About - Sabina Born on 5th August 1966 in Maribor, Drava became the river I first knew and Pohorje the mountain I first climbed. As years passed by, so did rivers and mountains of my life. 30th October 1985, I gave birth to Primoz and my life changed forever. When my marriage broke several years later, Primoz and I decided to build us a new home. Search path for the right location took us all the way to the States. New York City captured our heart and soul, but for the school district and suburban life we decided to live few miles northern, in tri-state area, Greenwich, CT. Our house was walking distance from beautiful Greenwich sand beach and when we were not sun-bathing, we were exploring the Big Apple; played in Central Park, visited Barnes & Nobble, fooled around with squirrels in Battery Park, climbed the Statue of Liberty or Empire State Building, avoid hookers on Times Square, or simply stared down the Rockefeller Plaza. Broadway was ours to explore and Greenwich Village downtown was the place we learnt one can never be too careful. World Trade Center twins towers made our necks stiff and our minds wander. Brooklyn bridge connects two parts of New York City I liked the most - Manhattan and Brooklyn. Rising from the middle of China town it bridges East River and takes you to the Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn. The same avenue that took me to the JFK Airport when I decided to return to my motherland - the Land on the Sunny Side of the Alps. Once home, homesickness stopped and was replaced by the nostalgy after Big Apple - eternal curse of all immigrants, I guess. Situation at home has not changed much, so few years afterwards we set sail to another destination - Australia. First day at school, Primoz came home with a confused expression on his face: "Mum, are you sure they speak English here?" We've learnt since that jawannacuppa means they're offering us a cup of tea. We also learnt that we finally found our home, when even after 10 years here homesickness after Slovenia did not raise its ugly head. Yes, I miss some friends and my family, but my heart is content none the less. We both love our new country, the smell of gum trees, corrugations of dirt roads and on shed roofs - and even the eternal changing weather in Melbourne. I love to drive off into a sunset in my ute, with True Blue blasting away in my CD player. We're definitely here to stay.
