Welcome to "Why not get going?", my blog. Let me introduce myself. I'm Caroline and I am a student at TAFE Southbank in Brisbane, and am enrolled in the Diploma of Travel and Tourism. Blogging is part of the assessment, so here goes....

It is week 5 of the course and I'm feeling a little behind because I missed classes in weeks 2 and 3. But my excuse is good.... I was travelling, so all good, it was relevant to my course!

This week, I have been catching up and I've done 2 itineraries, some research to do with tourism trends and factors affecting business, reading up on what is a skills matrix and learning how to start a blog! Finding a name for the blog that wasn't already taken has been the hardest bit so far. Why, "Why not get going?", you ask?? Everyone wants to travel somewhere and "Why not get going?" is going to help you get out there, and to see, feel and understand this amazing world, with all its diversity and wonders. How's that for a purpose?
