Here it is, my first blog!!!!
OK so maybe I shouldn’t be admitting that but I am all about wearing my heart on my sleeve and being honest. I don’t think that should change, after all, I am hoping it is this part of my personality (which is the only style that I know) that will be enough to make blogging a regular hobby of mine! I just have to speak about my experiences and keep everything crossed that you, as the reader, will like me enough to continue reading!!

So here I am … entering the blogosphere!!
I am a positive people-person and enjoy making new friends which I appear to do quite easily – I can happily chat the night away with someone I have just met! If I can pass anything onto others that I have learnt in life then I feel I have achieved ..... I feel I have made a difference .... and that makes me happy.
I am not too proud to admit that I have done some research into blogging and I don’t mind sharing with you that when I first heard about “blogging” a few years ago, I didn’t really know what it was about. Whilst researching and reading various websites, I realised that I have actually being doing this the whole of my travelling life, however back in the 00’s this was in the form of emails to my friends back home – more em-logging than web-logging!
Whilst de-cluttering our garage full of travelling photos and memorabilia, I found old journals and copies of emails that I had written from my time spent in Africa, Thailand, Malaysia and Australia and it was only then that I thought “maybe I can actually do this!!”

I am not a journalist, I have never worked within media and am only at the beginning of the long road ahead learning about how to make social media and blog websites work for me.
Of course I know how to update my Facebook statuses and tag friends in photos, but media for a business requires a different approach!
I know I will make mistakes along the way as I find my feet, after all, a blogger’s style is all in their head and you don’t really know how you come across to others!
I will have to try not to worry too much about what people think of me as I share my personal memories, my innermost thoughts of joy (or fear) and any recommendations that I may have.
All I can do is promise you, as the person taking the time to read what is in my head, that I may not always be eloquent and yes I may go off on a tangent, however I will always be truthful – regardless of how crazy I may appear!
