Here is what I know!

 I might only be almost half way to half way in terms of years but for what it's worth of my life so far 

                                                      ... here’s what I know...

1.     There is an adventure in everything, never stop searching for it.

2.     No matter how much I try, I still can’t drink beer.

3.     Travelling is not as easy a putting a backpack on, sometimes you have to stand in some pretty nasty sh*t.

15. Home is always better when you’re away from it.

16. Money doesn’t grow on trees and unfortunately runs out at the end of a years worth of no work :)

17. Beach loungers are infinitely better than just towelling it – no matter the cost.

18. Seeing dolphins will always make you smile or squeal like a little girl.

19. Champagne mixed with any other alcoholic beverage gives you a mean hang over.

26. There is no such thing as ‘enough money’.

27. Coke and chocolate don’t go well together.

28. Schnitzel with loads of lemon could solve all the worlds’ problems.

29. Wine in the shower is a great way to keep on par with everyone else, the effort dos not go unnoticed.

30. Playing with walkie talkies is still as much fun as it was when I was 8.

31. Waiting till midday to have a drink is silly and poor time management.

32. If it makes you happy – do it, if it doesn’t, then don’t!

33. You could probably eat a whole lot more Brie than you think you could.
