just wondering

I know this is outrageous and am not sure yet if I'd do it but here goes. I am an RN, 45 years old and live in Brisbane Queensland Australia with my husband of 24 years. We have 2 sons 22 and 20 who are taking care of themselves now and consequently we would like to start travelling to places we've never been. I have always wanted to travel to the US and have a look around (especially your national parks). I do however recognise that when travelling to places never visited before not only can this be daunting, but it also means one is caught in the tourist trap. Usually the only experiences are those designated by tour operators and the little gems get missed.

So here is my idea. What if a nurse and their family in America would like to visit Australia, specifically Queensland, but were put off by the same things I mentioned above. What if that nurse and I became friends online and we got comfortable enough with each other over time that I would be happy for them to come visit with us and we could show them around. Then, what if the experience was so great that the American nurse felt OK about us coming to visit them and they could show us around. Wouldn't that be great. Anybody interested in exploring this idea with me further please feel free to email me so we can make tentative steps towards this goal. Sounds great to me...... Hope to hear from an interested person/s soon.
