When I met Ella in November of 2020, it was clear pretty instantaneously that she was someone special. I fell hard and fast and also incredibly deeply for Ella, and by the end of our first month together, I knew that she was my forever person. It sounds fast (because it is) but I just knew. So […]

Whoops, it’s been a minute, here’s where I’ve been

A bucket list worthy diving trip to Raja Ampat

Part of me thought maybe I could just casually start posting again and not mention my SECOND hiatus since covid, but I figured that was the easy way out. Realistically, I don’t even really know why I stopped writing last year. Life was busy for sure, but it was more that when I jumped back […]

A Birthday Weekend Getaway to Kangaroo Island

Kangaroo-Island-South-Australia-Travel-Blog

This past May I celebrated my 28th birthday. Pre-Covid I would have celebrated by buggering off to Asia, but as this was no longer an option, I decided to look closer to my new Adelaide home when searching for a little long weekend getaway. Luckily, I didn’t have to look too long! After a little […]

How to spend one incredible week backpacking around Myanmar

In early 2019 I found myself fresh out of a break-up and in need of some epic adventures to help me rebuild a bit of self-confidence. That failed relationship had been an emotionally abusive one and left me feeling quite negatively about myself – especially regarding my appearance. So, when my number one hype man […]
