This week he is staying with Kevin and Lara Watson. He has been back in WA since the 11th of January but hasn't planned much although he is heading north on the 13th of February.

At the end of February he is heading over to Melbourne to catch up with his girlfriend and they intend to spend some time travelling up the east coast hopefully as far as Cairns. His visa runs out in April and then he intends to go home.

When he returns home he is going to enrol in a university program to do his Bachelor of Technical Management.
