I cannot believe it is already 2015! I am certainly looking forward to what this year has to bring. And while I am anything but a winter person (far from it really), there are a few details that come along with this cold, harsh season that I actually like.

Two strangers are dropped in a deserted region or island, completely naked, and have to find their way to a specific location in a certain amount a days. This is clearly not my cup of tea, but it sure is entertaining to watch (although I do confess it gives me a bit of anxiety)! I'm pretty sure I googled her (which I always do while watching tv) after she told the camera she was a surfer and adventurer. I was directed to her website and later..
