Hi 2020, it's nice to meet you! I have spent some time reflecting over the last couple of days, as we farewelled 2019, and said hello to 2020 and a new decade. Looking back over the last 12 months, I can see that it was a period of massive change, and with that in mind, … Continue reading The Millennials Series: 2020, A Year of Growth
With how hectic life has been, it's been a few months since I've had the motivation to sit down and write. Last week I stood up in front of a group of my colleagues and was completely vulnerable as I told them my story of living with mental illness. I was extremely nervous and was … Continue reading The Millennials Series: Being Vulnerable
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.
I'm not going to lie and say my first month in Perth has been easy, it's been far from it. I've had to adjust to living over 2,695km away from my puppy, family and friends. I've been incredibly homesick, and I've cried... a LOT. But despite that, I'm so grateful for my new colleagues and … Continue reading The Millennials Series: The First Month
So, I jumped. Head first into a new chapter of my life. My life is about to completely change and I'm excited to see what the future holds. I'm terrified to be leaving the majority of my friends and family, and my puppy in Adelaide, but... I'm moving to Perth! Yes, you read that right. … Continue reading The Millennials Series: So, I Jumped
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
Working remotely, I've done it three times now, four if you include this trip, twice in the USA (2014 & 2016), and once before in Europe (2015). Now don't get me wrong, working remotely can be great, but it can get lonely, so make sure you keep in touch with your team (if you have … Continue reading The Travel Diaries: Part 4 – Working Remotely
European Whirl, the longest tour I have done on my Europe trip. 18 days with 37 of the most amazing people I have had the privilege to meet, including our tour manager and driver. Over the 18 days, we visited England, passed through Belgium, got weird in Amsterdam, Berlin and Prague, did some “extreme” sports … Continue reading The Travel Diaries: The Europe Diaries Part 2 – Contiki European Whirl
Contiki is one of the best ways to meet new people and travel around when you are travelling solo. I've done 3 Contiki's: Southern Adventure, Croatia Island Escape Plus and European Whirl. On each of these trips, I've met so many amazing people, and experienced so many different cultures, cuisines and activities. So, how do … Continue reading The Travel Diaries: Part 3 – How To Make The Most of Contiki
