We (Dave and Claire) left Australia where we both grew up to live in London in 2002. Our son Jay was born in London and we lived there until 2005 when we moved to the Savoie region of France. Our daughter Ella was born in France and we lived there until late 2006 when we start our adventure - 1 year traveling around Europe in our Motorhome.
