Hi, my name is Mellisa and I live in Torbay.
In March, I went to the Gold Coast to meet my family for the first time.
I met my Mum, my step-father, my sisters and my nephews, and I stayed in a cabin for the first week with my support person, along with my Mum and Dad.
We went to loads of different places, like Sea World, Surfer's Paradise and Coolangatta, and I celebrated my birthday with them all at Harbour Town for a lovely family dinner.
I got a beautiful heart necklace from my Mum and my sisters, and I exchanged matching bracelets.
After a week, two of my flatmates joined me on the Gold Coast and we all rented a house and a car, we did some really cool things like Movie World, Currumbin Wild Life Sanctuary and went to an awesome cabaret called Dracula’s (pictured below), which was a little scary at first as all the staff were dressed up as vampires, but we had great food and the show was hilarious.
It was an action-packed holiday, full of fun adventures, but most of all I loved connecting with my family. We now speak regularly and my sister has sent me some presents. They're coming to New Zealand in the next few months to visit me and I can’t wait to see them again!
My family is special to me and I'm so glad I had the opportunity to meet them all and to stay connected.
