Rose and I first met three years ago while we were counselors at summer camp. From the moment I met her I knew that we would be friends for a long time to come. She is one of the nicest people you will ever meet, is full of personality and never fails to make me laugh. For the past three summers we have spent every day for two months together and our friendship has become incredibly close. We bring out the best in each other and always make the best out of any situation. Our biggest adventure was probably a four day canoe trip down the St. Croix river in Maine with 44 16 year olds! If we can survive that, I am sure we can survive anything. There is one problem with our friendship, while I live in Massachusetts, Rose lives in Australia. We rarely get to see each other, and with our summer camp careers at an end our friendship will have to continue through phone calls and e-mails alone. Rose and I would love the opportunity to have more adventures together traveling through Australia. Not only would Rose and I benefit from this trip, but everyone else on our tour would be able to experience Australia with a real Aussie by their side.
