ella Wheeler Wilcox Whoever you are as you read this, Whatever your trouble or grief, I want you to know and to heed this: The day draweth near with relief. No sorrow, no woe is unending, Though heaven seems voiceless and dumb; So sure as your cry is ascending, So surely an answer will come. Whatever temptation is near you, Whose eyes on this simple verse fall; Remember good angels will hear you And help you to stand, if you call. Though stunned with despair I beseech you, Whatever your losses, your need, Believe, when these printed words reach you, Believe you were born to succeed. You are stronger, I tell you, this minute, Than any unfortunate fate! And the coveted prize - you can win it; While life lasts 'tis never too late!

So much fun reliving these memories! Thank you Sofia!!

Keep sharing your story! Excited to see where this journey takes you...I'm planning on leaving the UK on a WHV this september/october on my own. First time travelling on my own, but these videos you share are making me less nervous but more excited x

I'm glad you managed to find you.

Thanks for posting! I am an AustMalt = Australian 🇦🇺 Maltese 🇲🇹 I use to holiday in Maltese with my mum & brother through out my childhood for 3 months at a time! I stayed in B’kara (btw you pronounced it perfectly) l even lived there for 2.5 yrs with my grandpa in Brared st? Please film if still there no. 24/130 now What brought you to Malta? Are you still there? Where are you from originally? I miss it so much San Anton harden is a nice spot too

When English is your second language everything is a double entendre! 😜

Yeh! we know its the BEST place in the world which is why we don't want most of you here

are you jewish?

Thank you for your lovely video as usual and you are heaven on earth !

A beautiful post now you understand why we love our land. Fin and listen to The Seekers singing ‘We are Australian’

Life is to short to be miserable.... Quit my fair share of jobs....all turned out good.

Ahh, an aussie mental health check....Nike!

I paraglide from Booti Booti and the views as you suggest are amazing. Lots of delightful beachs althrough that area. Good to see you went to Forster very underrated in my opinion

nice view, plenty of space. When you fill the space the body drops into insignificance

There are literally 100's of places just like this all around AU. Such a pity AU has tuned into a nanny state, woke nightmare.

You have discovered the spirit of the land. This land is magical. The First Nation people have know this forever. We are just starting to see it.

You get it. Well done.

strangers come to visit us... BUT THEY ALWAYS LEAVE AS FRIENDS

how lucky are we in Oz to have such a beautiful soul come visit us. Thank you.. You call it paradise , we call it home.. just remember there is 26.000 kilometres of shore line. more beaches to visit. you should feel quite at home here. I think you are a nature lover. There is lots of nature here. May you take nothing with you except the spirit and beauty of the land. and perhaps the memory of nice person you met enjoy .....have fun and hoping you return some day. Cheers and take care.

It’s a real bugger living on a gigantic island with over 14000 kilometres of coastline , not really 😁, as always there’s always rivalry between the states who has the best of whatever, but in truth every state has some awesome landscapes, be it beach or otherwise . Of course , picking the right time of the year for each destination makes a difference to the enjoyment factor , southern regions in winter you get winter , it’s not Alaska cold but it can get cold and miserable. Up north it’s less cold and often if it’s pissing down rain people will still be getting around in singlets and shorts. Of course tropical weather of up north can on occasion show its cranky side , like everything Yang and Yang all places have their good and bad times. You could certainly do a lot worse than Australia as destination.

Wow, this is an excellent vlog. I have to learn so much...my vlogs are nowhere near yours. Good job.
