Falling to earth

So New Zealand has turned into the best places in the world for me and jumping from 12,000ft strapped to a rather hot guy and drifting down to the ground, gliding over middle earth definitely helped. Yes it was as amazing as it sounds.

I've never been a massive adrenaline junkie but someone gives me the chance to skydive over one of the most beautiful places in the world (lake taupo) I'm not going to turn it down. And am I glad I didn't it was hands down the best experience of my life and will stick with me forever, it may also be the start of a beautiful addiction because I will be doing it again.

Kia Ora
Now in with the abundance of amazing things in New Zealand the Maori culture is one of the most awesome parts, it is interagrated effortlessly and perfectly into the kiwi way of life and makes for some of the best experiences. If you ever have the chance to go to a maori culture evening do it! Singing, dancing, art, and the best food you will eat. Cooked in a hole in the ground with the help of the geothermal heat plates of the surrounding area of Rotorua. Being surrounded by the love, and learning the importance of this fantastic culture is one of the most important things you could do embracing the spiritual importance of the land and every aspect of the Mouri's is a wonderful thing.

Packing a punch

So I've started the long arduous journey into my suitcase, well packing it anyway. Not an easy task.
What do you even pack for a 6 week journey with just a backpack, notebook, camera and Dr martens, I mean even Bilbo had a dwarf company heavily armed with excellent hair and a wizard.

Lists are my worst enemy I have this thing where I start writing something then I realise my handwriting sucks so I start over, then I make a mistake, then I've forgotten something, the list (pun intended) just goes on. So I started today with a mental list and visual stimulus dragging everything out of my wardrobe, that is worth wearing and just staring at it for a while. I think it worked my brain is ready for this. Until I have a break down realising I've forgotten everything and nothing is working.

Time for a change

I haven't posted for a long time I've been finding my feet in life again you know the feeling where you're putting your feet to the floor but not moving anywhere? Yeah well that was me.

At 23 I figured I should be finally deciding on something for my life and after loosing someone very close to me a few months ago it opened my eyes to trying out all the things I've wanted to, so I've created a jewellery store, moved forward with makeup and special effects and booked a 6 week trip to Middle Earth better known as New Zealand. A lot in the space of 4 months for an introvert who prefers the company of books and the sofa. But I figured this is it, this is all I have and if I do nothing, then I don't deserve to have the friends, family and health to do things.

I'm rambling I know.

Well my blog is now open for business again and in 48 days it will be my scrap book for 6 glorious weeks of travel and adventure.
