Electronic Walkabout

Life has a habit of challenging us on a daily basis. These are not new challenges but often new to the people who face them. Why do we think we have to face these challenges alone? Oftentimes we set off on a journey to find those answers, that certain “je ne sais quoi” to move forward, in essence a walkabout. This is what E-Walkabout is all about. We share our journeys with you to lighten yours, with a little humour along the way.
