I’m really starting to understand the immensity of the philanthropic world. It seems every time I “peel the onion” and meet another person engaged in a non-profit endeavour it leads to yet another person of the same persuasion. I’m really enjoying the totally different tone of dialogue that exists in the business-of-giving compared to my …
Today Morgan, Simon and I took the first steps toward creating our own brand of creative imagery for Wheel2Wheel. I’ve always found it interesting the way people behave in front of the camera, but today was very refreshing – they are obviously good friends and the rapport that exists between them translates brilliantly in front of …
Today we spoke of the importance of getting some “on the road” time. We agreed we would organise a road trip for when we are all in Australia next. We’ll most likely leave from Morgan’s house in Noosa and make our way south. I’m pretty excited about the ride as it will really give us …

Today I spent two hours with Zorica King learning the basics of Krav Maga. Wow, it was so awesome. I thought I was reasonably fit, but now I really know how much work I have to do to get into shape. Even though it’s only my first session I can already tell these combat …
I was talking a senior real estate professional in Australia today, when I learnt he is also Chairman of a community group called Pilotlight (www.pilotlight.org.au) that raises money and gives to qualified charities. The essence of this cause resembles what we are trying to create through Wheel2Wheel. Subscribe to our Youtube Channel: http://www.youtube.com/Wheel2Wheelchannel Join us on …
Every time I’ve spoken to someone in the last 6 months about travelling through south-east Asia on a motorbike, their routine response is “ooh, you’d better be careful, lots of nasty gangs and militia out there”. So I started doing some research recently to see whether the threat of danger for the Wheel2Wheel team is …
I spoke to my cousin today, who is an avid road traveller in Australia, about some of the possible routes from Darwin to Brisbane. She was a terrific source of information as she had travelled many of the major routes.
