WA Encounters & Reconnections

Romi

From roommates in Agnes Water to a reconnection in the WA - Romi and I have covered both coasts of Australia. During my road trip from Adelaide to Perth, I saw on Facebook that Romi had just accepted a job with Peter Pan Perth, so immediately messaged her to say I was on my way! We met up for a beach day, then continued to meet for bar crawls, picnics at sunset, and ice cream in the park.

An Austrian hoping to be an Australian, Romi exudes the attitude of work hard, party hard. Always working as a travel agent, first in Byron Bay, then remotely in Agnes Water, and then again in Perth, she can help you plan the perfect trip. She did her qualifying days in hospitality to get the much sought after second year visa.

Filipe

A hiking adventure turned to car ride tour of the suburbs of Perth, Filipe is an Aussie boy with a Slovakian heritage. Despite being a local, he had not explored much of the area which meant he was always down for adventure. A student and a football coach, he had a somewhat flexible schedule. We road tripped to Launceston and the Pinnacles and attended a yacht party. The kid has got some dance movies…a bit embarrassing for me and Nikki as he spun around the boat, sweating an insane amount and even going as far as to perform a chair dance routine. But, he was certainly the life of the party!

Anthony

Part of my Discover the World of Communications family, a message sent on our Fat Nate email (going strong since 2009) let me know Anthony had relocated to Perth with his family! I emailed him when I first decided to come to Australia, unsure if I would make it to the WA or not, but wanting to connect with anyone I could in the country.

Anthony, along with his Aussie wife, and two kids, live in the suburbs of Perth. He has continued his film career as a Producer for a production company. We connected for an amazing Thai takeout dinner and celebrated his 40th birthday at a local brewery.
