About Me


Hi all,
I'm Mel.  I'm 28 years old, I come from the South Island of New Zealand and I'm about to embark on the journey of a lifetime! :D
Every continent except Antarctica and all in 10 months - aaahhh!!!
Super excited!  So, what is there planned along the way...well, you'll just have to wait and see ;)  I can tell you there's buses, planes, backpackers, schools, more planes, hospitals, people, more planes and buses, random food and mucho mucho dancing involved!
So, before I begin this journey I'd like to share a bit about myself and my take on life.  I am a disciple of Jesus Christ and wholeheartedly believe in his redemption and saving grace.  He has brought me through many difficult times and I trust Him to lead and guide me each day.  I am not perfect and will never claim to be; I live under His grace and mercy and am eternally grateful for that.  He is God Almighty and above Him there is no other god.  His forgiveness is all encompassing and in Him you can find refuge and a second chance (and third and fourth....)
If you'd like to know more I've attached a wee (Kiwi & Scottish term for small - you will see this a LOT in my blogs!) summary for you (hopefully I've attached it right - this is all new to me lol!)

Well, now I'm 29 years old and you will note by my blog that my overseas journeys have come to a close (for now at least).  Back home to the joys of daily life in 'Paradise on Earth' (aka Aotearoa, New Zealand).  :)
