So I guess 2013 has started and I find myself in a good place that I've been working towards for the past several years. I should be excited and happy, but there is something that is holding me back from celebrating.  Its been a year since my gran passed away and my birthday will never be the same as the memory of her passing falls on this day. Its a sad day, but also I see it as a memory of her that I should always cherish because of the life that she lived, and her passing on my birthday is maybe a message of her saying that she will always be there. I dont know, its just crazy to think that a year has gone by of her not being here. 

2012 was a year that all my hard work paid off and I got my TV Show picked up by Fox International Networks and come July 1st 2013 my Show airs on TV. I am excited for this day, because I had a lot to prove to myself that anything is possible if you just believe in can be done. So your thinking that wow, I should celebrating none stop. Im really content and humble with my show, Im in a good place and state of mind, Im travelling the world and having an adventure. 

I got asked a question the other day why am I still single. I have a good life and having someone involved in my life isnt fair as I am a nomad and have no roots anywhere, I live out my suitcase and always on the move. So imagine how hard it would be to have someone in my life that I will never get to see. I see my friends and the relationships that they are in and in all honesty that isnt for me right now. I love the fact that when Im on the open road I can take in my surroundings and breathe in the in air and gather memories of my adventures. 


I was on top of Mount Kenya during the filming of the Kenyan Episode of the show, and there was this moment during the hike that I felt something that I havent felt in a long time and that was pure freedom. I was so off the beaten track of life that the only thing that was on my mind was I wish i could fly and float with the clouds. The sky was blue and the air so crisp. The clouds in the sky slowly started to set off my imagination of the shapes that started to form. 


I see 2013 being one of my last years on the continent of Africa for awhile as I know i will be  in Europe and the States a lot. I guess right now im finding where I can plant my roots in the world, I might even settle down and try this relationship thing that everyone is on about. I dont know what is in store for me, I dont know whats going to happen to me for the rest of the filming in Africa. This point of time, im loving me time and taking full advantage of it. So please bear with me and sorry if i forget to call you back!!!
