Loneliness & meaning

Tue, 24 Sep 2024 00:22:21 GMT

I have had my first few weeks in Melbourne and have already experienced some ups and down in my own mind. I forgot how it can be difficult traveling on your own because it is so easy to experience the feeling of loneliness. But all struggles come with insight and newly found perspectives. I want to thank my beautiful fiancé for always picking up the phone talking to me about things no matter the eight hour time difference. ❤

In this episode I tell you more about my exciting travel partnership with Greyhound Australia!
