This blog very nearly didn't happen. I'm a private person. At my age - I hate rejection. I just can't quite believe that I pushed the "Publish" button.
Question? - Do I need the hassle involved with the complexity of setting up a blog? Bear in mind, Facebook and Twitter are an unknown to this novice!
2011 dawned for a Libran woman. Out of character, I jump ship. I make a commitment to writing -my passion exposed.
Question - why did it take so long? . Well, it's frightening to bare your soul - an unknown audience lurks in the deep, dark depths of cyber space - scary stuff! Imagine the possibility of old friends and next door neighbours indulging in blogging!
I've created this blog as a writing tool - a commitment to a daily, weekly cyber audience - As I share my writing, I ask you to place feedback - I value your thoughts and comments.
For those interested, I intend to post random blogs and photographs from our travels of the past decade - a mixture of cycling, walking and family holidays.
A question for you?- Would you have left your comfort zone, family, home, secure jobs and fabulous salaries to travel the world on a bicycle? Well, I intend to introduce you to those nomads that did!
This is a community blog with a common touch - I'm not a political or religious animal (unless something really pisses me off.) Yet, I'm proud to say I've lived the majority of my life in Napier, New Zealand. I intend to introduce you to my community, my family and friends (I'll get permission, of course). And, most importantly, I'll include some fantastic and creative photographs taken by my husband, Brian .
Well done Andrea.
ReplyDeleteWe thoroughly enjoyed reading your posts from the South America trip. As well as being an interesting area to learn about and learn about what cycling there is like, your style of writing made it an even better read.
Brian showed me some photos of other cycling trips before you went to South America -that conversation has resulted in my business being sold and plans being made for a long European trip (maybe some deserts and mountain passes later).
We look forward to reading your stories on travels and your thoughts on a cycling life.
Brian and Elizabeth, New Plymouth
Good idea Andrea. Pam and I enjoyed your recent journey and followed your progress with interest. I think you and Stitty are losing the plot!!! I enjoy my style of mountain biking and road cycling in a bunch, but no way would I do some of the stuff you two have done. I admire you for it though.
ReplyDeleteNot sure about this blogging stuff, you will have to train me!!
who knows, it may be a good way to catch up with you two wordly travellers
