Mike Grossman was adamant he wasn’t going to fall for anyone in Australia.
Mike Grossman was adamant he wasn’t going to fall for anyone in Australia.
After all, he’d only be in Melbourne for a couple of months before returning to his life in the U.S. — and Mike “wasn’t a fling type of person.”
But after packing up his life in Boston and beginning the long trek to Melbourne, Mike stopped off at his parents’ house in California, where his mother pulled him aside.
“What will you do if you meet somebody in Australia?” she asked, raising her eyebrows.
“There’s literally no way that’s going to happen,” replied Mike, firmly.
He emphasized that he was going to Australia for work, not to find love.
“I emphatically told my mother that it wasn’t possible,” Mike tells CNN Travel today. “And then off I went.”
