I dated a girl from Sydney for 3 years. You guys need to plan a half way trip sometime in the future and meet in Bali. If she has an aussie accent let her do all the talking because there're not many Americans that go there and if the Balinese know you're American they'll be all over you like a Schnauzer on a pant leg. (They know we're the only country that tips so if they think you're assie they'll go away) It's an incredible surfing experience.
Thanks bro. I've got it narrowed down to 2, PR or Barbados. I'm going with a chick (she surfs). Do you know anything about Barbados?
You're going to love the land of Oz. They love Americans. All you have to do is talk. Also they're way more shy than us. You'll have to break the ice and then they will be your instant friend. It's alway quiet in the line-ups. It's a trip, you'll start a conversation and then notice everyone around will start conversing.
