It’s Friday and I spent the day at the beach. I almost didn’t go. I almost listen to the little voice in my head that was reminding me of all the things I should be doing instead – it’s a work day after all and fun is for weekends…

Sometimes I imagine what it would be like to live in a different kind of world. A world that’s better for all of us, every single one of us.

Being true to yourself and living life your way is hard - especially when it means being different. Being back in the city after living and traveling in a van for 5 months made me realise just how easily you pulled back into ‘normal’ and lose sight of who you are.

We all find ourselves in situations sometimes where something in our life just doesn’t really fit anymore and we want change, we want something new. But how is that change or new going to find you if you just hold on to the old? You need to make space in your life for new things to find you.

After over four months of living the Vanlife, it was time to make some big decisions about the future.
As it turns out, living up to my new 'Be fearless. But don't be stupid' Mantra is easier said then done. But luckly a chance encounter helped me figure out the right next steps for me.

One of my favourite parts of the Vanlife is that I get to discover new places and experiences all the time. I’ve come to realise how powerful, humbling and inspiring that is.
That's why I’m going to challenge you to go on a little 'Something New' Adventure yourself...

I'm 33, single and happy! I'm a solo-traveller amongst couples. I'm 'Just Me!' And I'm starting to realize just how rare that is.
Have you ever wondered why it is that most people seem to find their 'Life Partner' in their late 20s or early 30s? It can't be a coincident that the majority of people find The One at that time in their life. I think there is more to it. And there's a reason why some of us don't follow suit.

That’s a question I’ve been thinking a lot about lately. I’m not really sure why. Maybe it’s because my current lifestyle means I don’t see my friends as much as I used to anymore. Or maybe it’s just because I’ve got more time to think about random questions like this now…

Have you ever really listened to your mood? Have you ever really paid attention to what makes you feel happy, excited and energised and what makes you feel sad, lethargic and lonely?
I don’t think I ever really did. Until I started the vanlife and all the sudden there is no escaping it.

I’m looking for people who did NOT follow the traditional ‘got married, had a bunch of kids and worked 9-5’ kind of path in life and would be willing to share their story with me.

Have you met many interesting people yet? That’s a question I hear a lot. I guess it makes sense for people to assume that, while traveling around New Zealand on my own, I would meet some cool people.
But I haven’t really, yet. And, truth is, it’s probably not because there are no cool people to meet, but because I choose not to engage with them.

I’ve set myself a new reading challenge. Instead of focusing on reading as many books as possible, I now focus on capturing as many insights as possible from each book. That means, reading slower and taking notes while I’m reading.
And then I thought, if I’m already taking notes, I might as well share them with you :) So I’m starting a new series of blog posts called “What I'm Reading”.

This is the first post is my new series 'What I'm Reading' where I share key insights and interesting facts from books I'm reading. More about What I'm Reading here.
The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck was recommended to me by a really good friend. She spoke about it so passionately that it jumped right to the top of my reading list – and I’m glad it did.

The other day I read a friend’s Facebook post that really touched me. Firstly, because it was beautiful – in a dark but also hopeful kind of way. And secondly, because it reminded me of an incredible valuable lesson I’ve learn in recent years

What do skills and chicken have in common? The third letter in both words is an i!
Just kidding :) They might have something else in common. Let me explain.
