A Three-Month Aussie Adventure: Living, Working & Reflecting Down Under

At the start of this year, I packed my bags (and my laptop!) and headed off on a three-month adventure to Australia — not just for a holiday, but to live, work, and spend precious time with family.

This wasn’t just a break from routine. It was an intentional pause. A chance to slow down, reconnect, and reflect — both personally and professionally.

Why Australia? Australia has always had a special place in my heart. The landscapes, the lifestyle, the people — it’s a place that feeds the soul. So when the opportunity came up to spend time there with family, I didn’t hesitate. I knew it was exactly what I needed.

Living & Working Abroad One of the beauties of running my own travel business with Travel Counsellors is the flexibility to work from anywhere — and that freedom meant I could continue to support my clients while soaking up the Aussie sunshine.

From booking dream getaways at my kitchen table in Sydney to taking calls in between ocean swims and weekend BBQs — it was the ultimate blend of work and wanderlust. And honestly, it reminded me why I do what I do. Travel is about connection — not just to places, but to people and purpose.

A Time to Reflect Stepping away from the daily grind gave me the space to reflect on what I want my business to look like going forward. It reminded me of the importance of balance, of doing work that brings joy, and of making time for what truly matters — family, freedom, and creating unforgettable memories.

Gratitude & Growth I came back refreshed, re-energised, and full of new ideas for how to grow my business and continue offering the personal, thoughtful service my clients know me for. I’m incredibly grateful for the trust my clients place in me — and being able to support them from the other side of the world just reinforced how personal, flexible, and dependable this kind of service can be.

Would I Do It Again? In a heartbeat. And if it’s taught me anything, it’s that travel isn’t just about the destination — it’s about the mindset. Sometimes, the best thing you can do is change your surroundings and give yourself space to dream a little bigger.

So here’s to big adventures, brave decisions, and building a life that blends work and travel in the best possible way.
