A few days ago I really didn’t feel as though I was making any progress at all in anything - not in my dissertation, not in podcasting and not in the planning for the PCH and Baja Divide. To be honest, I was getting very overwhelmed by everything that I had going on, so much so, I just stopped. I didn’t know where to start, or what to start on. I just kept going round and round in circles. Which obviously does nothing at all, apart from making me more annoyed at myself for no

After being away for 3 weeks, I knew it was going to be challenging coming back. But I am where I am and I knew this was going to happen. Now it’s all about getting organised and getting on top of everything, so I feel more in control. I basically need about a day or two to get things sorted. I can then start looking ahead once I’ve caught up. Money Update At the moment, I don't have any more expenses coming up over the next few months (Just PT (£300) and getting some massage

When you take on a new challenge, you are always going to be stepping outside of your comfort zone and this is important as this is how you are going to grow and develop. This is where you need to develop new skills and attributes in order to become the person who can do this challenge. This is the hard bit, this is what you can over think, this is what can stop you before you’ve even begun. I do have thoughts running around my head, as at the moment, I don’t know what to do…

Or a taxi will cost about $35 plus tip, approx 30 minutes. Graduation - my Masters graduation is taking place on the 12th of December. I’m going

I really want to share more about the planning and preparation and what goes on behind the scenes. I think so often, people only get to see the glamorous side of adventures and not the reality of what it is like to get everything ready to undertake a challenge like this. I’m going to share as much as I can about what I need to do to get everything ready. I’ll be documenting the journey and showing you how I mange it, how I figure stuff out and what I do, to get stuff done. At

So you want to go on a Big Adventure? You have a burning urge to go somewhere and explore something. To take on an adventure that’s tough enough to challenge you and change you. But you’re not quite sure what it is you actually want to do. Rest assured, you’re not alone. Sure, some people have an idea that’s been burning a hole in the sensible part of their brain for years. A dream journey that they’re longing to go on. If that’s you, pat yourself on the back and go get a cup

It’s not long to go now until the start of the New Year, 2015 here we come! To say I’m excited is an understatement. I love having a fresh start, being able to wipe the slate clean, to start anew and to really set myself up for success. I find it such an exciting time! Having a goal gives you a purpose and something to aim towards; it helps to propel you forward and gives your life structure.
