Birthday Trip to Japan for my 30th

Ok, so I know this might induce some eye-rolling or some groans, but be assured I am aware of how polarizing  (and embarrassing and narcissistic)  this may be to do, however, here it goes...

I am turning 30 on October 15th 2018. 

A goal of mine for the last decade has been to go to Berlin. It has been something I have been working towards, but as you all know, life can be difficult and trying to survive as a creative makes having a savings account seem almost impossible. 

If you would like to gift me anything for my 30th, then please donate to this Berlin fund. It would be the greatest birthday gift and the best way to turn 30.

I can't express how much I want this or how grateful I would be for your assistance in getting to my dream.  I want to see the artistic wonderland that so many other artists keep telling me I would love.

Thank you and I'm sorry. 

Of course, I also want to work for my own money to be able to go so if you want to purchase headshot or photo packs then please go to www.mattolucasphotography.tumblr.com to book a shoot! I'm more than happy to take photos to make it!

In terms of the amount I'm asking for -

$282 is for Australian Passport

$2083 is for return flights (cheapest found 8/05/2018)

$635 is for accommodation (until I find a job or...)

(+ $1000 of my own savings for emergency, accommodation, living expenses etc)
