Tips from the community

The place I had my first travel crush: Alice Springs was where I had my first major travel crush. I had moved on from a 7-year relationship that sadly just didn't work. I started working as soon as I arrived in Alice Springs and one of my co-workers was a fiery African model named Grace. If you listen to the lyrics of Tom Petty's "The wild one forever" that sums up our fling.
