EDITORS NOTE The Spring Issue | WILDLIFE New Adventures + New Heights. What do we mean by this? We love pushing the envelope with exploration. We have exploration in our veins. This 2019 we will travel to many lands, but we are most excited about our Australia adventure. Take a ride with us and see what Australia has to offer. This month we feature Cairns. Indulge in our feature of #COFFEEBREAK and see where you can sip coffee next. What can we learn from our daily life? Much. So try to remember it, try to illustrate it and definitely verbalize it. This Spring we are slowing down, taking time to relax and work on our goals for 2019.

BERMUDA @soniavonwalterart
BERMUDA When we close our eyes, we see blue and we see white. We open them, and we see BERMUDA. The blue is for the sea and the white are for the roofs. It is a unique beauty like none other and when think of how we feel; we feel warmth.

Three Ways to Invest
1. DIY Style? Pick an online trading platform. For the person who likes to take matters in their own hands, you may want to consider Charles Schwab online or Acorns. Open an E-Trade account or invest your left over change for them to invest in high yield stocks for you. 2. Open an IRA When you open an IRA you have options of where to invest your money and how much you can earn over 1, 5 or 10 years. Roth IRA is money you already paid taxes on. Maximum investment is $5,500 per year into the Roth IRA. Traditional IRA is pre-tax money and you defer taxes until retirement. 3. CD Set up automatic transfers from your bank account to an investment or CD account (high yielding savings account). Take a percentage of your paycheck and do it automatically so you don’t have control.

Culinary Tour in Ho Chi Minh Vietnam
CAIRNS
Cairns. There is much to be enjoyed while exploring the Great Barrier Reef. Whether you take a self-drive, explore the rainforests or hit up Port Douglas Markets for shopping you won’t be disappointed. Speaking of Port Douglas Markets, you can kill 2 birds with 1 stone by shopping in open air while taking in the beautiful backdrop views of the Coral Sea and mountain ranges. When you choice to explore the Great Barrier Reef, you can do so by plane, boat or diving. Non-swimmer tours can enjoy it too with glass bottom boats.
Top 3 To Do in Cairns TOUR or DIVE GREAT BARRIER REEF: Best time to visit September to March for good water temperature. Best visibility is July to November. SKYRAIL RAINFOREST CABLEWAY: Departing every 15 minutes, this is the best way to glide above the rainforest. Book in advance! LIZARD ISLAND: A National Park covering over 1000 hectares and having its highest peak at the Cooks Look you will not be disappointed. Birds, diving, snorkeling, you name it. Plus stay at the exclusive private Lizard Island Resort for more pampering. Lizard island is not the only island there is also Heron Island , Orpheus Island and Haggerstone Island. SPRING 2019

What we are Reading
1. Art Issue by KeyAesthetics Duh of course we read our own publication. We are never so attached that we cannot learn something new with each page we read.
2. Cairns & The Great Barrier Reef Adventure 101 for newbies to Australia.
3. Draw Your Day Be inspired by your daily life. Keep a journal or a sketchbook of your sketches.
4. The Tattooist of Auschwitz An unforgettable real-life story that took us breathe away and had us on the edge of our seats. A “hopeful recreation of Lale Sokolov's experiences as the man who tattooed the arms of thousands of prisoners with what would become one of the most potent symbols of the Holocaust� KeyAestheticsMagazine.com
