Hallo si ladies.
I am a member of the SI club in Werl, a small city in germany. My daughter (22 years old) wants to visit australia. She studied communicationdesign. In august she wants to visit australia for six month. Her biggest dream is to live and work in melbourne for a while. Is there anybody who can help us to find a place to stay and where she could work(advertising agency,design office,marketing agency..)
Thank you very much.
Best regards
SI sister carola
