Over the next 12 months, I will be embarking on a number of exciting trips around the world.

As many of you know, I am a strong and avid user of Facebook! But much of the time, I am unable to fully express myself or share extended (somewhat longwinded!) versions of my experiences. After coming home from New York in June 2012 and many of the whānau and friends commenting on how much they enjoyed my pictures and updates, I decided I'd do it properly this time, where I can fully engage in the experience and share these accordingly.

It's my hope that these writings will inspire you in anyway possible. I believe that a dream starts with a seed. If I can offer just one small seed of inspiration to you, to get out there and try something, go somewhere or meet someone then my job here is done.

I shall write from the heart, and not from the head. And I hope you enjoy!
