Growing up in England and moving to Australia at the age of 8, I have been fortunate enough to experience and see lots of the world and meet so many incredible people along the way. Of which led me to complete a Bachelor of International Studies (basically politics but with a little more culture and class) in 2019 and simply loved learning about the interconnectedness of history, language, people, beliefs and culture on the world in which we live.

But not too long ago, after a few too many COVID lockdowns and immersing myself in the fitness industry, I started to forget who I really was.

So in 2023, I booked a one-way ticket to Thailand in search of something more.

Fast forward to 31 countries and a lifetime of memories later, I’ve come to understand the power travel has to transform your life.

From dancing on tables and hiking through mountains to floating in the Med and scootering through cities,

travel has taught me more about myself than I ever thought possible.

By getting out of your comfort zone, meeting new friends, and challenging yourself every single day — travel encourages you to be brave, go beyond the ordinary, and take charge of your life.

And so that’s how ELEVEN was born — a travel/mindset blog and podcast sharing the stories, places, and people that changed my life.
