So I have competed the Hudson from Albany to Beacon without even a canoe lesson – without Ninth Wave Global it would’ve been impossible. With constant encouragement and support.

To b taken away from the norm and only worry about survivalContinue reading “Hudson completion, family healing and a hidden gem”

Just to let everyone know that I am having the experience of a lifetime never in my wildest dreams did I think I’d do something like this. We’ve crossed the desert in New Mexico- the lava stones and seen some wonderful sights and covered part of Route 66. The sense of community in this partContinue reading “An amazing adventure”

So here’s the thing – I do a 4 flight journey to Campeche, Mexico, one of them being long-long-haul for 10 hours. I arrive exhausted and very late at night. The girl organiser, Yvette, pulls up at the airport with her friend Charlotte, they have just been out. The car is old. We then driveContinue reading “Scared in Mexico and adventure looms”

As a re-think I have also applied for post-graduate study into theContinue reading “Waiting in Limbo, Research and Mature not “Old.””

I spoke to my tutor I had on my exchange with Canada and she told me toContinue reading “Toronto update, Vancouver, Mexico and Happy New Years”

Met with Chi Chi this week and she asked me to support her as she was talking at a Conference at the University. She did really well and it was great to see her – we always reminisce when we get together. We were laughing about the times that she used to put the heatingContinue reading “Chi Chi shines, Work Opportunites and Canada”

Exciting times…………. Last night I put my application in for Toronto University, Canada, for my Masters. It’s ranked 17th best university in the world and the course looks amazing. How great would it be to get there, but, I have to get good grades from Derby. I know one of our new term modules atContinue reading “New Term and My Journey”

Many people that I know do not watch the news anymore. Can we not report of positive, proactive issues?
