Welcome to my blog. I’m so glad you are here!
My name is Pieter van der Kwaak, but you can call me O.P., which stands for ‘Old Pete,’ You can find out more about me, and why I started this project, on the About Us page of our website.
“Walking and talking” alongside the beautiful water of Moreton Bay in Queensland has been good for me, both physically and mentally, especially in the last few years. Writing about it has added another dimension to my emotional and mental wellness.
There is something very healing about putting your thoughts on the page. It has taken me to a deeper level of thinking and reflection and made me feel more content within myself. And now I want to extend an invitation to you to come and join me as we “walk and talk” together.
