Introducing Steph
 |
| G'day! How are you? |
I established Adventures in Aussieland after relocating to Australia from the United States. The blog began as a means to document my Australian exploits with friends and family overseas. I aimed to document my experiences and inspire those closest to me to get out and see the world!
Over time, Adventures in Aussieland has expanded and developed. I've integrated my expertise in wellbeing and exercise to support everyone in pursuing their finest adventure, whatever path they take.
Explorations in Aussieland focuses on pushing past your limits, fostering self-development whilst testing your abilities. I provide travel advice and techniques, travel narratives, fitness guidance, and wellbeing & wellness insights. My philosophy: the experience matters as much as arriving at your goal.
5 Interesting Details About Me
1. I hold a Bachelors in Psychology, a Graduate Diploma in Applied Behavioural Analysis, and a Masters in Special Education.
2. I began exploring internationally from 2013 onwards. To date I've explored 17 countries (with many more planned).
3. For the past eight years I've been involved in the mental health sector, dedicated to promoting knowledge and combating stigma around mental health disorders. Over the last 4 years, I've managed my own practice throughout Australia.
4. I manage two ongoing health conditions that occasionally complicate travel, though they don't prevent it!
5. I have a wonderful pup called Archer. I make an effort to bring him along on as many adventures as I can, so he'll frequently appear throughout my blog posts and on social platforms.
Living as an Expat
If you'd asked me six years ago whether I'd ever consider leaving America, I would have said no. However, after experiencing a profound loss within my family, exploring Europe, and discovering my passion for travel, I knew it was time for a change. Following a stint volunteering in Bali, I decided to depart the United States.
Numerous individuals relocating from America often describe themselves as 'expats.' I prefer to avoid this terminology because it appears to favour Western populations. The term "immigrant" frequently carries a deeply negative connotation, which I'm endeavouring to change.
Settling into a foreign nation presents considerable difficulties. Many content creators don't discuss the ongoing hardships that newcomers experience. I'm aiming to shift that by documenting everything—successes, challenges, and reality.
