Currently in Melbourne Australia having been dropped right in it by a friend who said I could rent their place while they're on holiday and then they changed their mind last minute yesterday, leaving me suddenly homeless on Christmas Eve. Currently in a park on Christmas day a three hour train ride away, because I had nothing else to do and rides are free today. Thanks for your post, it really cheered me up on a Chri…

Please promise you have a place to stay. Happy to put you up somewhere if it will help. You have my email. :)

I'll be cool thanks for your offer. I slept on the couches in a lobby of a swish hotel last night then got on a train at 7am. Hotels here are super expensive so I'm just going to wing it until I can get a room share next week or try and reschedule my flight out of here without it costing a small fortune.

Please don't let cost be a barrier. I'd much rather know you have a place to stay. There are plenty of resources here to make sure you're not on the streets on an ostensble vacation. You have my contact info. Be safe!

Thank you cool dude. What's funny is that this trip was a treat to myself because I came in to some money this year, but I've been poor my whole adult life and now spending it frivolously even for a room for the night almost causes me visceral pain. Thanks for your support and offer to help. "it'll be right" as they say out here in Oz.
