saying ‘yes’

For the past six months I've been building my business, Little Paper Plane, across multiple platforms and expanding my brand. I've been delving into the art of film and tried my hand at vlogging. Instagram has been a big focus of mine also, as I build my personal, lifestyle and travel photography brand to soon…

the leroys

Welcome to the 55th blog post! *cheers of excitement flood the room* Hey party people, what's been going on? Well, Covid-19, among the obvious tragic circumstances, has brought to my life a glimmer of hope and perhaps some good; I'm exaggerating, my life is great. It's reignited my passion for photography and my excitement to…

valley of clare

In my small, abundant corner of the world, I've been living my best life. Covid is still a strong threat to society and Victoria has recently gone into a second wave of lockdown. In hope of avoiding a breakout in South Australia, some precautions have been put back in place, but hopefully it doesn't go…

blessed are the curious for they shall have adventures

If I were to narrow it down to the most valuable thing that I learnt from our working holiday in Whistler, it would be gratitude. Although I had some understanding of what gratitude was, I had never truly practiced it. Gratitude: noun [mass noun]the quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation for and to…

go where you feel most alive

In the last twenty-four hours, I feel like I've entered a new chapter of my life, with feelings of relief and excitement. A chapter of movement, gratitude, travel and new goals astir. I've felt The travel bug growing exponentially in my belly and a strong craving for adventure; watch this space. Part 2/3 - the…

we must take adventures in order to know where we truly belong

I'm torn between going adventuring and pocketfuls of money. And in order to travel, I need pocketfuls of money, so I guess that's my first step. In Australia, particularly Adelaide, things are starting to open up again. For example, and most importantly, the gym reopens in less than forty-eight hours. Yeah, there's a bunch of…

alta lake + 23

Alike most, I am well and truly into the swing of self isolation and buying everything that pops up on my Instagram ads; obviously because I need it and I can't possibly live without. The only time that I am not at home is when I go to the grocery store for an "adventure". To…

home sweet home

It's official, we have returned home. I'm currently sitting inside our humble abode amongst the hills, wearing some comfy activewear after a workout on the deck. I just ate some overnight oats with mango, as I listen to the sweet 'hold' music that myGov has graciously forced upon me. And when I say myGov, I'm…

somewhere over the rainbow

Most days went along the lines of 'Eat, Sleep, Gym, Repeat' up until we started work. In between, we chatted within our new estate and became friends with Rachel and Emma. Steering away from going crazy (and only just avoiding it), we ventured out to Rainbow Falls, positioned on the opposite side of Alta Lake;…

lost lake

We arrived in Whistler a day before my first day of work. Unfortunately, things didn't go quite to plan. I worked approximately ten hours over the span of a month before I even had part time work. Jordan didn't start work till later in the season either. This made it tricky. Moving to a new…
