Despite being born and raised in Australia, there was still so much of this amazing country I had never seen as a 30 year old. After moving from job to job after university, I was burnt out and ready to make a change – I wanted to dedicate more of my life to travelling and seeing other cultures and cities, rather than sit in a boring office.
I started out blogging my day trips around Sydney, which is where I have lived my entire life. I realized that I loved writing out stories of things I did and places I went; I decided to start doing that full time. Now that my travel blog gets hundreds of views each day, I am able to pursue travelling as a job and I couldn’t be happier. I hope to one day compile all of my stories and create a book, which will highlight my experiences as a single woman travelling the world!
