Sonia Alvarez's first trip overseas hasn't gone to plan.
The 58-year-old nurse from Colombia travelled to Sydney with her daughter Camila Cardona and her son-in-law Ricardo Stoltze on March 16 for a three-week holiday.
But it has turned into a two-month-long stay after the borders in Colombia closed and their flights were cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The Colombian trio are not the only tourists stranded in Australia due to restricted international travel.
According to the Department of Home Affairs, there are more than 110,000 tourists in the country.
