From living at home, working 40 hour weeks waitressing feeling like my days were stuck on repeat, to riding round on mopeds, coming face to face with some incredible wildlife and never knowing what I was going to be doing the next day. I took my first backpacking trip in October 2022 and travelled across Thailand, Bali and Australia where I experienced the best 4 months of my life.

Whilst I was away, I felt really inspired to find a job where I could continue to travel and soak up this lifestyle full-time since I graduated college not knowing what my next move would be. However when I returned home, I suffered a massive culture shock and soon enough got sucked back into working in hospitality to fund a few trips here and there.

I am currently travelling New Zealand and I know I am not finished travelling yet. With so much left to tick off of my bucket list, I hope this blog inspires you to do the same.
