Focusing on what is important and double, if not triple, downing on it to make sure no matter what, you’ve done what you said you would. More of the same this week, but with major breakthroughs. Like mentioned last week, these weekly are now taking a slight turn as my life in South Africa settles […]

Stop Calling It LUCK – Weekly 005
IF you’ve followed me for any length of time you know I absolutely hate the word luck. This week I’ve been what some people will call lucky. It’s just a by-product of the environment and I’m seriously excited for the future. Another week down in South Africa. Another week not stabbed, mugged or murdered, so […]
Have I Become An Alcoholic? – The Weekly 004
If South Africa has taught me anything it’s how to become an alcoholic in just 9 days. No seriously. I don’t think I’ve drunk this much alcohol in 9 years, let alone 9 days. Feeling a little more settled and into a little more of a routine here in South Africa, after all, I’ve been […]
Landing in South Africa – The Weekly 003
2 Backpacks and my entire life belongings inside them. This was an adventure into the unknown, from the cold and wet UK to the windy and warm, South Africa. This week has been a good one. Leaving a lot behind and this time last week I was feeling apprehensive about what lies ahead but […]
Leaving the UK – Weekly 002
This is a week I’ve been dreading and looking forward too in equal parts. The final week in the UK but unfortunately, the final week with my little doggo, Gem. The response and feedback from the first edition of “The Weekly” have been better than I could have imagined and I am so grateful for […]
The Weekly 001 – Happy 2020 and Future Plans
Something I want to do more of this year is write. So here’s my idea. At least once a week I’ll write a weekly update of what’s going on in Lou’s world. Introducing the new series… The Weekly. Firstly, and most obviously happy new year! This is technically a diary of my first week in […]
Part of the not so plan, plan…
Part of the not so plan, plan… …still with me? Firstly, WOW. The support, love and engagement has been overwhelming and firmly cementing that writing and starting Explore Stronger was a good idea. (Even if the negative people don’t believe in me, funny how those people didn’t believe in The FItness Academy 5 years ago…) […]
A little bit about me… Lou!
A little bit about me… …sadly, the top knot is no longer but my passion and love for adventure is still strong. Adventure – an unusual and exciting or daring experience. Hi, Hola, Bonjour. I’m Lou. 6 years ago at the ripe age of 19 I decided to qualify as a Personal Trainer and turn […]
Our first LOTR sightings… RIVENDELL!
Friday 18th January, 2019. Yesterday (Thursday) was a bit of a write off as we seemingly drove forever and moved forward our ferry plans a day for tomorrow (Friday). We managed to see the scenic springs that have incredibly clear water and beautiful surroundings. Other than that, we didn’t “do” much. Fast forward to Friday […]
Playful baby seals!
Wednesday 16th January, 2019. Today started a little slow with us having to stock up on food and some other bits including the services of the van. Once all done and shopped we headed on the road to pancake rocks and blow holes… …cheeky! Pancake rocks were formed from Limestone which were created by layers […]
