Tori Vince, Single mother, Australia

Meet Tori. When I was still in high school I befriended myself with Tori. We studied together in the same high school. She became pregnant and decided at that time with her then boyfriend to keep her beautiful son. Sadly 6 month ago her partner and the father of her son had decided to take a step back from an active parenting role and left. Tori having had already a tough past has now to juggle between different struggles, but thanks to her son she is able to do so. A mothers love for her child is the strongest bond there is. I believe that you will never be loved as much as a mother loves you (given that she is not a psychopathic mother who abuses you...). I find it really strong and full of courage that Tori speaks up and shares the story of her current and past life. I am sure there are others out there who went through the same struggles as single parent. There is so much a mother would do for her child even if it means depleting her own resources.

Andre Maure, Teacher, Indonesia

I had come to meet Andre at a wedding couple of years ago and we are friends since. He teaches English as well as Indonesian. His passion is to teach and he does a great job at doing so which had taken him to Australia and around Indonesia with hopefully more destinations in the pipeline. I think in all the years that I know Andre he had never shown any negativity. He is always happy and positively minded, which is kind of contagious and therefore it is always great to be around him. As I am myself planning to go to Bali to study Indonesian and start an online business as luck might find it I might even get taught by my friend.

Richard Giannini, Entrepreneur, Australia

As many of you know I am an aspiring entrepreneur. I linked up on Facebook with an entrepreneurial website called "Entrepreneurs With Vision" where Richard is the founder. Our mutual interest for watches got us talking and when I launched this blog I was certain that an experienced entrepreneur like Richard could really benefit the readers of this blog. Sharing his wisdom and experience is a great way for us to learn something whilst also getting to know another face on this globe. If you are an aspiring entrepreneur then I really recommend you to link up with the Facebook group Entrepreneurs With Vision" and don't be shy to ask questions to anybody as everyone at one stage was a newby, and if you are an experienced Entrepreneur then I recommend you to give back and help giving new entrepreneurs vision. In the end it is all about give and take in this world. Thank you for giving back to us Richard.

Alex, Student, Australia

Alex is my good friend in Perth, Australia. I met Alex when I attended an english school for immigrants and refugees. We were in the same class at that time and our friendship dates back to 2009, the year I started being at the Intensive English Centre (IEC). Alex had always came across as a wise person. When there was a problem he always had some sort of advise. If you know Alex then you know that on the outside he is hard like a rock but on the inside he has a warm heart and is very kind. A man who had experienced a lot and endured much. Turning his life around coming to Australia from a war torn country, experiencing hardship and suffering and now he is  holding Australian citizenship, is happily married and studies at university. I truly respect this man!
