Most of the people reading this probably already know me...but if you don't then:  I am a Rotary Youth Exchange Student, currently spending one year abroad in Germany. 
Australia: I live in Melbourne, Victoria; have finished school at Carwatha College and will next year begin studying at Monash University.
Deutschland: I live in a town called Marburg, 1 hour north of Frnakfurt; I am in year 12 at Martin Luther Schule Gymnasium.
I love to go places and see things...and guess what I'm on the other side of the world!!!  Travelling has always been a dream and I am living it!
I also love to play Basketball...and go Sled Dog Racing!!!
Friends and family are the two most important things in life because they will always be there for you.

Australia: All of you know who you are!!! I miss you guys, and still love you all!!!  I love hearing what everyone is up to and I hope that through this site, emails, and postcards we can continue to share all our adventures with each other.

Deutschland: My closest friends here would have to be the other exchange students...others who have a similar understanding or what i'm doing...and they come from all over the world.
My families here are so nice...to have someone in there home who they dont know and make you a part of there family is great.  The Straube's in Kassel, you only had to have me for 2 weeks, but I keep coming back!  The Steioff's, thankyou, we were supposed to speak only German...but you have made it a lot easier for me to feel good here, even if it means talking English.
