Introductions
Hey All!
A great oppurtunity has presented itself to me. I have the chance to travel to Australia as an AuPair for 9 months. I will be staying near Sydney in Leichhardt, NSW with the Extrem family. I leave September 3rd from Great Falls & will arrive in Sydney on September 5th. That means alot of flying. It will be a 31hr tip in total. I am super excited & can't wait to explore Australia!
This blog is to keep all of my family & friends updated on my adventures! I hope you all enjoy it. I will miss you all while I am away!
