I was scrolling down my Tumblr feed and stumbled across this quote: “Don’t live the same year 75 times and call it a life.” – Robin Sharma And it really resonated with me.

In the past couple of weeks, saying I’m a little bit stressed out would definitely be an understatement. I’ve been rushing around like a headless chicken trying to buy and prepare the things I’ll need to take to university, organise my blog and my YouTube channel, socialise and catch up with friends, do my university prep … Continue reading

Today I’ll be taking you back to my time in Australia over Dec-Feb… After our Fraser Island Tour and homeless night in Hervey Bay, Alice and I had the Whitsundays next up on our backpacker itinerary. We had gone almost seven weeks without using any travel agency or company to help book our activities (there are pros … Continue reading
If we were having coffee, I would tell you that I’ve been home from seven months of adventures for two weeks now. It’s kinda nice being home but it’s strange getting re-accustomed to everything. There’s also a whole load of things I’ve been putting off (unpacking entirely for one!) But it’s also kinda scary just how … Continue reading
