DannyGlover Posted December 29, 2011 Author Share Posted December 29, 2011 Haha, I was speaking to someone named Mark as i was typing that bit! Yes I will keep an eye on your posts and where you are at. Sounds perfect! Would be good to try working in some areas if they seem I am 20, will be be 21 in March and i am close to finishing my driving so i will have my license. And yourself? I have never done scuba diving, but i am interested in walking, camping and anything adventurous! I can also Ski, and i can drink beer.. if needs be obviously haha! I would rather be in a camper than switching from hotel to hotel and i will have my license so driving is not a problem. Currently working for a company in Lancashire running websites and webstores, I am also a qualified stop smoking advisor. I am looking to move to Australia, but it will be good to go around and see which places i prefer. Danny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
