It’s been a year!

by Kate on September 6, 2011

Well, I’ve been back a year now and can hardly believe it. The last twelve months has been all about documenting the story to realise it’s full potential – to be of most value to others. My book is coming on slowly – I’ve written about 60,000 words so far and I’m generally very pleased with the result. Things have slowed up as I have to work when I can to keep my head above water. In the mean time, this feature article was published in the latest edition of Outer-Edge: Outer Edge magazine, August September 2011 There are more articles in the pipeline.

I’ve been giving a number of presentations to corporates, school students, Rotary Clubs and in a couple of weeks I have a corporate speech to give to AMP in Sydney. As a result of a speaking at The Melbourne Club at their Members and Daughters evening, funds have been donated to the East African famine crisis.

I’ve been mentoring and assisting a number of people with organising their own journeys. Take a look at http://sarahkent.com.au/2011/09/project-africa/  and http://worldbycycle.ismotion.info/ .

Another interesting contribution I made was making an appearance in the “Hot Seat” for Super Clubs Plus, an exciting new educational organisation based in Australia, New Zealand and the UK (but available worldwide) that encourages safe social networking for 8-14 year olds. Here’s a promotional piece: Sport_Fest_2011, SCPlus

I will again be an ambassador for Plan’s Because I Am a Girl campaign – more to come on this one.

The documentary hasn’t got much further, but I’ve been rethinking the pitch and making some more positive connections. It will happen.

Hi Kate,
Had a lovely chance meeting with Jonners last week who told me about another successful expedition. How can I get your book in Uk?
Keep going well. Happy memories!
Best wishes,
Kit
