Reenie’s Scribbles: Leaving Footprints in the Sand

We love learning from our International Bloggers here on SITS, and Reenie is no exception.  Reenie shares her musings and photos on her blog, Reenie’s Scribbles.  Reenie proudly calls Australia home and invites us all to visit her wonderful country.  Reenie gave up on categorizing her blog; all she knows is that her blog exists because she likes to write.

You are from Australia.  What are some fun tidbits that those of us who have never been there would find interesting?
Oh, where do I start?! It is a beautiful country with lovely beaches, greens and sunlight- but to me the true beauty of Australia has always been her people.  It is a wonderful place with wonderful people all around- Aussies are a casual, fun, happy-go-lucky, barbeque-ing, beer-drinking nation. And I have come to appreciate them from their ‘g’day mate’s to their ‘fair dinkum’s to ‘no worries’ {some common phrases that are abundant here that others may find different from what they hear every day}.

I invite everyone to come and visit. Trust me, Australia deserves it and so do you :). However, while we’re at it- Australia is my ‘adopted’ country. I was born and brought up in a country in Asia- but as far as identifying myself with a place is concerned- it’s Australia- hands down!

How was your blog “born”?
I started blogging many years back with LiveJournal… just as a mean of documenting my life- however ‘insignificant’ it maybe. I have since moved from LiveJournal and started a brand new blog with blogger about a year back. My blog has evolved as I have. My blog is private though- other than a handful of people- no one who knows me personally- knows it exists.

Tell us about your 52 Photos Blogging Challenge.
It was a challenge started by me- the plan was to post a photo for the given topic once a week. The initiative is suspended for now though; but I plan to resume it back again soon.

What do you enjoy most about blogging?
Blogging is my outlet. I like talking about little things in my blog- things that are so little that they otherwise get lose. Years after, when I read old posts- I relive the happy moments; likewise I understand myself more too when I read the sad ones. At the risk of sounding like a psychopath- blogging sometimes gives me perspective in my (still continuing) journey of *finding myself*.

    There is something very personal, and sweet about this blog. I think it’s a combination of the writing and the overall look of it. Thank you for sharing.

    I have been to Australia. I loved Sydney, and could easily move there. I cant wait to go back and do a trip through the wine country!

    The Aussie life sounds a little familiar. Distance doesn’t seem to factor in when you’re talking about enjoying life. I love the fact that you blog incognito. It obviously makes for amazing content. And your footprint in the sand is far reaching.. Keri
