thanks for that Juweon!

You would be wise to do something centered on activities and options for family travel to the GBR, or a luxury spa/golf getaway, show your ability to reach beyond your own demographic and appeal to a more mature family-oriented audience, and afflu...

I can understand their not opening it up to everyone, for the simple fact that they probably don't want to deal with the server issues and increasing capacity as TQ had to fumble through. But seriously, how many of those top 50 applicants were act...

I'm Already a Winner

But before you read this, please check out my official application here!

Now, as I was saying...
I've come to realize that this opportunity, for which over 8,000 people feel they are tailor-made for, goes well beyond Hamilton Island. I mean, just look at the talent and creativity and various backgrounds and professions that people have - people are networking and collaborating and putting their minds together, and it's fascinating to imagine that all the ideas being tossed around could develop into something completely different, and equally successful. I wouldn't be surprised if many people get jobs, features, shows, assignments, or at least some contract work, out of this whole process. In fact, I'm hoping that very much for myself. I'd consider this whole process a huge success and worth every moment of investment even if I don't land the Island Caretaker job, don't make the shortlist, but still walk away with more opportunity and inspiration than I had coming in. So in my mind, I'm already a winner. I'm just waiting for some brilliant mind with more time than I have to create the "Island Reef Rejects Job Board" portal! Oh, and please feel free to message me for openings, collaboration, tele-commuting assignments, stock photography, book deals, print modeling, travel show pitches....did I say travel show? Wow, I just gave myself shivers...

Now that you've read this, check me out again!

At the Copa.....Copacabana....

Hey Ning amigos!
Just checking in from Brazil to report that I´m alive and itching after 4 days in the Pantanal! Worth every bite, its an amazing place! Unfortunately my laptop couldn´t take the heat and refuses to turn on now (anyone had this happen to their mac?), so I am limited to hotel public computers and cannot post the blog articles and photos the way I´d like to until I get back home :(. But I have managed to post a quick synopsis with a slideshow of Brasilia, the capital, so please che… Continue

Speaking of Rainforests....and for them....

Woohoo! Exciting news to share with my Island Caretaker family! I just learned today that this photo I took will be featured in an eco-friendly Calendar titled "RAINFORESTS 2010" for international distribution! Here's to hoping one page in a calendar can make a world of difference to the planet. Please visit my blog to read more, and show your support by adding a link in your comment. Let's see how many websites we can find out there to raise awareness… Continue

Samantha Brown and Rick Steves: Insights from two of the Best in the Field

This past weekend I had the incredible opportunity to see, hear, and meet two of the best in the field of being "in the field" and hosting great travel shows, Samantha Brown and Rick Steves. They have the jobs we all dream of, right? They get to travel the world, followed around by a camera, and share their adventures, experiences, and travel tips with the rest of us. And we love them for it!
Well, I do anyway. Hosting a travel show is about the only thing still missing from my resume, and since… Continue

I've been interviewed!

I may not land the the Best Job in the World with Tourism Queensland, or even make the short list, but I already feel like a winner with just the experience! And I'm grateful that at least one person out there felt I was worth a deeper look and gave me the opportunity to share more of who I am. Read the article here:

No worries. I love to help and support others' dream to succeed. Same inspirations I give to my students - to pursue further postgrad studies. More surprises to come for my second batch of hopefulls. You know what, I thought family is quite a problem for the job, but now watching the Dad in Cyprus proved me wrong... the family especially the kids will be instrumental for young visitors. Good luck. You have to teach me how to surf! Promise?

Thanks for the kind words. But I wonder how drawn in you'd feel after 34,000 other videos :S I've got my fingers crossed none-the-less! :)

I love the new profile photo--that was such a memorable image from a memorable video!

love the idea about the Reef Rejects Job Board--surprised no one has started a Reef Rejects Reality Show! it's probably in development right now--anybody listening? anybody want to hire me? I live just north of La and south of Santa Barbara so we're practically neighbors!
