I was born in
the
early 1970's . My daughter was born in July 97 and I became a ***
single
parent ***
when she was 16 months old. I lived in Ballarat, Australia for most of
my life except for a stint of
7 years, during which I was living in Melbourne, working and studying
tourism
and then 2 years during which lived in the North of Victoria
on the Murray River. I'm now living in Western Australia which is a bit
of a change!
I spent
all my years of High School at a Secondary
College in Ballarat and completed Year 12 which in Australia is the
final
year of high school, I have also done a certificate course in Retail
and
a Diploma in Travel Operations, and I'm currently doing some Tourism
studies in relation to my job.
I have mainly
worked in
retail and Tourism although I did spend 2 years in The Australian Army
Reserves which I really enjoyed. I don't know any other languages
although
I would like to learn Japanese, German and Spanish (don't ask me why I
want to learn those particular languages as I'm not sure myself) .
Although I've been to every State in Australia I have
not travelled overseas yet, but I am hoping to as there are many
places I would
like to see, first and foremost being Scotland as I have had a
fascination
with it for many years now. For the moment though I am mainly occupied
with raising my daughter and busy working. I've also taken up
scrapbooking as a hobby which is proving to be great fun.
