I'm Suzanne, 23, from Jackson, Michigan. I work at Anderson Printing & Mailing in Downtown Jackson.


I enjoy photography (particularly local photographers: Ken Scott, Nathan Mahan, and Matt Ykimoff)
art
music
wine
sleeping
and my charming boyfriend - Alex

In late 2005 I went though a "what am I doing with my life" slump. Then it happened... i-to-i travel sent me their regular newsletter, only this time, it included a live/work program for Australia. I have journal entries dating back to fifth grade writing about Australia. It was clearly meant to be.

I talked to my boss about this three month program and started to budget. It gave me a goal...something to look forward to. It definitely drew me out of my slump.

I started to date Alex in toward the end of 2006. He showed interest in coming along which eventually turned into a solid plan. However, it didn't make sense that I would be working 40 hours a week while he was off playing with kangaroos. Instead, the three months turned into seven weeks including New Zealand and Fiji in the mix. The remainder of the time requested off was scattered around in other areas of the world.

Needless to say, I'm far from being in a slump these days. While our "big journey" is over, we often talk, plan, and dream about the near future.
