Two years ago, I didn’t want to travel. I couldn’t see the point. 👇
🏡 I’d convinced myself that life was meant to be lived in one place, in the comfort of familiarity.
But in reality, I was just scared to break out of my routine and see what else was out there and how small my life might feel when I compared it to the vastness of the world.
Life has a way of surprising you when you stop resisting it.
Somewhere along the way, something shifted.
🌍 I began to look beyond social media. I stopped consuming life secondhand and realised: I didn’t want to watch it anymore, I wanted to live it.
And when I started living it, I realised just how much beauty there is that we never stop to notice.
⛰️ The view from the top of a mountain after a sweaty climb.
🏞️ The sound of a river carving its path through the earth.
🍓 The hum of a local market, full of fresh, vibrant produce that tastes like nothing you’ll find on a supermarket shelf.
These aren’t things you can truly experience through a screen.
I’m endlessly grateful that I found a way to build something of my own, something that aligns with my passions and gives me the freedom to see the world.
I started by working on my business outside of my 9-5 job, during late nights and weekends. I posted consistently, even when no one was watching. And slowly, it grew.
Now, I wake up excited to create, explore, connect with new people, and to eat food that nourishes my body and fuels my adventures.
Life doesn’t wait for you to be ready. It’s happening right now.
And if you’re still watching it all through a screen, let this be the push you need to start living it.
🌞 The sunsets are more vivid in person.
⛰️ The mountains are steeper.
🥩 The food is richer.
🧜♂️ The people will show you how much more there is to life than you ever realised.
I’m not done yet, not even close.
This is just the beginning. 🌍
