Following Chris Guillebeau’s footsteps, I’ll be sitting down in a couple weeks for a few days and going over what I accomplished this year and plan out what I want to do next year. I sort of did this without really thinking about it last year and it worked wonders. Actually formalizing the process and [...]

I’ve been trying to come up with a format for personal development posts that works for me. I’ve plenty experience learning new things and doing as much as I can to better myself but I’ve never really written about the experience. I wish I could remember in detail the first times I wakeboarded, snowboarded or [...]

By that I mean Wellington. Because of it’s position and the weather in the area, Wellington is an incredibly windy city. I got to experience first hand what the wind was like on my last run there. I was only going to spend one night in Wellington because I wanted to get moving North and [...]

Initially I went past Brisbane and Surfers to get down to Lennox Head for a friends birthday but I made it back up to spend a couple days there and wander around. I had been told that it’s the least interesting of the big cities in Australia sorely lacking in things to do and see. [...]

I don’t know exactly what it is.  It’s hard to say exactly how it feels but it just feels good. I’m always busy with one thing or another and it’s so easy to put it off to the next day and the next day. When I do manage to scrape together the motivation to actually [...]
