write a short story.
topic? 9 months ago

I’ve had thoughts of writing a life guide for my children, if and when they turn up.

They say the definition of wisdom is where you learn from other’s mistakes instead of from your own. If i could pass down some valuable life lessons and impart some wisdom then maybe I wouldn’t feel so selfish?



Explore New Zealand in a camper van
Camper Van Rental vs Purchase? 9 months ago

$60nz/day is pretty reasonable for a short duration, but I fancy doing this properly and touring over a 3 month stint.

Sail around the UK (read all 2 entries…)
training 9 months ago

Despite working out the basics of sailing in the past, i have come to the conclusion i really will need some formal training before undertaking this, as there are some treacherous waters around the UK, especially around scotland.
