Reclaiming My Future

I’m going to go ahead and admit something shocking; I wasn’t that impressed when I first saw Victoria Falls Zambia It’s an amazing place but because I was there in the dry season, it just wasn’t a ‘wow’ place since, instead of the continual sheet of water thundering over the top, there were several smaller [...]

If you ask people where they want to go on their adventures, their answer will be ‘travel the world’ but most people don’t really mean it, I know I don’t and you probably don’t either. In case you haven’t noticed, the world is pretty big. There’s a lot of ground (and sea) to cover and [...]

It was 5am on September 19 2011 when I woke up to visit Chobe National Park. I had no idea that it would become the day that Africa stole my heart. Snuggled up in layers and my sleeping bag, I stepped on to the safari truck and headed into Chobe National Park, one of the [...]

I started to change my life at the weekend…I began sorting through my things so I could see what I wanted to sell for my Australia fund and by the end of my sorting, I said goodbye to someone I will not miss…Old Me.   You see, it’s not that I didn’t like the Old [...]

Almost the entire world and their dead grandparents seems to be on Facebook these days but you know that we all have things that makes us think ‘I hate Facebook!’. Here’s why… I hate Facebook because… You send me friend requests from people I don’t know. We all get them. You see the notification and [...]

I don’t particularly like Christmas. Well I do, I just get so sick of the long-winded run-up to it that I feel it’s lost its magic but I’ve now discovered my own random reasons for enjoying it: – Alcohol (all day) From the moment you wake up alcohol can touch your lips without thinking you [...]

Etosha National Park (or just Etosha for short) in Namibia was my first experience game-driving (or safari as it’s otherwise called – it’s so awesome it gets two names!) and it was one that I won’t be forgetting in a hurry.  We arrived mid-afternoon, set up camp and then headed out on a two hour [...]
