Travel Fail: My Honeymoon Hooker in Oz

Published by

Sydney proved an amazing starting point for our 2015 honeymoon adventure (after a 4 day stop over in Dubai, of course). We were on the other side of the world and loving life. Four days in and we had ticked all the tourist boxes; beaches, Blue Mountains, kangaroos, koalas, Darling Harbour, Circular Quay, boat trips and of course, Sydney Opera House (see Travel Fail: Sydney Opera House – whoops! Yep, we kinda make a habit of this kinda thing over here). We were Sydney-satisfied and hungry to see more of Australia. It was our last night and we had decided to stay in, pack our bags, order a takeaway and sort ourselves out a hooker for the night. Hold on. Wait. What? Let’s backtrack… We were off to Cairns early the next morning and decided to spend the evening in our hotel room.

People pick up on insecurities on the first date – especially if it’s someone you’re very interested in. The first guy I was genuinely interested in from the online dating world was Pandora’s Box. Yes, I just nicknamed him Pandora’s Box. To my friends, I actually call him Pandora (insert guys name here) but like I said, for sake of humiliation, I’ll use the nickname my co-worker gave him. I was pulling an all-nighter for school when I got a message from him asking if I liked watching hockey and he commented on my music taste, which is excellent, if I must say.
