Exactly, CT that was just what I was referring to, although Australia might not be a typical destination. Hatzlacha and all our brochos to her.
Abba_S- I know many shidduchim that happened (I mean couple got engaged) when someone went to a different country on vacation or for some specific purpose like a simcha, and they met their spouse when they were there. Others purposely took an extended vacation to some new destination for dating purposes (true, not everyone can do this, but there are many singles who work in the school system and have off summers, or people who can telecommute for a time). Still others who were “stuck”and decided “meshana makom meshane mazal”, did pick themselves up and move, finding a new job and new place to live, and many of those did B”H get married to someone they met in the new place.
