Hi, I’m Mandy and this site is all about me, my interests and passions.

This website has grown from a social media experiment, to a blog, and now to the full blown website you are seeing here. As I’ve been on this creative journey, self reflection has led me to identify a few key areas of interest I’d like to share with others:

Photography
Travel
Sustainable Living
and a multitude of other nature based hobbies

While these subjects may appear to be quite different to each other, they are linked together by one common theme – being outdoors.

I invite you to browse at your leisure and hope you enjoy my ramblings.

Yours,

Mandy
