Nominated by Home and Away

I would like to nominate Dos Botellas, a long time TBer and world traveler. Kiyoko is a long, long distance runner, having just completed the ~90 km from Santiago to Finisterre in one day. She has run many long distance events all over the world...most twice the distance of marathons...for the last six years. An amazing woman! Great writing style and photos.

I'm so very excited for the award! Thank you for the recognition and the opportunity!! I've started blogging mainly to give my mother a peace of mind, especially on my solo travels 😊 It's become a great memory log for me and my loved ones. V and I will take our run-cation further this holiday season. We'll cover 160 miles over 4days along the historic road in Japan. Early next year, I'm looking forward to adding New Zealand to my travel map! We're set to do a 100km race in lush greenery! Reply to this

Wow - looking forward to seeing the photos of Japan - that's my second home!

That 100km race early next year - you wouldn't be talking about the Oxfam Trailwalker by chance.....?

By the way, omedetou on winning Blogger of the Week! Reply to this

I've done three OTWNZs - but I wasn't in one of the crazy teams that run it though! Now I just go as a photographer.
If you pass through Auckland make sure you get in touch ^-^ Reply to this
