I almost missed it. I read the schedule wrong. I was looking at Monday’s classes instead of Sunday's. I was late to leave due to a complete emotional meltdown, and to cap it off, I forgot my tickets that I needed in order to get into the class. I nearly stuck with the sentiment of, … Continue reading Namaste
I finally watched it. The documentary, Minimalism, that is. A lot of it I’ve come familiar with because of the whole having quit my job, sold my possessions and moved to a 'foreign' country bit, but I have to say…even with the items I have here, and in thinking about the few boxes I’ve left … Continue reading Minimizing | But in a Good Way
I could feel it as it was happening. I was slipping. Slipping through the cracks, slipping like the sand through my fingers. I was, with ill-intention, trying to convince myself that this was simply the reality of who I am. Throwing caution to wind, ignoring any consequence and living so much in the moment that … Continue reading Enough.
Let's be clear: I've taken one surf lesson (for basically one hour) in my entire life, so when I say things like "yah, I surf now," ignore me, haha. THAT SAID, the one and some hour(s) I was out there proved challenging yet incredible, and there was a lot that resonated with me while I … Continue reading Surf + Turf | Lessons Learned
I rarely travel to the same place twice. This is likely in part because I'm often heading to places that are far enough away that a trip back is challenging to make happen on a recurring basis, but more so, I generally operate with the feeling that there are so many stunning places to visit … Continue reading Bali the Beautiful
In Toronto, a two or three-hour drive from the city would bring reprieve by way of a smaller-town setting with local shops, wine-country or perhaps even a bit of countryside, however in WA you get desert. And honestly - it's super cool. For my birthday this year I took myself on a two-day trip to … Continue reading Never Far | Lancelin, Cervantes + Jurien Bay
Well guys, I've made it. Another trip around the sun. Another set of amazing experiences to look back on, and an added roster of incredible people for whom I am so lucky to have had enter, and find their place in my life. I'm another year older, and another year wiser. This past year I … Continue reading Another Trip Around the Sun
What am I afraid of? I ask this to myself, and I can come up with likely infinite answers. There’s the superficial layer: heights, spiders, snakes, the sun (yeah, good thing I’m out here going hiking in Australia eh? Ha.). I could take it one level deeper: I’m afraid of rejection, the unknown, losing control. … Continue reading Fight or Flight…[I’ve booked a Flight]
I have an actual confession to make. There has been a massive, pervasive part of this journey so far that I have actively omitted from sharing. I have been posting, projecting and pretending that for the most part, everything is great. It’s beautiful, it’s warm, it’s sunny and “amazing.” And though all of those things … Continue reading Confessions of a Solo Traveller | Part 3
Let's first start with an acknowledgement that I have nowhere near scratched the surface on all there is to do here, but these are the experiences I've loved so far that I had to share (in no particular order, except for Fremantle - it's my fave): Fremantle | old historic buildings, cappuccino strip, craft brewers, … Continue reading Perth | Don’t Miss List
