A young Australian traveler, exploring the world with my love. Currently travelling through Europe.
I have always grown near the ocean in different houses, the Beach Hut holding my fondest memories. As an infant I was bathed on the kitchen table in a blue bucket overlooking the sand and waves. We had formal dress up nights where we scoured Op shops to find the most humorous 'formal attires' and cooked fancy roasts in the gas oven. We would fill our tummies with warmth on the front patio watching the sun set and the moon rise. We collected shells and turned them into wind chimes, bracelets, necklaces using fishing line, to then sell them at the local markets with my dad. We collected fire wood and built bonfires, roasting marshmallows, my sister would make the damper, she was better than all of us. By nightfall everyone would be chanting goodnights to each other from their warm beds, laying beneath their nets as the generator was turned off by Grandad with his torch. We would fall to sleep to the smell of a settling fire, the lumiscence of the moon,and the faint smell of the salt off the waves crashing along the beach.
Always living amongst nature I grew as an explorer. I am now off travelling again with my love Aaron Ashley, a young writer/artist. We have started off in Europe and hope to soon own a van so we can travel and create together passionately. I will always live to explore, photograph, film an write.
