A Little Lamb, a Big Fight and a Whole Lot of Hope
Well, this morning the sun finally decided to put in an appearance after a couple of days of rain and grey skies. And just when I thought it was going to be a lovely, peaceful morning, the Gaucho appeared carrying a tiny lamb in his arms. Unfortunately, this little girl was in a very bad…

The Farm’s Newest Pet Condo
Well, life is certainly never dull at the farm! My little hutch, which was originally built for the lambs, has now become something of a farm animal share house. At night, the lambs, turtles and the little pullets all pile in together, proving once again that apparently nobody here believes in personal space! And there…

Maybe Paraguay Knows Something We Don’t…

About Me
Happy, grateful, and full of joy – that’s how I see my life. Growing up in the small country town of Karaka, New Zealand, I was a curious little girl who dreamed of seeing the world. At 14, I took my first trip overseas to Fiji, and since then I’ve explored 66 countries, each adventure filling me with wonder at new cultures, unexpected moments, and the thrill of discovery.
I’ve leapt from planes, dived into unseen depths of the ocean, pedaled across borders, and roared through deserts on motorbikes. From crossing the Gobi Desert on two wheels to cruising down to Antarctica, from riding through roads less traveled to moments that took my breath away, I collect memories, not possessions.
