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 […]

We finally saw the breathtaking Mount Cook!
Saturday 12th January, 2019. The morning started late with a lie in and some breakfast in Haast. I had an awful night sleep with what felt like the flu but was most likely heatstroke from the pervious day. We got on the road and headed towards Jackson bay. A 100km round trip there and back […]
