EDITOR’S NOTE<br />
The<br />
<strong>Edge</strong> <strong>Of</strong><br />
<strong>Excitement</strong><br />
Deep into <strong>Mar</strong>ch, any tentative<br />
steps you’ve made into the New<br />
Year be must now be full-on<br />
strides. This issue of <strong>Tropicana</strong><br />
is about forging forward with<br />
confidence and taking that leap<br />
– not into the unknown, but<br />
after having calculated the risks<br />
and weighing out the pros and<br />
cons – into something relatively<br />
unchartered.<br />
Eschewing the obvious travel<br />
destinations, how about escaping<br />
to a small isolated outcrop in the<br />
middle of the Atlantic surrounded<br />
by the ocean and some of the<br />
most pristine diving available?<br />
The island of St Helena is the very<br />
definition of far flung, the kind<br />
of place you’d go because you’ve<br />
already done it all, or because it<br />
promises something quite unlike<br />
anything you’ve done before.<br />
Even the celebration of Easter,<br />
resurrection and rebirth needn’t be celebrated the same with recipes for chocolate eggs<br />
that are, wait for it … vegan.<br />
Perhaps no other cover personalities epitomise the quality of forging their own path<br />
more than Joey Woo and Jeffrey Yang of Art <strong>Of</strong> Tree. Partners in life and business, their<br />
successful furniture business makes use of salvaged timber as opposed to wood logged<br />
from precious forests. This route was neither the easy or obvious one, but not only<br />
does it make environmental sense, it makes business sense. Their company produces<br />
dramatic conversation pieces for residential and commercial use that buyers are sure to<br />
love for a lifetime.<br />
We hope you enjoy this issue. If there’s one thing we hope you take away from it is<br />
a reminder that when you are teetering on the edge of excitement, it can be frightening<br />
and thrilling at the same time, but it will never be boring. So go ahead, take that leap.
