Josiah is going to Europe with the 13 strong (one of the biggest we've ever had) New Zealand National Youth Team in just over a week's time to compete in the Climbing World Youth Championship in Valence, France. He is very excited about going to Europe especially since he might get a chance to go outdoor climbing in Italy as part of the training that the team will be doing to prepare for the competition. In Imst, Austria, they will be attending a world cup competition which the older ones are allowed to compete in while the younger ones will watch the competition and train on the secondary wall.
Josiah has just started a blog in which he and Mum will be writing about the journey.
It will be rather different not having him at home for three weeks. I am probably going to miss him towards the end of his trip.
Josiah is the only competitor from Wellington in the team. He is training very hard for the competition.
Mum and Josiah are very busy doing things to prepare Josiah for going to Europe. This means that like before the Hangdog competition the house is in a bit of mayhem with school work not getting done because Mum is too busy to enforce it and I am too lazy to do it.
It is very interesting listening to all the stuff that Mum is reading to Josiah such as anti-doping and baggage restrictions.

About Me
I am a fourteen year old horse lover who also enjoys rock climbing, playing squash and going to the gym. I am back homeschooling after year of high school :)
I'm interested in basically everything at the moment. I love any kind of animal and feel strongly about animal rights and welfare, I still eat some meat but am trying to abstane from most of it. I enjoy most of my school work because I get to choose what I do so I only choose the things which look and sound fun.
I feel very strongly about the environment and all the terrible shocking things we are doing to it, again I need to work harder to perfect my viewpoint and would like to have the self motivation needed to be more environmentally friendly and to reduce my carbon footprint.
