“my home far away from home”

Ritz is family! i've spent my first four months in australia there and i must say i would come back there (maybe soon :P) as it really holds precious memories. i stayed in the 10 Female dorm and it was amazing room with plenty of space, windows and light. cleanings are regular and well made, people are willing to make you fill at home and kitchen is spacious. Ritz can only be experienced on your own skin to understand how special it is! i'm travelling around australia right now and Ritz keeps strongly his gold ranking #1 . i miss you Ritz!
