You know those moments in life that are so beautiful you kind of can’t take it in, in the moment? It’s more an 'after' the moment experience that allows you to fully digest it. Well, recently I had a bunch of those moments for 7 days straight. Last Sunday, at roughly 7:48am, I boarded a… Continue reading Sleeping with a smile

Best Present Ever
The last month of the calendar seems to be exploding with activities and catch ups. Brunch, lunch or dinner with family and friends, money going out more then in and hand cramps from all the Christmas card writing. I love a good Christmas card! Do you? Amongst the gratitude I have for my beautiful tribe,… Continue reading Best Present Ever
True story….
In 2010 I was on a flight from Vietnam to Thailand. As I buckled into my budget Air Asia seat, I was ready to embrace the unknown adventure that awaited me at Chiang Mai airport. Whilst I sat in my seat 'hoping' my big orange backpack was on the same flight, I enjoyed the lightness… Continue reading True story….
Fav moment of 2017
You know when you're on a flight, and you have no option but to scroll through all your photos because your phone is on flight mode; which means no Spotify, Instagram, Horoscopes or Tinder... I’m joking.....Gosh!! When you really have that ‘down time’ to not just scroll through photos, but pause, and remember how most… Continue reading Fav moment of 2017
EASY does it…
I remember the first time I met Harry, a fellow Pilgrim on the Camino. I had just walked up the big beautiful hill you can see in the photo above, with an enormous grin on my face. I don't mind a bit of up hill hiking! Harry was sitting on a rock right at the… Continue reading EASY does it…
It’s Called… LOVE
No no no, I haven't fallen in love with someone on the Camino..... I have literally fallen in LOVE with everyone! You know that ‘ONE LOVE’ that people like Bob Marley talk about? Well I think Bob walked the Camino before sharing these wise words! The most common phrases I have heard along my 92km… Continue reading It’s Called… LOVE
My 1st Shitty 1/2 day… it was Beautiful
I'm not sure if it was the 1.30€ bottle or vino Tinto last night? Or maybe it's the sharing of living quarters with up to 50 new and old friends for over 3 weeks? Hmmm, maybe the copious amount of sugar I have been consuming caught up with me? Regardless, this morning I woke up… Continue reading My 1st Shitty 1/2 day… it was Beautiful
Heads or Tails?
Ok, let me start by setting this scene!! I'm currently lying down on some daisy filled grass, in a tiny off road bit of land called San Bol- about 300m off the Camino path! There are about 35 big tree trunks surrounding the land, with fellow pilgrims like myself resting against them. If I look… Continue reading Heads or Tails?
Camino Characters
Before I left for my Europe 2017 adventures, my mama sat with me as I ate my usual Vegemite and peanut butter on toast. She commented on how she could see me connecting with so many wise 'older people' on my Camino travels. "They are going to share pearls of wisdom with Laura"! We both… Continue reading Camino Characters
The Acoustic version
Think about your favourite song? A song you love to listen to and which gives you such immediate happiness/relief/freedom inside. Got it? GOOD! Now imagine that awesome song which you love listening to, become an acoustic version! It gets slower, the words, chorus and rhythm of the song becomes more pronounced and clear! It's that… Continue reading The Acoustic version
