ABOUT ME
(I wrote this 5 years ago, I'm 25 now)
My name is Melissa, 20 years old and I've studied for two years now. Should spend my time on an internship right now. But... One week before I should start, they told me that their company (stable) was sold! So... No internship for me x) I decided to take my chance and follow my dream... I'm going to Australia with a Work and Holiday visa!! :)
Still have to finish my studies when I'm back, but I really need tot think of what I wanna do when I finished my studies.

PHILOSOPHY

After last summer I've learned one thing:
''Everything happens for a reason''!
And I keep saying this one: Live Laugh Love ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The moste amazing experience I've had so far was my holiday in Idaho with my dad. It was for my 18th birthday, we went to a ranch and we drove six hours each day (horseback) in the beautiful nature with endless views!! Awesome :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can tell about my culture and teach a bit of my language!! :)

I hope to learn so much about other cultures (the Australian culture in this case) and about the way of living there. I'm used to a crowded country (Holland), so I guess it's gonna be very different for me.
