My name is Mercedes. I'm 30 years old. I come from Colombia. I come from a family of one child My Mum and Dad are still alive.

I came to Sydney, Australia, in 1998 by myself to get a better life and to study.

I think this country is good to bring a family up, and I live here better than in my country.

I love my country and I miss my family and friends and the way Colombia is.

Holidays

I went to Colombia one year ago with my husband and my son. We stayed in different places like my mum's house and my mother in law's.

I was there for two months. I visited many places and friends. I saw my city, Pereira is so beautiful and very big . I miss my family went I came back to Australia I stayed so happy there, I want back soon.
