I’m not a runner.
I’ve said this more times in my life than I’d like to admit. Running has never been my thing, even though I’ve attempted to make it my thing various times.

If you’ve read any of my recent blog posts or follow me on social media, I’m sure you’ll be well aware that I spent the first four months of the year in Australia and New Zealand. It really was the best experience of my life for countless reasons, one of which being that I had the breathing space and time to learn lots about myself.
Our final month of travelling has sadly come to an end, but it was full of moments to remember!
Every time I sit down to write a new blog, I’m shocked by how quickly our travels are going. What a rollercoaster of a first month we’ve had in New Zealand!
