Two years ago I hit publish on the Journey Era blog. Little did I know, the moment my finger clicked that button would change my life forever. I was living on Oahu, a tropical island in Hawaii. I was in the last semester of my journalism degree. Sitting in the back row of classes, I …

After an epic but hectic three weeks with my workshop and trip to tropical north Queensland on the media campaign, I needed a second to breathe. There isn’t a much better place for a digital nomad to do so than in Canggu Bali. In this, the 89th, edition of ‘The Weekly’, I’m going to take …
Every Sunday I sit down and reflect on the week that just passed, I prepare to collect my thoughts. I try and write something a bit different each week. Some weeks I share what I have been doing throughout the last seven days. However, some weeks I try and let you into my headspace a …
What a freaking whirlwind! As 10 content creators and bloggers, we headed to the Nusa Islands intent on exploring, adventuring and learning the trade of blogging. We returned as a team that will support each other into the rest of 2018 and beyond. We returned having shared knowledge with each other on topics from photography to media …

At the end of 2017, I opened up applications for my first ever workshop. 500 people applied and I chose the seven bloggers and content creators who I thought had an adventurous spirit and were committed to working hard to becoming a digital nomad.

Exhausted both physically and mentally, our squad labored down the hills during the final moments of the Mt Rinjani trek. We were glad to be back in civilization (of sorts) with a shower and I had a real pillow again rather than my muddy shoes. Rinjani was awesome but it definitely took it out of …
Tropical islands are everywhere. They often have an amazing atmosphere combining island vibes with tranquility. However, it’s not often you end up on an island that seems more like a fantasy, a natural theme park, and a land of pure magic. Lombok is a tropical island just off of Bali, accessible by plane or ferry. …
I boarded a flight from Bali at midnight, destined for the Aussie outback. I had labeled it the death flight. It was a duo of three-hour flights, which left me with only one and a half hours of sleep. Normally this wouldn’t be a big deal but I at 8 am when I arrived it …
At the start of the year, I made a tentative bucket list of places I wanted to visit. I was in no rush to reach these locations, they just captivated me enough to find a spot on my list of must-visit spots before I die. One of them was closer to home than the rest. …
This week I turned 26. However, it wasn’t my birthday celebrations or even the moment itself that I find myself drawn to write about this week. I looked back at the last 12 months and can’t beat away the feeling that it feels like five years since my last birthday celebrations on Bohol in the …
