VSO 100 Things

The Reason

In June 2009 I hit the big 2-0, making me realise how many things I'd been meaning to do but had simply never got round to doing; so I began making a list of 100 things I'd never done before. This challenge has taken me to the top of mountains, got me on national TV, put me through rather a lot of pain, and helped me raise hundreds of pounds for various charities. Every time I complete a task I'll update this blog by adding a picture as proof. So be sure to become a follower and track my progress!

50. Live in another country.


50 things down! After a whirlwind 7 months, from Kakamega to Nairobi, living in countless houses, homes and hotels, my stay in Kenya is up. Pictured above with the inspirational and extraordinary Mama Grace and Baba Jeremiah.

28. Sing and dance in the rain.


Despite being warned that things were going to get pretty wet, I still opted to wear skinny jeans and loafers. But after getting wetter than wet, wading through rapids, chasing monkeys and singing Disney songs, we stopped for an impromptu celebratory dance.

20. Watch a sunrise.


After a long journey, an early start, and a difficult climb, we made it to the highest point of Kakamega forest to watch the sunrise.
