Introduction

Hello! My name is Lauren Del Valle. I was born in Redcliffe, Australia in 1991 and lived in Brisbane till I was 18. Since I was 16, I always had an urge to travel to America, for about a year, to experience the life my mum had as she was born in Las Vegas, USA. Finally at age 18 I moved to Provo, Utah to live the Brigham Young University (BYU) life. After a month of being in the USA, I met Francisco (Pako) Del Valle who I ended up marrying 14 months later. We are currently living in Provo and plan to one day move to Australia.

At least once a day, I get asked a question about my accent/Australia. Questions include: 'What nationality are you?' 'Why did you move to America?' 'Where is your accent from?' 'Are girls cutter in Australia?' 'How much are the tickets to Australia?' 'Did you know my brothers, roommates, dads, exwifes, brother who served an LDS mission in Australia?' And the questions go on and on.....

The question I get asked the most, from people in American & Australia, is what are the biggest differences between both countries. This question requires an answer that would take a whole day to explain. Recently, this has made me want to create a blog so I can explain to the world the many differences! I am gonna give it ago.

Hopefully this blog will let people feel like they are in Australia/America. Maybe if I show this blog to my future children, they will have no need to leave me and travel half way around the world to experience a different country. (Sorry mum!)

Get ready people! This is going to be a journey for both you and me!
