I'm Moving to Europe!!




The last month has been an absolute whirlwind. 
Right now I am supposed to be a wife. A barefooted housewife pottering around the kitchen preparing dinner for my hubby in a humble log cabin nestled in a tiny town in South Africa.When I envision this, I am already one month pregnant. Probably a son. I'd have called him Maverick (no, not after the strip club which said hubby would more than likely frequent... after a wave. A very big wave to surf in California. There's the surfer girl coming out in me!)Instead, I am more free than I have ever been.
"Don't ask her why she needs to be so free... she will tell you it is the only way to be."
I have paid off all of my debt, snipped up my account cards, resigned from my job of three years, given notice at my gorgeous flat where I can lie in bed and listen to the ocean roaring at night. I opened up my life savings and instead of doing what I normally do (buying flights to some exotic paradise like Siargao in the Philippines for a little traveling holiday,) I spent the majority of the money on training courses and medical examinations which I have now completed, leaving me fully qualified to go and work on yachts and cruise ships! I made some absolutely wonderful friends during the two weeks of training and we all became very close:   








From there, everything happened so fast that I am still trying to catch my breath. I landed a job on a drop dead gorgeous yacht with what seems like an amazingly friendly crew and the next thing I knew, my one way flight to Italy was booked. I fly out in exactly 21 days (whose counting?) and have to work at the gallery practically every day until the day before I fly. Hard work pays off though. Always remember that. 
Should it stress you out that at 25 your life is starting completely anew? Is it stressful that I now have no home, no address and will be living out of my suitcase as I travel the Med all Summer long (probably even indefinitely), working hard as a stewardess along the way?Maybe it is. Maybe it should be stressful... But it's not. Because this is what I have always wanted. 
I am extremely excited to crack open the spine of my beautifully decorated travel journal and document my experiences both working as a stewardess on a yacht and also to focus my attention back onto the travel section of this blog. I adore sharing my travel stories and photos with people who are just as passionate about travel as I am.I love reading other travellers stories and become so inspired by their words and moments captured through a lens. 
So I guess all I have to say is....holy SHIT guys! I'm moving to Europe!!!
21 days and counting.
Bye bye South Africa.
