I know one thing for sure.
☁️
I said I wanted to travel the world so I went
I said I wanted to go on adventures so I did
I said I wanted to live by the ocean so I moved
I said I was scared and overwhelmed but I’d figure it out. I’d build a life in a new place because I wanted to. I’d move to the other side of the world and treat it like it’s easy.

And that’s because I know one thing for sure: I’m going to make a very beautiful life for myself, no matter what it takes.

Sorry I’ve been MIA, I’ve been building a life (again)!!🧡🍍🏝️🪼🐊

Join me as I figure it out, mess up, & find my way on my next adventure🇦🇺🐨🦘
