Welcome to Travel

New year, new you… right? 👀 That annual saying we repeat to ourselves over and over again. Every year we convince ourselves that in order to be happier we NEED to reinvent ourselves. But what if you told yourself that this year could be different… What if you didn’t have to have a glow up in order to move to the other side of the world? 🌍 What if being unapologetically yourself was in fact the BEST way to meet new people and find your Aussie tribe? 🇦🇺 When you choose yourself, everything around you will choose you too. Being the most authentic version of yourself will allow you to enjoy every moment, every connection and every opportunity when travelling. And the memories you’ll make will feel even more special for it. Making the decision to travel can be daunting, but we guarantee it’ll be a choice you’ll never regret. Especially when you can enjoy it by simply being yourself. New year, new opportunities, new friends. Same you.

Most of the time, living abroad is an exciting adventure... But it’s only natural to miss home, especially around this time of year 🏠❤️. Nothing is worse than feeling lonely during any celebration, but rather than feeling down... STOP what you are doing and remember how far you have come! The January 2024 version of yourself would not BELIEVE the incredible adventures you’ve been on this year 🤯. Not only that, but the people you’ve met, memories you’ve made and fears you’ve overcome are now all part of your remarkable story 🙌. When you’re surrounded by fellow travellers, its easy to underestimate how courageous you’ve been to leave home and travel the world. And even though you may not be able to experience those memories with your friends and family, know that they’ll always be your biggest cheerleaders back home 🫶💗. So, embrace the challenges and cherish every moment of this extraordinary chapter in your life. Home may be far away for now, but your journey is worth every step! 🌏✈️🇦🇺 Share this video to ones you love most to let them know you’re thinking of them 🥰 #welcometotravel
