Do you have your own website, blog, forum or social network?

http://www.heymissk.com

what is your website/blog/forum/social network for?

Sharing my adventures in travel and life and raising awareness of the positive contributions people are making in communities around the world - proof that one person can indeed make difference.

What's this website for?

A channel dedicated to raising awareness of the positive contributions people are making in communities around the globe with the hope that these stories inspire a change of attitudes, aspirations and actions in the people that see them.

Anything else? What's your story? Give us a bit of background about yourself (if you like).

A passion for travel has taken me around the world where I've met many interesting, innovative and inspiring people.

My goal now is to make videos showcasing these people and their stories. If I can make a living from this... all the better.

There's a wonderful serendipity that the day the first videos are put up by someone other than me, the first ones not just ripped off youtube but actually by the person who produced them, I'm actually in SF, where you are based. Really looking forward to meeting you next Tuesday. Any thoughts you have, ideas etc for how this site can grow and be better, any ways you think you might wish to be more involved or have something to offer or gain from ivili, ponder these and store them up, and we'll discuss over lunch. And thank you, you've made my day.

UK too reliant on imported food? 3 Replies

51% of British food is imported. This means our food supply is not secure (although of course Britain's food supply is nowhere near as vulnerable as that of developing countries). There are also envi…
