Experiences, Contacts & Déjà vu

This job application is surreal. I'm living in a strange and foreign place that has only just opened up to me! Who would of thought that I would be a part of a BBC documentary to be aired on BBC1 sometime later this year, or that I would receive a glowing recommendation from Vaughan Bullivant, one of Australia's wealthiest men & owner of Daydream Island resort & spa.

Just meeting so many like minded individuals in the shortest space of time has blown my mind. We're all vying for the same illusive opportunity, to represent one of the most stunning places on earth, to learn, to travel, to document and then to share it all with the world.

We're all competing, and yet many of them feel like friends I've known for a lifetime, a strange familiarity sweeps over me when I speak with them, like twins separated from birth or something equally as corny.

In two months I've become proficient at video editing, I'm getting better at interviews, I'm thinking about ways to uniquely publicise myself that are both interesting for me and the consumer. I now value the roles of publicists and PR agencies as I don't have either of them and would desperately love for someone to tell me how media & press releases work.

I've had the most overwhelming support from long lost friends and family I never knew existed, to new found friends who love what I have been and am currently creating. This process has been incredible, an amazing experience that I could only have dreamed of and at the same time so grateful that it is indeed reality. Hopefully this rabbit hole still has some depth left to explore.
