About this blog

Hi everyone,

I found an old school report card from primary 3 while packing up my stuff for the year at my parents house. For the English section, the teacher had made the comment "likes writing stories" - some things never change! Enjoy!!

What this entry should hopefully cover by the end: - South America, starting in Peru - New Zealand - from Auckland to Christchurch - Australia - Melbourne to Brisbane; Perth to Darwin - Bali - South East Asia - Singapore to Bangkok

How exciting!! Keep in touch love Kathryn xoxox
