Hello, I’m Becca

This is my first piece for woowoo and to get the ball rolling I thought what better to write about than me… 😀

It’s maybe not a surprise that so many of the values and concepts of woowoo also ring true to me (after all the founder is my sibling!).

Woowoo is all about trying something new, doing things that get you excited, or just simply having someone there to give you that push to take the first step towards whatever your adventure may be. I’m one of those people that has a lot of ideas, but always needs that extra step of encouragement to actually execute them. What holds most people back are the doubts and the questions. But, that is what woowoo is also about - having an accountability partner or team. Someone to bounce ideas off of, or someone to tell you ‘just do it’... as Alex often does to me. 

So, in order to keep myself in check here are my woowoos I’m currently working on (feel free to call me out on them):

• A podcast: without wanting to give too much away (yet), this is an idea I’ve had for a long time. Speaking to my loved ones and sharing the lessons I have learnt from them.

Doubts: What if it doesn’t turn into anything? What if I run out of ideas? What if nobody listens other than my parents? I don’t know the first thing about making a podcast!
Conclusion: Who cares. To any of the above. The only way I am going to find out is by trying and doing. It’s not about wanting to produce a podcast that hits the charts. It’s about exploring this idea, trying and learning along the way.

• Selling hand-crafted items: this is less of a biggy for me, but I can be crafty (cow) when I want to be. I would love to receive commissions and sell my hand-made items. Feel free to follow my journey here.

And last but not least…

• Woowoo: it’s scary because when I think of my dream job, it is this. Telling people’s stories, connecting people, inspiring people to get out there and follow their dreams. Researching, shooting, editing, travelling, planning trips, planning events and workshops (spoiler to one of our big visions here). And when it’s scary, you know you’re doing something right.

What am I going to bring to woowoo?

Alex is a bit more on the sporty and extreme side than I am (talk about bike fanatic!), so whilst you will get your fair share of those stories from him, my goal with woowoo is to try to branch out to tell some more ‘ordinary’ stories. Whilst a lot of these may be based around travelling, hiking and exploring to begin with I’m also not afraid to dig into even more of the every day. We all have dreams of different shapes and sizes, and no story should be left behind.

So, a final word from me…
I’m about to move to Spain on a big, personal woowoo of my own and as nervous as I am, I am excited that I will have time to dedicate towards woowoo - doing my own woowoos, sharing other people’s woowoos, and helping make woowoo the success I know it can be, and that Alex and I envision it to be.

We’re glad to have you along for the ride 🚀
