My heart longs to be in Australia. I’ve temporarily moved to Portland until I get my visa. I really like Portland . . if there were one place in the US I would live, it would be PDX. However, I miss everything about Australia – the beaches, the camaraderie, the values (family and friendship over work), the laid back lifestyle, the food, EVERYTHING. Being in Oz just feels like your in a corner of the world that is unspoiled and isolated, and leading a simpler life than you would in the US. I will be in Oz as soon as I can.
