Hello...I live in Australia and work as a registered nurse. Nursing 19 years now.
In my spare time, I enjoy going for walks (especially along the beach),going to the movies, reading, pottering about the house/garden, collecting/trying out new recipes and of course, visiting friends and family.
In the future I would love to do some more travelling. Last year I visited my sister and her husband in Canada - what a beautiful country...definitely want to go back!
