I have 2 backup options that I've been thinking about for a while. I'm a citizen of Portugal and Australia. But the 10 year ban is what's stopping me from going. That and the idea that if I move to Australia I would have to start from scratch with no family whatsoever there. =/ Tough decisions await.
