Random follow #65 - #kiwinomad08

Everybody has a story.   Some stories are local and involve people accomplishing great things in their own backyard.  Other peoples stories involve them heading off to international places both attempting and achieving great things.  Today''s tweeter falls into the latter category.

@KiwiNomad08 is an explorer of places.  Not just the local country side but international places as well.  Being an explorer is an art.  It takes a combination of skill, persistence and a keen eye for the little details to pull it all together.  And no exploration is complete if no one knows you've done it.  Yes - you did complete the exploration so in a literal sense it did happen.  But there is some value, some mystery, some connection that occurs when others hear the stories, see the pictures and become both inspired and enthused to go out and engage in their own explorations.

Why do I like @KiwiNomad08 as a tweeter?  Because she has an amazing blog.  And she tweets in a conversational manner.  Some tweeters will give you one tweet in reply.  But Kiwi will carry on a twitter conversation with you for as long as you need or as long as the conversation stays interesting.

But being an explorer is just one aspect to Kiwi's life.  She is also a teacher of children.  Which is one of the most important functions or callings any person can have.  It takes a lot of resilience, patience and caring to be able to manage day in and day the learning needs of an ever changing and diverse range of children.  Parents know that no two children are alike - even from the same parents.  So just imagine what a teacher goes through trying to both teach as well as bring out the best in every child that is placed in their care.

I haven't been following @KiwiNomad08 for very long at all so there isn't too much more that I can say about her.  I can tell you that she went to France and Spain and a whole lot of exploring there.  And if you head over to her blog you can read up on some of the amazing adventures that she had while she was there.

My final and closing comment is this - she lives in the MANAWATU!!!   Yes - Kiwi is the first random kiwi tweeter who lives in the Ragitikei district (sort of)!  So there you go.  I really recommend checking out @KiwiNomad08 and even if you decide not to follow her as a tweeter then her blog is worth adding to your reading list.
