August 1, 2020 by Kristina JamesLeave a Comment

Several years ago I spent a year travelling and living in Melbourne, Australia. One of Australia's great cities - it is not to big and not to small either. And I was attracted to the friendly people; it wasn't hard to make new friends at all. My time in the country was quite an adventure - living in a new place with new sights, sounds, and experiences. It did remind me of my time in Canada a little bit - with numerous similarities between … [Read more...]
