Turkey 🇹🇷 🦃 the 2nd country I ever visited after India… because ya know, I’m kinda addicted to “culture shock”

I captured these flicks over 3 weeks, travelling all over the countryside by bus. Turkey is HUGEEEE, but worth the long bus rides because each place is magical.

And yes, I’m not currently in Europe like the rest of ya 🙃

‘Lost in the ricefields’ 🌾 Part 2

The art of surrendering in pursuit of your true path is scary because there is no instruction manual and it requires a lot of blind faith.

When you feel stuck, sometimes getting ‘unstuck’ is as simple as flowing where the wind is blowing you at the time.

Take me for example… in the past 3 years alone, I went from a career in neuroscience in Melbourne > digital biz owner in Bali > app designer in Sydney 🫥🫠

All of these choices were based on where the wind was blowing me at the time. It felt right, so I took action.

I’m living proof that you can follow your gut and stumble upon your true path somehow, somewhere… as long as you commit to changing direction with faith.

Faith is the secret ingredient that will carry you safely to the other side of the 5th dimension where your new life awaits.

Thank you for helping bring this concept to life ✨and for assisting.

‘Lost in the ricefields’ 🌾 Part 1

You will never know exactly where you are going, but luckily for us, possibility thrives in uncertainty. I’ve learnt that blind faith will carry you far when you walk confidently into the unknown, the universe somehow always holds you.

Thank you for helping bring this concept to life ✨and for assisting.

These photos were captured in a huge ricefield that backed onto my backyard in ubud, Bali at the time.

These photos were captured back in 2016. I was still at university studying, in a very exploratory and uncertain phase of life.

I think it’s super important to reflect every day; weekly; monthly on everything.

Where am I?

What am I moving toward?

Am I happy?

6 years flies by, just try to make sure you steer your own ship.

self-discovery will always take you where you need to go.

Dear 2022.
What a weird and wonderful adventure you turned out to be.

To think where I was one year ago, to where I’ve been, to where I am now, it’s a trip.

Physically, sure I’ve travelled and immersed myself in challenging environments, but the way I’ve changed mentally is a whole new ball game.

Physically,
I lived in a Hindu yoga commune for 6 months learning how to manage my thoughts and emotions better, and connect with my true values.

Physically, I moved to Bali for 6 months alone with no connections and managed to thrive. I almost didn’t come home.

But mentally…
I spent a year marinating in uncertainty and going with the flow.

I spent the year fully self employed, exploring self sufficiency on a new level.

I rediscovered my work ethic and passion for life, that had died slowly from my last comfortable job.

I developed a healthy sense of self, moving away from deeply entrenched codependent tendencies.

I found comfort in my own personal friendship with self and faced loneliness in the face.

I learnt new skills, completing a UX design course and explored videography.

I realised I needed to make changes to my tutoring business and took action quickly to move toward a future that inspires me.

But most of all, I created incredible meaningful friendships around the world and interstate, finding communities of people who feel like home.

Thank you 2022 for shaking me to the core and reminding me how incredible life really is.

There are so many thing I still yearn for, I still have insecurities, I still don’t know WHAT THE F*CK I’m doing, but IM GRATEFUL.

Little childhood Frey would be proud.

Thanks to y’all who have loved me through it all, the old and new, you’re amazing.

And to 2023, I’m so excited to indulge in every moment. Can’t wait to meet you.

Self reflecting on what was, what is, and what will be.

This time of year is prime time for journaling and it’s so important we do this to find closure from our journey thus far.
