The US misses you so much, but I’m so proud of you (and also living vicariously a bit)

This is such a beautifully honest piece. I love how you’ve written about finding yourself between what’s expected and what’s possible. The way you describe Australia feels alive, not just as a place but as a state of growth. You’ve captured that sense of freedom and quiet courage that comes from choosing your own pace in life. A wonderful reflection on what it means to belong somewhere new. 🫶

Thank you for sharing your experiences here in Australia! As someone who's lived in Melbourne their whole life it's easy to take this city for granted so it was lovely to read your thoughts and get an outsider's perspective on living here.

Good luck with the upcoming year, subscribed and keen to see what's in store for you :)

Loved this! I just sent it to my partner who is American (living in Texas), and I’m Australian (living in Sydney). Such a great read to help her imagine a possible life in Australia one day 🦘

Thank you for sharing your travel journal 😊 It is a wonderfully detailed look at life down under 👍 My sister-in-law is Australian and I hear they are some of the friendliest people in the world 🦘 I have been dying to go there ever since I read Bill Bryson's book, "Notes from a Sunburned Country" (which I highly recommend 💯)
