When I started my site over 2 years ago I have to admit, I was a newbie when it came to websites and blogs. I wanted to spread my love and joy of travel by sharing my travel experiences.
During the years I`ve learned more about HTML, writing, photography & so much more. Met amazing people in the travel industry, made life long friends and even met someone special.
Talking to other bloggers and people in the industry, they told me I should switch to WordPress, on many occasions! I knew it would be a big job to get all my posts (over 400) transferred. But the time has come and here we are, my new design is a fact and I couldn`t be happier about it!
I feel like standing at an award ceremony, taking in all the lovely comments on Twitter & Facebook and wanting to come on stage and thank you, my readers for getting me this far. Of course I couldn`t have done the redesign without my logo designer, Federico from www.frvbrandesign.com and the guy who made this all go smoother than I thought: @TheAussieNomad.
It`s been a great journey so far and I can`t wait to see what other surprises this year has in store for me! I look forward to sharing more of my travel adventures with all of you.
What do you think of the redesign?

Wow!
Do you want me to say more! Like: Wow, wow, wow! That sounds a bit like a dog barking already! 🙂
Your re-design looks awesome & it’s worth every single second you put into it! I love it & I’m sure everyone else will do as well! You must be quite proud & if not, it’s about time!
I’m happy for you, that you changed it!

Keith is right, understated in just the right ways … and very elegant, just like you. Congratulations my dear! I know how much work it took and how long a process the entire thing was and I am SO PROUD OF YOU for making the leap and getting it done. I see very very good things in store for you in the future. Even more amazing things than have already happened.
Happy Valentine’s Day! xoxo
