I belive in making mistakes that is what teaches us to grow... I have made alot of them. Sharing from our experiences may help or teach each other something new. Those that don't make mistakes are not living.

I live in Australia, The best country in the world... Filled with brilliant beaches, cities and most importanly my fellow Australians! Very proud to come from the land down under.
