“I’m really excited about my trip to Europe. I haven’t travelled much outside Australia before. Just once, two years ago when I went on holiday to Bali with my family, but I have never been to Europe or the US. I often travel inside Australia. Last year, I flew to Perth to visit my cousin, who lives there. It’s a five-hour flight from Sydney, where I live. Australia’s a big country! Also, I have been up to Cairns in the north three times. I learnt to scuba dive there on the Great Barrier Reef.

We have just finished packing. The taxi hasn’t arrived yet. We are waiting for it to take us to the airport. I have never flown on a 747 before. It’s a very long flight. It takes 20 hours to get to Rome, but I won’t sleep on the journey — I will watch films all the way. It’s so exciting! I can’t wait!”
