After finishing up as a make-up artist and retail worker, the 27-year-old took some time out from everyday life to travel the globe.
“I did some really awesome things. I used to work in an expedition ship, so I was out at sea for about nine months,” Connie tells Who.
“I lived in Antarctica for a little while… there’s actually no one down there, so you kind of just hang out with penguins and all the wildlife!”
The globetrotter also did the west coast of Africa, the Arctic and Europe, adding, “You just meet so many amazing people along the way.”
But now she’s back home in Melbourne and studying at uni, she’s relying on Australia’s craziest social experiment to find her one amazing person to share her life with – much to her mother’s dismay and her “die-hard fan” sister’s joy.
“When it comes to career and what I want out of life, I know – I’ve been doing that already,” she tells Who.
“It’s the missing piece of the puzzle that I’m looking for now.”
