I’m leaving Sydney…
Sydney is a city of mass potential. But this potential leaves people isolated. There’s a huge expectation in this city that your life will suddenly become like a movie, like the tiktoks all over social media. But in such a huge place, surrounded by so many people, it’s hard to find where you belong amongst…

Untitled;
You can’t run. I’ve always known you can’t. But for some reason, I thought I could. I convinced myself that I could escape the thoughts in my brain. Travelling the world for 4 months will do that though. You’re so busy seeing the world, meeting amazing people, and seeing amazing things that the demons that…

My first official month in Sydney: I haven’t quite decided what I make of the place.
There were a few emotionally testing times during the first month in Sydney. The difficulty started with agency shifts for nursing being incredibly sporadic. And although I was earning enough to live comfortably and save a little, the lack of structure that came with last-minute shifts wasn’t too hot. Things were a bit rough. I…

Sydney: Finding my Feet on the Other Side of the World.
Landing in Sydney came both a sense of sadness and excitement. This would be the first place in over 5 months that I would set up a base, hopefully find a place to live and start working as a nurse abroad (this had its own range of emotions connected to it). I was temporarily leaving behind…

Adeliade: From Festivals, to Hospital Beds, to Meeting the Greatest People in the World.
My arrival to Australia involved vomiting all over the airport floor and praying to the gods that there would be no one sat next to me on the plane so I could be sick in peace. Bali belly once again took me down, this time not quite as seriously but.. Still.. luckily the plane had…

Christmas in Bali!
I decided I would spend my Christmas period in Bali with friends made on my travels. So after another set of goodbyes and an incredibly long travel day (involving an 8 hour layover in Manila Airport eww), I finally arrived in rainy Bali. Me, Jay, Blake, and Ali all pitched in for a villa for…

Philippines Pt 4 – Manila – The Crime Captial of SE Asia!
My flight to Manila involved flying to Bangkok, having a 4 hour layover and then a 4 hour flight to Manila. Everything went off without a hitch, if I’m honest. With the new Harry and Meghan series keeping me entertained (a must see fyi). On arrival I needed to get a grab, after hearing some…

Philapines Pt 3- Port Barton. Another heartbreaking goodbye!
Port Barton is a cute town in Central Palawan. On arrival, I headed to the beach to watch the sunset and have some dinner. I met two locals, Rio and Eli, after eating, and we finished the night watching the basketball at the local court. The teams were the local police force and group of…

Phillapines Pt 2 – El Nido
My first night in El Nido involved falling asleep before dinner and sleeping for 16 hours. As I had 1 hour of sleep the night previous due to mine and Brian’s all-nighter antics, I let this one slide. My first day in El Nido was a very chill one, walking around the town and chilling…

Philippines Pt 1 – Coron – A place like home!
My journey to Coron was incredibly quick and painless. Landing at the very small airport and quickly hopping in a bus to my accommodation. A very cute, family run home stay, with two rooms of four beds. It’s run by joy and her partner and they live there with their two kiddies, who are genuinely…
