Happy New Year!

I’m back after an absolutely blissful three weeks off – the longest holiday I’ve had in two years! My time was split between New Zealand and Melbourne, and once again I was reminded why I love both places so much. New Zealand is just so visually stunning, while Melbourne summer (once it gets going) is so lovely and warm, and very conducive to lying on the beach and lazing about. This holiday also reminded me why it is so important to take regular breaks – I feel more rejuvenated and motivated than I have for a very long time, and I am so excited about the year ahead.

For me, there is nothing better than reconnecting with the world around me – be it the beach, bush, time with family,or just a simple walk in the sun. Below are a few shots from my break, and here’s to a happy, healthy, and productive 2014!
