Life is a series of crossroads. The choices we make determine the next direction we will go in. How we make the choice is often just as important as the choices we make. Friends are the roads we travel along and good friends are always with us helping, guiding and caring. I am proud to have many good friends. I don't see them as often as I would like, but the thoughts, care and guidance are still always there. I love my friends. I value my friends. Nowhere has that been more obvious to me than on my recent visit to Saint Petersburg. Not only did I meet up with my longstanding friend, ilmera, but I also made new friends at the same time. The world is full of incredible people and I'm proud to be able to say that I know a lot of them
My personal crossroads have allowed me to travel the world. I started life with nothing and I still have most of it. I have recently written a book about my travels in New Zealand which I hope will get published one day. If you happen to be a publisher looking for a book on skanking around in Aotearoa, please, please, please leave a message - anywhere - I promise to get back to you. Sorry - that sounded a bit desperate didn't it?
If you want to leave a message or comment on anything at all, please feel free. I would be delighted to hear from you, honestly. I'm always up for new friends, so please just leave a comment to introduce yourself and add me, I will add you back.
Welcome to my LJ world.
Google Translate helps me to read journals written in other languages. While it is far from perfect, and will have to do until I find a better translator, it is much more capable than I am, particularly when it comes to Russian!

I suppose I ought to point out that all images appearing in this Live Journal are copyrighted to me, unless stated otherwise. So please enjoy my pics but please don't rip me off. End of official type bit.
I am proud to be the maintainer of
nz_photo, a community devoted to photos taken in New Zealand.
