January 2012 saw the start of a new adventure, one that has seen me settle in an amazing outpost in the middle of the Pacific Ocean in a country called "Kiribati". A vast (and little) known country made up of 33 atolls with a population of about 100,000 people know as the I-Kiribati.
South Tarawa is the main atoll and where I have settled for this year as a volunteer with Australian Volunteer International (AVI). It is home to more than 40,000 people on a very thin and fragile piece of land measuring 25 miles x 60/400 meters which makes it the most densely populated bit of land in the world.
This is a slow start to this idea of sharing my observations, but a start non the less. It's Easter, an ideal time for new beginnings and getting this story up to real time, so welcome to my journey which will no doubt include laughter, tears, what the F... moments, and likely to pose more questions than answers as this very present life is anything but black and white.
