I was lucky to meet Mario in Japan and now we are engaged and living in Spain. We have no idea what the future holds, but we’re sure it will be adventurous! ... full info

Traveling in a fried-out combie, On a hippie trail, head full of zombie, I met a strange lady, she made me nervous, She took me in and gave me breakfast, And she said, "Do you come from a land down under? Where women glow and men plunder? Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder? You better run, you better take cover." Buying bread from a man in Brussels, He was six-foot-four and full of muscles, I said, "Do you speak-a my language?" He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich
