I could tell you that I’m an Australian communications professional with extensive experience in the lifestyle, travel and food space however I’m sure you’re not interested in what I do for a living. Who I am and what lead me to this very moment, well, that’s the real story…
Two and a half years ago, the man I thought I was going to grow old with left me. No-one saw it coming, least of all me, so to say I was shattered would be an understatement. It was in this moment of loss, that I realised I had two options.
1. Sit there and feel sorry for myself
2. See this as an amazing opportunity to re-discover myself
While the first option would have been easier - cue tissues, chocolate and wine – anyone who knows me, would know I’d pick the latter.
Don’t get me wrong, there were a few tissues and chocolate dates in bed, however I truly believe that everything happens for a reason and hey, maybe this was the very trajectory I needed!?
I booked a holiday that week, Vegas no less, and well… the rest is history as they say.
10 countries and 917 sunsets later, I made the decision to leave my homeland of sunny Australia to try my luck at calling the UK home.
So, hello Sussex! Follow me as I share my learnings and adventures travelling the world. I can assure you, it’s going to be a fun ride!
