UPDATED MAR 2020. Brace yourselves. The Valentines Day promotion has begun. All around me I see pretty pink hearts, cute catchphrases, and images of couples candidly showing their love for one another. It got me thinking of what it is like to celebrate occasions like these when you are apart from your loved one. Whether it is Valentine’s Day or…
UPDATED MAR 2020. I have some exciting news to share with you today. I wrote a health and fitness e-book! It’s crazy to write that sentence because I honestly never would’ve thought I’d write anything. Let alone a book. But I really want to help people and I believe that sharing stories is a powerful way to do that. So…
UPDATED FEB 2020. I remember when I first visited Hawaii and was really proud to have bought a disposable underwater camera for the trip. When I saw something cool in the water, I proudly went through the *wind, wind, wind, click* process to take a photo. When I got back to Australia, the first thing I did was take my…
UPDATED FEB 2020. It’s not travel-related, but I recently opened up about having Endometriosis here on the blog. If you saw the post on adventuring with Endometriosis, you know why I think it so important to not let Endometriosis stop me living a full life. Sure it slows me down a little, but I refuse to let it stop me…
UPDATED FEB 2020. Today I’m posting something a little different. I have Endometriosis. Now, I know sharing something like this is a stray from the usual posts but I felt a strong urge to share. Mostly for the simple reason that when I was going through the diagnosis and researching how to manage the illness, I found stories from others incredibly…
UPDATED MAR 2020. Confession. When I moved to Hawaii, I didn’t have a TV. By choice. Not because I am anti TV or anything, I just don’t really watch it so never got around to buying one. It really wasn’t a big deal in my head. But you would think I was living without oxygen from some of the comments…
UPDATED MAR 2020. We all have that dream list right? Things we always want to do but they end up on the ‘one-day’ list. I’ve been thinking a lot about living out dreams lately. Specifically, how some people seem to be living their dreams, ticking these items off their list with zeal. Whereas others simply have a list and are waiting…
With the holidays looming closer, I thought it was appropriate to post a guide on how to give the best gifts. I have been told many times that I am good at giving gifts. To be honest, I really love to give people gifts, especially if they are a surprise. If gift giving gives you anxiety, I hope this guide…
UPDATED FEB 2020. Solo adventure?!? I can hear you already. *Celine Dion’s ‘All by Myself’ begins playing in your head* Now, now, breathe in, breathe out and read on. It’s not as scary as you think – and not as dramatic as Celine makes it seem! It sounds weird to some people but I love to go on adventures by…
UPDATED FEB 2020. Working with passion, the world needs a little more of this, doesn’t it? It seems like so many of us are stuck in the mundane, the comfortable life or the toxic workplace and a lot of us have lost our spark along the way. If you were wondering what it’s like to make the change, here are…
