Jessica and Andrzej continue on travelling, they are now checking what “the American dream” really means- if there is anything like that ; P- and I got back to Australia. Unfortunately Australia is in fact my last stop before going ...

See, we are “struggling around the world” to try ...

Wow... we are in Auzzie land! :) And it has been a crazy couple of days! We arrived in Perth, and got a bigger shock than we expected, caused by the prices over here!
