I grew up in Australia, and never dreamed I would be living overseas. It all happened by chance. In Australia I was bought up working class, roll your sleeves up,get in and do the job.
Beauty, nature, fresh air,bright crisp blue skies, amazing beaches, a good education & medical care,a mulit-cultural society,freedom, security, opportunites,hahaa..my list could go on forever :)
