I am Melanie, dual citizen of England and New Zealand. I have been documenting my life on my blog (melaniemagowan.com) since arriving here in 2012, including health challenges through knee replacement and the recent loss of my left leg. I hope you enjoy learning about life as it is for me, and perhaps gain a little inspiration along the way
