Good morning from Sydney❣ As you know parts of m

Good morning from Sydney❣ As you know parts of my country Australia was on fire and it humbles me seeing the generosity of the world! But the point it boils down to is climate change and what we can do. Truth is all of us can do our bits to help.⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
From my side, ⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
1. I will be flying less. I can't completely stop travelling because that's what i live for and it's my lifestyle that provides valuable lessons. Plus, I've families in other parts of the world so flights are unavoidable but I can definitely plan my trips better. Limit to what is absolutely necessary.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣
⁣
2. Offsetting my carbon prints by always taking economy as the flight's carbon emissions are shared among more passengers whereas business class can result in three times more carbon emissions than economy and first class nine times! And like last year continue planting trees where possible.⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
3. 90% less use of plastic. You'll see me using more sustainably sourced and harvested eco friendly products.⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
4. Cutting down on meat consumption and⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
5. Spreading more awareness around it.⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
My friends, if you were to takeaway only 1 thing from this post, please honestly ask yourself, ⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
Can I reduce my plastic consumption?⁣⁣⁣⁣
Can I cutout animal products?⁣⁣⁣⁣
Can I reduce buying fast fashion?⁣⁣⁣⁣
Can I ride to work instead of driving?⁣⁣⁣⁣
Can I speak up more and spread more awareness?⁣⁣⁣⁣
Can I fly less?⁣⁣⁣⁣
Can I eat less meat?⁣⁣⁣⁣
Can I buy more sustainable products?⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
PS: No comparing who did what or better, and no judging, no pointing fingers, just helping eachother, doing our bits and supporting one another who are trying. ⁣❣ ⁣⁣⁣

Having solo travelled to 46 countries so far, one

Having solo travelled to 46 countries so far, one of the most faq is what's my favourite country. ⁣
⁣
Honestly I believe every country is beautiful in its own way and if you take the time to explore further than just the capital city, am positive you'll be surprised how unique each place is! ⁣
⁣
Having said that though, I do have soft spot for countries full of giant mountains and stunning lakes (that love comes from my background I guess) followed by major coastal city vibes like Sydney, Australia. I like the fact that I can step out the door and have everything I need in the walking distance. I thrive in the energy of this beautiful busy city because I know once I step inside my home it's a sanctuary! 🙌🏻 ⁣

Swipe to see the short and legal secret entrance to the seacliff bridge lookout! And where to find that little bushy little entrance? Answer is up on the blog.

When I first moved to Sydney I was a student, work

When I first moved to Sydney I was a student, working 3 jobs to pay my collage tuition fees and frequently visiting libraries to finish my assignments. ⁣
⁣
I signed up as a member of 3 libraries around my 3 jobs then 1 near my home and as I changed jobs or moved, I would change my goto libraries too. I think I was member of about 10 libraries in Sydney at one point! ⁣😄
⁣
I'd to find quiet space to finish my assignments right but I also started reading novels at the libraries and just enjoyed getting lost in the stories. I wouldn't know how many hours had gone by before the librarian would announce they're closing & it's time to go home. I would then borrow the books & take home to finish reading them. Then return them and repeat it all over again.⁣
⁣
Now a decade later, I'm proud to say I still love it! I love spending time at the timeless libraries and reading interesting books. The only difference is now I buy more books than borrowing them 🙂 ⁣
⁣
As a solo female traveler, when I'm on the road I don't get to visit libraries that much but when i do, it is this beautiful 🤩 Glad I had an extra day in Bucharest, Romania and this beautiful library was just 5 mins walk away from where I was staying. I spent an entire morning reading Mark Manson second book! Was a good morning👍🏻⁣

1-1-2020 | 5 years ago in 2015, I left for my first solo travels. (But technically Sydney was my first solo travels from Nepal in 2006 long story, read "about me" in the blog for more) Anyway, that trip in 2015 was meant to be 3 months only but it went on from 3 to 6 to 9 months to 1-2-3-4-5 years now!! But i still remember my first solo trip overseas, helped me put things into perspective and allowed me to realise that there are far bigger things than my worries. I don't care if I don't have 1000 shoes or fancy bags anymore. I had all that and more at one stage of my life and it didn't give me peace or inner happiness! I left my cozy apartment, gave away my cool furnitures, sold my designer shoes, bags and quit my job. All to travel the world my own way and purse my dream of becoming a travel blogger. Do I regret any of it? Answer is None of it.
Traveling alone was the scariest thing but as time went on, it has become the most liberating, and life changing experience. It allows you to experience different lifestyles first hand, teaches you patience, letting go, and you learn to adapt and find out what you could do better. Traveling to places like Southeast Asia and other impoverished areas humbles you, broadens your perspective in so many ways and creates the sense of gratefulness for the modern day comforts that we are able to enjoy. ⁣ ⁣
These rich life experiences encouraged me to keep travelling. I was hooked! And since then, it has become a priority in my life. It was a tough decision to leave a life of comfort and security but with that I was able to travel 46 countries, lived in 4 and have ticked off some awesome adventures!
Now one of my goals in life is to travel all the 195 countries in the world and also to show YOU how you can travel the world easily, safely and adventurously - on your own! ⁣So follow along for the ride, it's going to be mindblowing! ⁣
Do you have travel related goals Or country you want to visit next?⁣
