Message:
I am currently living in the UK to live with my partner since my partner has a job in the UK. UK was the one of the only country almost always kept opening their border to non citizenship. This was very lucky for us since there were no way to see each other under the circumstance. I really hope Australia lifts their restrictions and you can see your love one very soon. Feel free to ask me any questions here or Instagram (I check IG everyday so you can catch me there)
