🌏❤️ If we hadn't started travelling, we would NEVER have met some of the most incredible people in our lives!
And honestly, that's something we still talk about regularly.
When we first set off travelling around Australia in our caravan, we were excited about all the places we'd see, the adventures we'd have and the experiences we'd share with our kids.
But one thing we hadn't quite anticipated was just how many wonderful people we'd meet along the way.
Families from all walks of life, people of different ages, backgrounds and experiences. Some travelling like us, and others simply going about their everyday lives in the places we visited.
Some we only spent an afternoon with, others a few days or weeks, and some even let us park up on their farm or in their driveway for weeks or months at a time (thanks, Julie Johnson & Russel Prince!) 😂❤️
We've shared meals, campfires, conversations, adventures, mishaps, plenty of laughs and so much more.
And we often find ourselves reflecting…
If we'd never stepped outside our comfort zone and taken that leap, our paths might never have crossed.
How wild is that?!
And it's not just about making friends.
We've met people who've challenged our thinking, encouraged us, shared their stories and opened our eyes to completely different ways of living.
Some have had a much bigger impact on our lives than they probably even realise.
It's been one of the greatest and most unexpected gifts.
And it's something we want our kids to grow up appreciating too.
That the world is full of wonderful people, and sometimes the most meaningful and memorable moments in life come from the connections we make along the way. ❤️
Now, here's something I'd absolutely LOVE to see! 👇
We've met SO many people over our years of travelling, both around Australia and overseas, and I think it would be pretty amazing to see just how many of you are here!
❤️ If you've met our family somewhere along our travels, would you pop a comment below and say HI?
Tell us where we met, even if it was just briefly!
Whether we shared a campsite, met at a playground or church, crossed paths overseas, joined an adventure together, or simply started chatting somewhere in this big, beautiful world! 😂
I'd love to see just how far our travels have taken us, and how far and wide those connections stretch!
And perhaps a few of you might even recognise each other in the comments! 🌏❤️
