today you and i are sitting down and having a heart to heart about how it really feels to find yourself alone in an unfamiliar country on the other side of the world. we're getting real about the true emotions that come with moving abroad or buying a one way ticket, not just the highlight reel you see online.

my hope is that this episode provides comfort to anyone going through a similar experience to know that you aren't alone in how you're feeling, as well as share some tools that i found useful (and the number one piece of advice my mum gave me before i left!)

oh, and a chaotic story recounting the absolute PANIC and stress of almost losing my passport in dubai... oops.

i never wanted to live a conventional life, but i also never thought i would end up in my late twenties with no plan, no path and still figuring it out. before we get into the wild travel stories, one way tickets and manifesting actual vision board experiences, i feel like i need to catch you up on some of the contributing factors behind HOW i actually got here. because let me tell you, it hasn't been an easy ride.

episode one is me filling you in on the lore of my life and letting you peek into my past to understand why i make what can often be viewed as chaotic decisions, why i prioritise travel over stability at this point in my life and why it might look like a mess from the outside, but there may just be a deeper meaning to all of it.

think of this as a raw, real yap session between the two of us lying on the hotel bed after a long day sunbathing at the beach before we get ready to go out for dinner. that's the vibe i want to create with this show. or like sending you voice notes of the crazy stories i have to tell of adventures, mishaps and both fortunate and unfortunate events lol.
