About me...
Hi I'm Cath βΊ
Myself, my partner Dan and our french bulldog Nala packed up our lives and hit the road to do the lap of Aus setting off in 2023 from the Sunshine Coast, QLD, Australia π
It's been a dream of ours for well over a decade and after never being happy in our long-term jobs + losing loved ones in the years prior we decided to really live like tomorrow isn't guaranteed π₯
To be able to sustain our travels indefinitely we have looked outside the box, gone against the grain of society and diversified our income through multiple channels - this online income is just one of our avenues π©βπ»
We decided to share our journey for our family & friends and to also be able to shine a light on a different way of living for those that feel trapped in the darkness of the 'traditional way' = work - weekend - chores - work cycle! π£
A little about me personally - I'm in my 40s, child-free {not by choice} and basically a quiet, introverted soul that felt a little dead living the 9 to 5 type of existence π
I love nature - especially the beach & country life. As a kid / teenager I was obsessed with horses then surfing π & have always been more creative & spiritual than goal or success driven π€·ββοΈ
Over the years I have delved into much self-development and absolutely LOVE mindset & energetics - I personally think it's the path to the biggest changes available! My fav type is law of attraction & manifestation - especially Abraham Hicks - I know without a doubt that I wouldn't be where I'm at without it, & I'm still always learning! π
I was working part-time (in the same job for over 17 years) + doing bookwork - I never liked it, I felt drained just being there and it felt like my spirit was crushed a little more each day doing the same old thing week in, week out π¬
I've always craved freedom & believe life is meant to be more than work & the hamster wheel life - that there has to be more than just THAT π€― that we don't just exist to work our whole lives for a few years of retirement - if we even get there!
I was always so jealous of people that were able to work remotely, or have an income that provided them flexibility and especially green with envy at those who could take their time to travel Australia care-free without rushing! I WANTED THAT!!! π₯Ί
It got to the point that I just couldn't stand the same old living anymore, it was affecting my health in all ways and after losing loved ones I really questioned why I kept waiting... And what would I want to have done when my time was up? π
Dark questions yet it was a pivotal point of realising my fears were what was keeping me living a numb and zombie like existence - I made the choice to F' it all and take steps to do what I imagined would make me happy π£
Even if I failed, I could be proud I'd tried (which is a huge change for me) and that led me to now - to how I got to this point, how I made huge changes & really going all in on creating a life I love living β¨
Looking outside the box, facing fears, doing mindset & energetics + creating a variety of ways to earn has been the path for me to really start living again and myself, Dan & our beautiful Nala girl are loving being able to explore endlessly π₯
For me it sure beats counting down the hours until a shift finished, dreading Monday's and trying to just cope with a life (& job) that drained my every ounce of energy! If you resonate with this, please know there is a way out - no matter how dark the tunnel may look - I felt at rock bottom for a long time but baby steps have gotten me to this point π€
It obviously hasn't all been rainbows and sunshine yet it has been worth it - my life is completely different now and I feel freer than I ever remember! π
