Why I Left Sydney and WHAT’S NEXT in 2021?
At the start of 2020, I declared my plans to move out of my Bondi apartment and be nomadic for most of the year.
Then COVID-19 came and turned EVERYTHING upside-down for everyone.

Let me preface this post with a disclaimer that I AM NOT A BEAUTY BLOGGER.
I never planned to write about my microblading experience, but after a handful of frantic late-night Google searches, trying to understand if what I was seeing and experiencing was a normal part of the healing process and not quite finding a clear answer… I feel compelled to fill in the gaps for future freakouters.
Oh hey guys! Well geez, things have changed since my last personal update in late January.
It probably goes without saying that I’m not in the US right now as originally planned.
I can hardly believe that after 3 blissful years as a leaseholder in Bondi Beach, I’ve thrown in the towel and hit reset on my Australian life.
Yep that’s right – I’m officially back to being a nomad!
Never in a million billion years did I expect to be writing an article like this.
5 years ago, I didn’t even believe in yoga. Now, I’m entering a new decade as someone who regularly attends sound healings, goes to a psychic on occasion, and is on a waiting list to purchase a REALLY pretty handmade deck of tarot cards.
This isn’t a post I ever imagined I’d be publishing on my travel blog.
This isn’t something I ever thought I’d actually do in my life.
Yet here I am, reflecting on the healing session I had with a psychic medium back in May when I was in Melbourne.
Never in my wildest dreams did I think I’d live in a beautiful apartment just minutes from one of the world’s most beautiful beaches, but such is the life I seem to have manifested for myself.
OH MY GOSH I can’t believe I’m actually making some new year’s resolutions!
I’ve been very anti-that for basically ever, but for some reason I’m feeling super inspired and motivated at the start of 2018 to make some moves and get shit done.
Welp, this year-in-review post looks a bit different from the ones I’ve done the last couple years when I was a nomad.
That’s because 2017 was all about getting grounded and making a new home for myself in Sydney, rather than country hopping.
On December 12th, 2014, I arrived in Sydney with my life a freshly blank slate (read: big giant question mark). I’d just quit a job I enjoyed, moved out of an apartment that had been my home for 5 years, sold/stored 95% of my belongings, and booked a one-way ticket to Australia without a plan.
