I returned

Hello, The last occasion that I entered in/I have been on italki was three months ago. I wanted to practice 2 or 3 times a week  but I forgot my promise. This time I want to accomplish my purpose and practice english every week.
Why do I want that? Because a friend said to me yesterday that his girlfriend now lives  in Australia and that this place is one of the best places to live. I want to know/to visit Australia, specifically Melbourne. My friend says that Melbourne is a beautiful city, where the quality of live is very high.
Why not? It would be a big/great experience to live in Melbourne, maybe the best of my life.
Another option is Canada. Many people say that Canada is a good place to live, and I believe the same. When I was studying french my teacher said that Quebec was a city where a person could to learn French and English, earn money and be happy.
