1. A life defining moment for me was when I was driving my car late one night, and my windscreen met with a jumping kangaroo. I rolled 3 times narrowly missing a huge pole, and came out without a scratch. Soonafter I adopted my personal philosophy "carpe diem" (seize the day).
2. I commuted to work daily by train for 4 hours to Sydney for 10 years. Back then I often dreamt about getting off those tracks and running my own business, so now I fully appreciate working from home.
3. In ’98 I bought a ticket to go to Europe for 6 weeks. 1 year later I returned to Oz with my husband whom I met and married in the UK!
4. As a kid I saw a scenic picture of the beautiful Greek island Santorini and one of my goals was to one day see it in real life. When I did this in ‘98 it was far more breathtaking than any picture I’d ever seen.
5. In my 20’s I did a lot of road trips with my BFF around Australia, seeing Queensland, Canberra, Melbourne, Adelaide and eventually even living in Perth. Now I'm grateful to be living near Sydney in the area I love the best! (see video below)
6. I was born in Oz, but like many, my origins are from eastern Europe. One of the benefits I get from this heritage is celebrating 2 Christmases (Orthodox) and New Year Eves which is a tradition I have gladly continued with my kids!
7. We have just recently returned to Oz after living in Croatia for 2.5 years. There I started blogging and my Virtual Assistant business. To find out more about my adventures, click here.
8. The most “dangerous” thing I’ve ever done was white water rafting whilst on holiday in Bali, Indonesia. It was either that or bungy jumping!
9. My music tastes are very eclectic – in my old tape (remember those?) and cd collection I had every music genre there is, but my all time favourite band is The Beatles, and the song “Let It Be”. You can listen to my DJ_VA tracks here!
10. More than 20 years ago I read a piece of writing called Desiderata by Max Ehrmann written in 1927, and to this day it still inspires me.

great site Alex, you rock
I once had a boss who met his demise via a kangaroo-through-the-windscreen incident, so you were incredibly lucky.
Hiya Jeanie!
Yes, I do realise how fortunate I am to be alive as that stretch of road is infamous for fatalities. This is why I really do try and live my motto everyday, as you just never know...
