Diving into the Digital Nomad Lifestyle
As a digital nomad, I’ve been lucky to enjoy the freelance lifestyle for a little over two years. But, due to the pandemic, I haven’t been able to enjoy the “free” part of freelance as much as I would’ve liked. I adore travelling and exploring new places. I had not intended on living on the same tiny island of St. Barth for the past two years. Living here has brought me many positives that bouncing around from place to place didn't offer me, like spending quality time with my family and really getting to tune in and focus on myself, learning what is good for me. Additionally, it has also allowed me to fine-tune my workflow and figure out what it is that I truly want to do and create.

Winn the Cowboy
The white pickup, pulled over 100 yards away at the beginning of the long frontage road, had been sitting there for a few minutes. It could mean one of three things: the guy was thinking about picking me up, thinking about murdering me, or thinking about something unrelated to me--- me being the hitchhiker at the other end of the road.

Part 0.5 Adventure Ready
There wasn’t much time for anything after I retired to my sisters’ house. Two days later, I returned to Queensland. Life continued as usual up there, and there were plenty of times when I almost called the whole trip off. I felt so much at home at that job. The work itself was hot, sweaty, challenging, heavy and every now and then, you get a caustic kiss. But the blokes were just exceptional, which shows how much the people you work with can change the situation. Side note: This also includes a job where I had to change the stirring mechanism in a giant pool of poop! Imagine an Olympic swimming pool full of poop. Human poop. It gets stirred by these horizontal paddles that cross the pool. These paddles are plastic and scrap along the bottom of the pool. Ergo, they need to be replaced every year. So yes, I have literally had jobs that were full of shit…

Solo Travelling is more than a vacation!
I often hear people talking about their desire for going on a solo trip while sitting at coffee shops, casual gatherings, weddings or at university lounges.

A Pilgrimage to Meet Myself
I was out there and nobody knew who I was, nobody had any expectations of me or who I needed to be, which meant that for the first time in a long time, maybe the first time ever, I could choose to be and exist exactly how I wanted to be. I could be carefree, wild, fun. I could focus on myself, talk with whomever, walk wherever. This pilgrimage was my journey. The Camino de Santiago was the path towards meeting myself.

Far from being the perfect wanderlust life we see through Instagram photos, my experience traveling the world was filled with ups and downs.

The Stranger I'll Never Forget
A couple of years ago, I spent three months travelling around Costa Rica. I had wanted to visit the tiny Central American country for years. It called to me. The mangroves, the cloud forests, the beaches. I wanted to swim in extinct volcano craters. I wanted to watch capuchin monkeys swinging in the treetops above me whilst I sunbathed. I wanted an adventure.

Bucket List
I've been thinking recently about living my life and all the things I want to accomplish. Then again, sometimes I wonder if it is more practical to live in the present. Having a bucket list makes me live in the future and not be in the here and now. However, if it is really about living what's the harm? At first, I thought starting at bucket list would make me more stressed, seeing things that I want to accomplish and feeling like a failure. However, I have learned that I am missing something, and I am not 100% happy. So, here we go, in now particular order, my bucket list.
