Where were YOU one year ago......?
I wonder......yes it is! Exactly ONE amazing year ago a boy started on his mission to travel the world aiming to grow and focusing on his speaking abilities.
One year ago this boy was on a plane making his way to New Zealand, and he didn't even know where's Taiwan.
In one year this boy has been to these countries:
New Zealand
Australia
Scotland
England
Ireland
Netherlands
Belgium
South-Africa
Taiwan
This boy attended 7 McGuire Courses in those countries
This boy did the following jobs:
Pier-man assistant
Furniture mover
Household assistant (fancy name for cleaner)
Cook
Gardener
Animal Caretaker
Bouncer ( only for 5 hours.....)
Waiter
Exhibition Contractor
Barman
Master of Ceremonies
Teacher
In this time he attended 7 speaking club meetings, and appeared in 5 media articles.
His website receives a minimum average of 10 views per day, his YouTube video has been viewed over 615 times.
His website had been linked to numerous McGuire websites and other stuttering resource pages.
During this time, this boy has spoken into approximately 7000 new faces.....or as he calls them, contacts.
This boy is not blowing his own horn......but thought this would be a good summary of what he has been doing in the last year so that people visiting his website for the first time could see.
This boy is wondering why he is referring to himself in the third person ?????
All this has cost him the price of a 2004 model Ford Fiesta 1.6i Trend
This boy is not a fluent speaker, but a recovering stammerer who is growing in becoming an eloquent speaker......
This boy is feeling happy about what he has accomplished in one year :) .....and is wondering if anyone out there who would dare leave a comment about their perspective on their own year, the boy's year, or if they have any questions to the boy.............he said.

Eventhough we're both Afrikaans, English will express this so much better... You have achieved more in the past year than most of us will in an entire life time - hats off to you talking traveller - we're proud of you, and I'm sure you're an inspiration to all who follows this blog!
