So, have you travelled overseas much?
A bit, yeah.- After uni, I went on an OE for a year.
- Cool! Where'd you go?
- Heaps of places!
- Mostly around Europe and the UK.
- I loved Scotland the most.
- How was it there?
- Cold!
- I had to wear a jersey most days and I even had to buy some polyprops cos it was so cold.
- The weather sounds bad. Why did you like it so much?
- Well, the Scots are so friendly!
- Whenever I went to the pub, someone'd always shout me a Guinness.
- Fantastic!
- I heard they love rugby, too.
- Yeah, they do.
- Have you ever been to the UK?
- My dad's Welsh, so I've been there a few times.
- I love tramping and the lake district in Wales is great for that.
- You'd love Scotland, then. The tramping in the Highlands is amazing.
