Never too Old!
 On 31 Dec 06, at 53 years of age, I was made redundant. Prior to that, I had worked for over twenty two years without taking any long service leave, and only three or four times taking a holiday longer than two weeks. So in effect I am taking my long service leave now in 2007, and spending 5 months travelling the world. This is my adventure.
My second adventure began in 2008 when I enrolled as a full-time student at University of Sunshine Coast to do a Bachelor of Communication Degree. After a month in Phuket, Thailand, gaining some hand-on experience at electronic publishing - see http://www.magicbrochures.com/ - I'll be heading off to USA on student exchange to University of Wyoming in Laramie, Wyoming.
Who knows where this adventure will end. |
