Day trip to Kiama, NSW

I recently took a trip to Kiama for the first time which is a coastal town which is just over 2 hours drive south of Sydney. You can, of course, drive the more scenic route stopping at the Sea Cliff Bridge, Stanwell Park, rainforest walks and the coastal drive.

It is known for the Kiama Blowhole and Little Blowhole.  Heading north, the Kiama Coast Walk trail links the blowholes to the columns of Cathedral Rocks, with whale-watching spots along the way. The beaches have calm water for swimming.
It’s such a relaxing place to stay and great to get out of Sydney for a change of pace.

So if you would like a day trip I’m available for bookings to show you this beautiful scenery.

Benefits of a Hug

The benefits of a hug are more than just a friendly greeting, people hug to express their feelings from affection and joy and sadness.
We can also call hugs the “love hormone” oxytocin but it also heals sickness, loneliness, depression, anxiety and stress.

The feeling of touch and a deep hug has these benefits:

  • A nurturing touch of a hug builds trust and a sense of safety;
  • Boost oxytocin levels to heal feelings of loneliness, isolation and anger.
  • Having a long hug increases oxytocin levels which gives you a feeling of happiness.  It also can lead to intimacy between one another;
  • A hug can strengthen the immune system  keeping us healthy. Plus it relaxes our muscles and can soothe our aches and pains.

So if you feel the need for a hug, I would be happy to hug you back as I do like a hug myself. Hugs are all part of my dates.
