30 Days for 30 Years Christie is a 30-year-old Australian with a penchant for random adventures. 30 Days for 30 Years is a non-stop, fun-filled jaunt around the globe.

Check out 30days30years.com for the latest on her book and new project 30 Days - The Collection Fabulous people, fabulous food, fabulous adventures. Well, in my head it is at least. Unfortunately I know the reality will be a little less rosy. For an entire year, I will be travelling on 12 crazy whims, relying on my nous, or lack thereof, and the kindness of strangers. I have no support, no compani

ons, and nowhere to stay at this point. And to make matters worse I have a limited budget – less than $1000 AUD a month – due to a perverse obstinance to make it too easy for myself. This trip will be challenging, confronting, and at times, I’m sure, lonely. It will require a degree of fortitude even the most seasoned traveller would find hard to muster. But I am determined… and not adverse to living off tinned peas and carrots if required! Welcome to my bucket list – 30 Days for 30 Years.

Why do some people wonder ‘what would happen if…’ (and promptly book a flight to somewhere wild and exotic), while others sit in their comfort zones asking ‘but what if?’

Check out this month's Women's Health & Fitness Magazine to see what Pip Ink has to say about taking risks. My 30 Days for 30 Years adventure features as an example of someone connecting with their inner daredevil to do something different with their lives.

My part is appropriately dubbed “The Happiness Risk”.

It’s the question that seems to have defined me during the last 10 months. It’s the first question friends, family and acquaintances ask me when I bump into them on the street, answer the telephone or receive an email. Sometimes I wonder what they ever asked me before.

How we met:Jodie and I went to university together. We don’t see each other often – in fact I reckon it’s been about 10 years since our last face-to-face encounter – but we always keep an eye on each other from afar, knowing that if we needed to, we could pick up the phone and the other would be the...

There might not be a Bear in Colorado but there were plenty of people offering American Bear's Sarah and Greg a bear hug on their heart-warming journey. Share their story of kindness on your page and keep any eye out for their movie, which is coming soon. :)
