By on March 12, 2011 in Writing

Some people got it; I don’t. When it comes to being wordy and expressing thoughts in a well-rounded post, I just don’t have it. Some of my readers have commented on my succinctness before, and it blows my mind because I often find that reaching a mere 500 words in a post can be a drawn-out task. I’m just too… Read more

I was feeling a bit philosophical lately after doing some of those recap posts, such as the Story of Brooke vs. the World… Read more. My mind got to thinking about why I’m even in this whole blogging business, and if it is worth continuing (not that I could really give it up). There’s a mad rush in the travel community

News & Updates From My 'Hood

By on April 29, 2010 in Australia, Female Travel, Interviews, Writing

Hey all! I’m going to do a fun little list post here since I didn’t get around to making a nice video for the week. I think I might have been a little hasty with the one video a week idea, but still I will try.
Actually, I’ve been quite busy this past week or so, which is why I… Read more
