My journey so far has been an interesting one. Full of awe-inspiring wonderfully incredible highs, and powerfully depressing lows – both of which together have proved something to me – that ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE. Ok ok, I know you’re probably rolling your eyes. But seriously, in my life so far it’s proving true.. for example: I once thought myself the most ugly person in the world – and yet I modelled in Paris, Vienna, Berlin, and LA. At school I was unable to touch my toes – and now I teach Pilates. My worst subject was English – and now I am a writer. I was once a fundamentalist Christian – and now, after a lot of thought, prayer and research, I am not. I thought myself a ‘right-sider’, good at mathematics and business – and now I’m a photographer and writer, believing creativity is the essence of life.
I have done some random things along the way… hosted an arm-wrestling TV show in Japan; I’ve been to incredible parties (nothing will ever beat Brazil’s Carnaval) and spent a mellow two and a half years living with and caring for my late 94-year old grandfather gaining a whole new perspective on life; and now for the first time I am living in the centre of Sydney, writing a book about a three-month travel adventure around South America, and with plans to embark on a PhD exploring narratives of identity, big history and peace.
Through this little slice of cyberspace somewhere on the world wide web, I am offering to share my journey with the hope that you can share your journey with me too. I believe that with an open mind and with the willingness to listen, empathise, share, and grow, we can move toward creating a more peaceful and sustainable planet, for us and the generations to come.
While the “anything is possible” motto is probably the more than overused “you can do it” message they all say, I keep asking for bigger things and time will tell if anything really is possible.
