My name is Georgia and welcome to my blog where I will share the wonders and oddness of my mind including stories and ideas, interesting adventures I go on and whatever else I may discover.

Feeding off the vibes and energy of other people can be powerful and empowering. We were in a two-story reggae bar; lights were flashing and shining on the tipsy tourists dancing in front of the stage, the band was jamming to the most-demanded reggae songs of all time (queue Bob Marley), and around us people were laughing and singing along. Before we entered the bar, I was feeling a bit mentally exhausted – we were in another country surrounded by a totally different set of cultural values and ideas, so my body was feeling tired. Once I stepped foot in this place, everything changed. I saw all these people swaying and drinking to the music, people having a great time, and instantly I felt happier. Just seeing the smiles on everyone’s faces made me grateful that I hadn’t turned around and gone to bed.

It makes you think that it’s possible to change someone’s mood by simply smiling.

Where do I see myself in three years? That’s a big question, and it’s been something I have been thinking of constantly. Three years seems like forever away, but I know it’ll all come sooner than I expect. Which is a scary thought. I don’t know where I see myself. Even if I did, how do I make sure I get there? How will I know when I find that something? People seem to have their little things that they are good at, that comes naturally. When will I find my ‘thing’? How do I make that ‘thing’ happen? I feel as if everything I do is because I’ve seen it somewhere else. Sure, that’s not necessarily a bad thing. In fact, I could turn it in to a good thing, If I knew how to do it my own way. Something original.

I meditated properly for the first time the other day. Never would I have expected to have so many emotions become raw and meaningful. During the meditation, the voiceover asked you to think of the most beautiful place you’ve been to and take in all the surroundings, really think about what makes that so special to you. Rather than thinking of one place, a series of images and started flashing in my mind. In my mind the thoughts varied from sitting on the stairs at my house watching the birds play in the pool, to running on the most beautiful beach with my dog, lying in bed with my boyfriend, and eating dinner with my family. In that moment I began to realise that I don’t have one special place, and I think a lot of people feel the same. A beautiful place is nothing without sharing it with somebody or surrounding yourself with things that truly matter to you. Home isn’t a destination, but a person or even a feeling. You can dream all day about being somewhere with perfect white sand and the sun shining on your skin (don’t get me wrong, that sounds dreamy), but for me, the real magic happens when I’m surrounded by familiar things that make me feel comfortable and safe.

Butterfly thoughts...

Butterflies are a bittersweet reminder of the fragility of life. Something so beautiful and gentle will die too soon, without experiencing the scent of all the flowers of the world. After a loss of a loved one, it is said that butterflies become more apparent around you. Whether it is a mere coincidence or a sign that perhaps your loved one is still with you, there is no denying a range of emotions when you come across a butterfly. From shock and sadness, to comfort and reassurance, a butterfly is unique in its gift to move humans. It’s been over a week since we lost our dog, my best friend, and there has been an abundance of butterflies dancing around the home, and I can’t help but wonder if that is him

Travel Thoughts

Within only a few years I have been to Japan once and Europe twice, and my gosh they were both just so amazing. And between travelling to these places, I have also been down to Victoria and back to Queensland twice for music festivals and sightseeing. However, I’ve recently been thinking about how little I have actually seen of my own country. Of course I have been so lucky to have driven down South on the coastal route, however I haven’t gone much further than that; and when you think about it, this country is huge!

Recently we went to Northern Queensland to a tiny town called Bluff for a family event. Thinking there would be nothing to do there, since it is so remote, we didn’t have our hopes on adventure set to high. But we were wrong. Yes it was quiet and small with not too much to do, but we were lucky enough to discover one of the most amazing waterfalls I have ever seen. We drove up to Blackdown Tableland National Park which was about 20 minutes outside of Bluff. From there we went to the first lookout we found and walked 5 kilometres to the top of a waterfall. My partner, being as adventurous as he is, found a path for us to go down to see more of the waterfall. When we went down, we found the most spectacular devil pools overlooking the vast country landscape of Queensland (some of it anyway!). I couldn’t believe my eyes. 

This is when I got to thinking about how many beautiful places there are near me that I haven’t yet discovered. So, it’s time to whip out the camera, do some research and travel to places I wouldn’t normally even consider. 

I hope you enjoy the photos of this waterfall - if you ever go there, it’s a sight you will never forget.

The Power of Adventure

‘To move, to breathe, to fly, to float, to gain all while you give, to roam the roads of lands remote, to travel is to live.’ – Hans Christian Andersen

There is an amazing feeling when you are on the road going somewhere you’ve either never been before or somewhere you feel at peace. I see travelling as a gift. The incredible opportunity to see so much of the divine creations of mother earth. It also gives us the chance to reconnect with ourselves, to clear our minds and appreciate how amazing things can be, no matter how tough you may have it. Life is a journey full of beautiful places. It’s important to practice gratitude in your everyday life and to be mindful of where you are and how you got there, which is why stepping out of your comfort zone and going on that adventure you’ve been dreaming of going on for so long can do wonders for your soul. Go out there, see the world and give something back. We are a tiny speck in a big world, yet we can have such a huge impact.
