1 - I and myself

I'm gonna introduce myself. I'm David, 28 years old in a couple of days, I come from a little town of Italy, not very far from the much more important Venice. I've lived in Perth for almost two months and everything for me, even after this time, is still wonderful and stunning.

 

Why am I here? The explanation is highly complicated and it would take me days to go into. For this reason, I'll just summarize the entire process which I arrived here with. Since I was 19-20 years old, I've always particulary liked so much to travel and I've been trying to explore as much of the world as I can, because I think that spending money on travel is the best use of money.

I went to U.S. 3 years ago and I've already tried to get a scholarship to live there, in particular in California, my favourite American's State. I failed, even if I believe that sooner or later i'll live there or at least i'll try again with an additional effort.

 

So, last June I began to elaborate a strange plan in my mind, something that could be affordable and managable for me and for my wallet; hindsight, maybe, i should have studied more english before my departure, but now, in Australia, everything around me can supply the tools to pass the thresold from a ordinary english and a good one. I definitely overhauled my life, given that I left my friends, my family, my job and all the assurances that I had created in 27 years. I'm pretty sure that this decision I made, will afford me to change my life for the better and this experience, that I've been living since the flight landed, will be marveolus and wonderful.

 

So far, I really love Perth, the city the welcomed me and I really love Australia as well. I've completely plunged into this life, I've surely enriched my experience and my skills in this 2 months and I think that I've been enhancing and improving my english day by day, above all 'cause I've lived with two amazing aussy people (I said that not because you're reading me Louise, but because I particularly believed in what i've just written!!), who've been teaching me everyday the right way to gain confidence with my english.

 

There might be just one downside of the situation; I miss italian food and a little bit my family and my friends but..doesn't matter! I really want to live this experience till my visa will expired. So, as I said at the beggining, I've been here just for a couple of months and in my head, little by little, is taking shape a startling thought: settle down here!
