I tried to think of a brilliant way to start this post. I desperately wanted to channel my inner Ann Voskamp and write something eloquently beautiful and poetic about all that I saw today but, honestly, all I’ve been able to come up with is… HOT DOG, I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE AFRICAN […]

I’ve been hard at work on my book lately. I’m not going to finish it by June, but I’ve got momentum going now so I fully intend to finish by the end of the summer. Want to read a little more? For some context here is Sneak Peek Part One, Part Two and Part Three. […]
[Continue reading...]I love travelling, particularly international travelling. I love the adventure of it, the excitement of boarding a plane and not knowing what might happen.
