Our third story today, and maybe the last entry in the March competition, is from another regular contributor, Robyn Boswell. You can read her latest fascinating travel story Panda Eyes here.
| Robyn Boswell I live in the beautiful far north of New Zealand surrounded by beaches and forests. My family have lived here since the earliest days of settlement in New Zealand. |  |
My retirement has given me a new lease of life. My entire career was in education. In 1989 I discovered the International Future Problem Solving Program and was the first teacher to teach it in New Zealand. A couple of years later I became the New Zealand Director, a voluntary position I’ve held ever since and this has been my passion in life. Through the programme I have been able to slake my appetite for travel with 17 trips to the USA to attend the International Finals. I wanted to travel since I was six and my great aunt worked as a stewardess on cruise ships around the world and came home on rare occasions to share her adventures in slideshows that I found mesmerizing. I’ve been lucky enough to spend 13 months travelling in Europe and the UK, 3 months camping in the Australian Outback and various trips through the South Pacific and Asia. A last I have time to travel again and am enjoying having the time to rediscover my own beautiful country and our beautiful South Pacific as I have taken up cruising.
I have chronicled my trips through scrapbooking and journal writing so my memories are always with me.
