I like to think that I am one of the loudest characters that you will ever meet, all my clothes are quite bright and I laugh quite loud and I laugh quite a lot…I guess a lot of people would tick me off as nuts…

Hmm.. not sure about nuts but definitely out there. I’m totally challenging you to a ‘who laughs the loudest’ contest sometime over the next couple of months though!

Bring it on girl… it will just end up in us laughing so hard we forgot why we were laughing! Anyway back to the point, I also like to think that I am one of the most private people you would ever meet… there are levels. Like Shrek says, I’m an Onion. We are all onions and it’s what makes us all fantastic. I quite like onions. I mean when you start to get to know Bec a little more you find out all kinds of crazy things 😉

Metaphorically speaking only.. the vegetable is gross!

I’m sitting here in my flat looking at my packed bags and just can’t quite seem to put into words the past year… It’s hard to believe this time last year I was among a group of wonderful volunteers as well as the fantastic Bec and were meeting beautiful animals and this time around, Bec and myself are going back to work. The goodbyes before travelling last year just seemed to be very different, this year it is difficult to place my finger as to why.

I think it feels different only for us.. Last year opened our eyes and gave us direction, I can’t help but feel this year it’s a massive turning point and we are going to change and develop so much from it all. It’s going to be the pinnacle for the rest of our lives. When I think of it as a whole, I feel the word ‘change’ screaming and strumming through me.

2015 flashed by! Where did it go?! Most of the year was preparing and planning this trip… I mean how much planning have we done Bec?! Seriously! Hostels were booked months ago, books were read and websites were clicked on over and over again, maybe this was partly to do with it all.

We literally spent the WHOLE year planning this and just adapted our plans as the year went on with what was coming at us. From getting the job, to planning our trips to other countries and then the blog. It started as just one little seed that turned into a massive Acacia tree branching off everywhere.

This is true, I don’t think I ever really stopped and breathed London… not that I would, I mean the air is grim, I speak metaphorically of course.. Now I sit back and it washes over my face like a splash of cold water after a hangover.

What a year it has been, working with the homeless I returned to a few shelters with my very good friend Rupna and saw fantastic changes, saw some of the boys that I ran drama workshops with and saw them breathe a new life, an emotion that my little ticker just explodes over. I began to work in a new area and met people that I will hold close to my heart for the rest of my travels, Molly, Daniella, Inma, words cannot express my love and admiration for you.

Hi Bex’s friends 🙂

I moved in with my wonderful boyfriend, fell more and more in love, experienced a relationship grow for its pureness. Nothing has been an easy ride, but boy has it been a fantastic year.

The best things are the ones that have made us grow.

I then question the need to travel, and all my emotions combine into a jar that feels like it has been shaken a thousand times, the outcome is that my urge to breathe life and have my feet moving is a stronger need than anything I have known. Its taken me a while to process leaving again, but my golly gosh am I ready?! I think its time again…

It’s always the right time to travel again.. My feet are itching like crazy to get going again!

Goodbye London. Hello Madrid. Hello again South Africa.

Yeah bye Sydney LOL

OMG I’M GETTING ON A PLANE IN 10 HOURS. ARE WE THERE YET???

Bec & Bex
