I am 39 years old and born and bred in Melbourne, Australia. (Note to others: We pronounce it "Melb'n" not "Mel born"!) I have been married for nearly 18 years and have three sons - 11 year old identical twins and a 5 year old. I am a qualified pharmacist and used to own my own business before the twins arrived prematurely and threw a spanner in the works! My life was further changed on the discovery that my youngest son has autism (fortunately the "high-functioning" type - also known as Asperger's Syndrome). I have since held down a number of part-time and casual jobs so that I can devote more time to our children. Over the past 11 years I have worked as a locum pharmacist, a census collector, Avon representative, customer service assessor, pharmacy trainer, site auditor, State Logistics Manager for a "word of mouth advertising" company and a product presenter. I have also done voluntary work for my local Twins Club, Early Childhood Intervention Centre, Little Athletics Centre and school Parents & Friends Association. As you can see I am always interacting with people and many of these positions have involved communicating via the internet! I also have many friends and family interstate and overseas so I frequently communicate with them vial email and Facebook - posting photos and videos to keep in touch.
My father was born in Austria and my parents gave me the gift of international travel throughout my childhood. This love of travel and adventure has persisited throughout my life. Unfortunately our ability to travel extensively has been hindered by the arrival of children! My autistic son had phobias about boats, buses and aeroplane travel which was severely limiting! Fortunately he has recently overcome those fears and we took our first plane trip with him only two weeks ago. He is now addicted too and wants to visit "every country in the world"! Now if only I had unlimited money I would be only too happy to make his dream come true!!
