Hey Christine,
Actually I have made a few appearances in the movies; my biggest flick was The Proze Winner of Defiance Ohio (Dreamworks, with Julianne Moore and Woody Harrelson). Look for the girl in the green dress! I’m a recurring theme singing and dancing through the middle of the movie for about 15 minutes.

Admittedly, the thing I miss the most with my travel lifestyle is the professional acting/singing/dancing (stage and screen) that I did.
Ah well – Hollywood could still come knocking yet! lol

Thanks for your post, this was fun to read! You’re a star, for sure! You should be in the movies, really! Make a reality show about your travels, I’ll bet a TV station would pick it up! They were lucky to have you on their show!

Nancy,
No, amazingly – although it’s “on my list”, I haven’t visited India yet. I’m waiting for the right opportunity to go and do something interesting there!

Hi Nancy,
Not too personal at all – and a very good question! I was lucky in that that my family and friends supported me in my decision to travel full-time and to chase down my dreams.

Shall look forward to finding it again! Loved your blog about the Spanish artist…what an amazing collection of art in a humble little home. Good for you taking the bull by the horns and going in! Those experiences are what traveling is all about to me…..avoiding the madding crowds and finding the jewels!

@Jo – Yes, it’s not well-marked, and when a friend and I returned to Kerosene creek a second time, it took us quite a while to find it, even with explicit directions! But now I’m pretty sure I know where it is, so I’ll be happy to tell you the “secret to Kerosene creek”!

Hey Nora….When I was in my 20’s…a hundred years ago…a friend and I were holidaying in Rotorua and some guys took us to Kerosene Creek which was wonderful, swimming in the dark in such a beautiful place. Well…for years I have wondered where it was and on some visits to Rotorua have tried to find it …to no avail. And now here I find you have been there!!
Maybe when/if you come and stay with me in December you will be able to tell me where it is!!

@Anne – What a treat to have you stop by my blog! I’ve heard lots about you, and hope that we can connect when I’m back in Rotorua (which will be sooner than later, as you probably know)!
