About me

"You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose. You are on your own. You know what you know. And only you’ll decide where to go.”
– Dr Seuss

 

Hi my name is Mel, something that you may notice about me is that I always wear a smile :) I have a Bachelor of Early Childhood Education, I am currently not using my degree and instead travelling and learning through experiences. I am currently working on and off as an early years educator and when I'm not, you'll find me in the Daintree Rainforest. I enjoy blogging about all the experiences that I have achieved.

I live in Melbourne most of the time, if not travelling and exploring then working in the Daintree Rainforest, I like to hop around a bit. I am the oldest of six children and the youngest is four years old. I love spending time with my family. We have a family dog named Freddie.

When I’m not blogging, working or volunteering, I love to challenge myself with new experiences, spend time with my family and friends, read books, explore, take photos, cook yummy foods and I am passionate about environmental sustainability!

When I originally started writing the Challenge List I just wanted to get out into the world, to explore the unknown and live every moment. The original Challenge List has 400 experiences that I want to achieve and currently I have 25 left... I am very close to finishing which I am stoked about as its definitely been a journey to get this far. I started writing Challenge LIst 2.0 because there is still so much of life to experience and why stop at one list. I am putting all my energy into finishing the original Challenge List before I start on the Challenge List 2.0. I hope to inspire you reading this as well, sometimes you just need that spark of inspiration...
