So another year comes to an end and again it seems to have flown by. To sum up how incredible it is in one post is simply impossible, but I would like to share some highlights.
I would also just like to say, sorry! To you, and to myself. I love writing. I really do. And this year, I’ve not made time for it and not shared all my wonderful experiences in the way I truly want to. I get to see and do so many amazing things, I’ve actually at times not had the headspace to recount it. But I know when I do, I love it and it’s worth it. So in 2016, expect to hear a lot more from me as I again make my writing a priority.
Here are the highlights:
– ringing in the new year in London with one of my most wonderful friends, comedian Abigoliah.
– Skiing in Germany for the first time with my friend of many years Tobi
– Cycling in Vietnam with 32 Dutch women who raised more than $240,000 for girls education.
– Trekking to Everest Base Camp with 18 amazing people and raising more than $100,000 as a team for World Vision Australia.
– Meeting my World Vision sponsor child Kamala in her home town in Nepal.
– Running my first ever social media workshop in Sydney
– Getting my diving license after doing a training course with my wonderful boyfriend Matt.
– Moving to Melbourne for 3 months to work with World Vision Australia in their media team. Something I had always dreamed about, the one company I wanted to work for.

“There are so many reasons to be Happy” what a beautiful way to close off 2015 and head into an incredible New Year! I feel so blessed to have experienced to learn from, family and friends to love and who I know love me, and a wonderful world to explore Xoxox Happy New Year everyone
