Due to a manic schedule and travelling I have neglected a fair few questions that I've been ask recently, but here go some replies!

Where have you travelled?

I travel a lot, and have travelled even more recently, which is why my blog posts are becoming scarce :(. Firstly, I reside in Australia, but travel to New Zealand 2-3 times per year as that is where I am from and where my family lives. I have also travelled through the UK, Europe, Middle East and South East Asia. More specifically; England (London and surrounds), Belgium, Netherlands (Amsterdam), Germany (St Goar, Munich, Dacheau), Austria (Innsbruck), Italy (Rome, Florence, Venice), Switzerland (Lucerne), France (Paris, Bordeaux), Abu Dhabi and Indonesia. My partner and I have also just booked a trip to America over christmas at the end of this year and I couldn't be more excited.  

What is the best thing that has ever happened to you?

Pour your heart out in two paragraphs.

I almost did that in the above paragraphs, but here goes nothing!

I don't know where I am going in life, and maybe for the first time, that is completely fine with me. For the very first time, I am sitting back and enjoying this ride, letting things fall into place (seemingly perfectly of late) and work things out for themselves. In the last few months, I have watched things fall into place around me and I couldn't be happier. I have the most wonderful man who makes me pretty damn happy and I have a glorious family who provide me with more than I could ever ask for. 

This life is so temporary, so fragile, and it could end at any given moment so I think it is important to just be as happy as possible and not worry about the things that are out of our control. So many people fuss over such unnecessary details and forget how beautiful this life is and how lucky we are to be here. Stop, breathe, relax and look around at all the things that you are blessed to have.  

You always post about music. Do any songs make you cry?

So many songs overwhelm me. It is that feeling when someone captures exactly how you are feeling and you scream at the radio/ipod - or whatever you use - waving your hands saying "THATS IT! THAT IS EXACTLY IT! HOW DID YOU KNOW! HOW DO YOU EXPRESS IS SO FLAWLESSLY?" Music is something I connect with on such a high level. But to answer your question, one song that always gets me is 'Dancing in the Dark', by Bruce Springsteen. My uncle had that song at his funeral on repeat when he passed and if you could ever wrap someone's personality in a song, Bruce did it. After all,  you can't start a fire without a spark.

Keep asking!
