Tonya's Travels

a 31 year old female

I'm here in Australia until 2009 on a work sponsored visa. My hope is to try to travel around Australia, New Zealand and the S Pacific as much as time and finances will allow.

Tonya has visited 80 places in 23 cities in 6 countries and has written 8 travel blogs with 43 entries.
