A place to call home!


After worrying of having a place to live when I first arrive in Melbourne I have decided on using a Hostel. Geared around backpackers really but it's cheap and an ideal way for me to meet new people. I'm more of a "Suitcaser/Laptoper" than a Backpacker but I'm sure I'll be fine.

So - where to choose!? I had been eyeballing quite a number of different ones throughout the City and other districts but a lot looked manically busy and it's not really what you want when working. In amongst these I have found a little gem (I hope) called the Lords Lodge!

I'd read some reviews and everything seems in order:
  • Free lockers in each room
  • Fridge in each room
  • Clean linen every day
  • FREE WI-FI
As a self-confessed Internet junkie this is the icing on the cake.

I will be staying in a South-East district called Prahran. This is pronounced "preran" as I had found out from the lovely lady at the Hostel after I called it "Praa-hraaan" and got laughed it. Gay capital apparently so at least it'll be friendly!

This will be my impermenant start to my new life in Melbourne.
