It's been shown that setting and achieving goals will lead to being more fulfilled with your life. I've spent the last two weeks trying to determine what my goals are for 2019. I've been pretty slack in prior years with actually sticking to my goals. This year I thought I'd document them somewhere public to … Continue reading The Millennials Series: 2019 Goals
2018 has been by far the most challenging year yet. This year has been by far the one which has pushed me the furthest out my comfort zone. I competed in sanctioned powerlifting competitions, travelled to almost every state/territory in Australia at least once, and finally visited some parts of Europe that were on my bucket list.
Ultramusic Festival, one of the biggest music festivals in the world! I managed to find a tour through Busabout which included Ultra Europe, so of course, I wasn't going to miss out on experiencing this festival while I was on that side of the world. Now the one thing I didn't realise until I got there … Continue reading The Travel Diaries: The Europe Diaries Part 3 – UltraMusic Festival Europe with Busabout

When travelling, especially for leisure, it's important to pack some essentials for your trip. In my case, most of my essentials, outside of clothes, makeup and toiletries, are electronics. As I work remotely when I'm travelling, I cannot be disconnected from society for too long. So what are my travel essentials? iPhone X - I … Continue reading The Travel Diaries: Part 2 – The Trip Essentials
I leave in two weeks for Europe, and it's made me both excited and anxious. With two jam-packed weeks including attending a conference interstate, my next powerlifting competition, and speaking at an event over two days in Adelaide, being the super organised person that I am, I've already started trial packing. I've travelled overseas for … Continue reading The Travel Diaries: Part 1 – How to Pack for 6 Weeks in Europe
The majority of people pack too much for short work trips. In the last few years, I’ve learnt that in order to be able to hit the ground running when you arrive at your destination, especially if you’re going straight into meetings, you don’t want to have to firstly, wait to collect your baggage from … Continue reading The Travel Diaries: Travel Hacks – Packing for 1 to 5 Day Work Trips
