Comfort Zone Stepping out of your comfort zone can lead to amazing experiences. My first step was taken this morning, Lycra, sunscreen and “The Northern Express”. Goodbye Darwin, Broome here I come.

Only one more sleep till Kenny Mac or as I like to call him ‘Old man’ hits the road peddling. Yesterday was the official beginning of the adventure. We set off at 5am to get Dad and his 5 bags (including his man bag) to the airport. The oversize luggage drop off lady didn’t know […]
