July Plans

I am right now trying to decide what to do for my winter break (summer break in most parts of the world). My options right now are going to Sweden for a really short break or staying here in Australia. If I choose to stay in Australia, I want to go somewhere for a week, or just a couple of days even. I don't want to spend too much money so I then would want to go somewhere else in Queensland. I've been looking at Port Douglas, Byron Bay and The Gold Coast. It is going to be cold here then so I will need to bring jackets and long pants etc.
Then I always dream of spending a little more money and book a flight to somewhere like Fiji or New Zealand. Fiji has always been a dream of mine and I would love to go there and I've looked up tickets and with the student prize, they aren't that bad. Not as cheap as a bus to another part of Queensland would be, but not bad for going to a tropical place.
I honestly just feel like that now when I live across the world from where I used to, I should take advantage of it and see as much as possible, in and around Australia. I want to see as much as possible and just spend money on living life here and be proud of the fact that I am now "a local".
