About Me: I'm a 26 year old Aussie who's been dreaming of traveling Europe since I was about 14. What took me so long? Good question. Too much dreaming and not enough doing. But I've decided it's time to finally start living my dreams! The rest of the world seems so exciting and exotic to me that I can't wait to be a part of it!
I'm a Melbourne girl born and bred, and it´s definitely a beautiful city and a fantastic place to live BUT I've now been living in England since December 2009 and I LOVE it! So may stay here for some time.
