TESTIMONIAL
Michelle Kalozi - Hair Colourist
"Canberra has a lot to offer everyone"
I moved to Canberra when I was offered a position with a major cosmetic company as a colour technician and educator. Before I moved to Canberra I was living in Coogee, so I do miss the beach, but the South Coast is so much more beautiful, and not too far away.
Canberra to me is a big country town with all the amenities of a large city. It's growing and changing rapidly - it's changed a lot even since I've been here and I'm glad to be part of that. The lifestyle is much more relaxed, with great open roads and no major traffic jams, which makes it very easy to get around. Also, it's a much cleaner environment.
If you move to Canberra, give yourself time to adjust and accept the change. Once you meet some great friends you'll enjoy the experience. Plus Sydney is now only a short drive away!
