I had grand plans of writing extensive blog posts about my trip to Europe but considering i’m now half way through, i’ll summarise here and expand later..
Poland
Spent a few days in Lodz, Poland with my fathers side of the family. The picture below is of me and my cousin. I can honestly say that I […]

It’s Christmas morning in Australia (the rest of the world has to wait for the sun) and instead of the usual family tradition of kicking back and watching DVD’s all day, Ruth & I are headed off to the US for a quick holiday.
Interestingly, due to the time difference, we will arrive in Los Angeles […]
