Feeling Stuck?
Read This Before Another Year Passes You By

Hey ,
I know what it’s like to feel stuck. To wake up every day knowing you want more—more adventure, more freedom, more excitement—but not knowing how to make it happen. You tell yourself you’ll figure it out next year, but then another year passes, and nothing changes.
I’ve been there. I remember the days of working in a supermarket, scrolling through photos of people living abroad, wondering how they actually did it. It felt impossible, like something only meant for ‘other’ people—people with more money, more connections, or more confidence than me. But then I did something that changed everything: I took one small step forward.
At 22, I packed my bags and moved to London, even though I had no real plan and barely any money (around 2.5K AUD). I was anxious. I doubted myself. But little by little, I figured it out. I found a job, met new friends, and built a life that I never would have experienced if I had let fear keep me stuck. And now? I’m doing it all over again—this time on an even bigger scale. My fiancé and I are saving $40,000 to travel long-term, working towards remote income, and building something that gives us the freedom to live on our own terms.
And I want you to know that you can do this too. You don’t need to have all the answers today. You just need to decide that you’re done waiting.
If you’re afraid of making the wrong move, remember this: the only real mistake is letting another year pass by without taking action.
Start small.
Research a visa.
Learn a skill that can get you remote work.
Book a one-way ticket. Whatever that first step looks like for you, take it.
I promise—once you do, everything starts to change.
