SASKIA VAN ROSENTHAL
I'm a 28 year old Dutch girl. The past 3.5 years I have worked full time, taking some weeks off each year to visit places like Thailand, Vietnam and Israel. In June 2002, I realised I'd contracted the travelling bug badly and decided to quit my job and go down under, something I'd wanted to do for years.

So...24 September 2002 I arrived in Sydney. It's fantastic to actually see and touch the Opera House.
Travel obviously... I also love to read, go to the gym, do yoga and cook for friends.

Facts and figures
Welcome to my homepage on my Australian travels and the preparations for it. Though it's in English, some of the info is mainly interesting for the Dutch. However, my travel stories and tips are for everyone, so please have a look!

Send me an email (sibvr@yahoo.com.au) if you have any questions or sign the guestbook for comments.

Cheers,
Saskia
