I’d never planned for this road trip to be a minor initiation, but it turned out to be. I would travel across south-eastern Australia, for seven days in a 2005 Nissan Xtrail I named Xander.

That was the day I knew the power of the cacao medicine. That was the day I knew that I might one day honour the myth Izaias shared with me and guide the medicine out of the forests, and into the hearts of those who come my way.

This is a story about trusting intuition and honouring the wisdom keepers of the sacred plant medicine, Ayahuasca.

A journey to a sacred destination on an ancient pilgrimage route in the low-lying hills of Somerset, England, on the day of the pagan festival that is Lammas.

One of the most beautiful things about being gifted thirty-six years of life is the ability to have had enough time to know the seasons of change.

I'm deeply grateful for the recent opportunity to join my dear friend, Ness, on the Guide-Ness Podcast, talking all things intuition, divine guidance, sacred feminine and what it means to step into truth.

From 2015 to 2022, read about how my blog, The Altruistic Traveller, started and what it grew to be.

I’ve come to realise the beautiful thing about growth is that it offers us the ability to see how far we’ve come.

As we enter 2022 and embark on another beautiful cycle around the sun, I am determined to live a simple life with an open heart and work on finding that deep sense of peace and acceptance within myself.

Often, in order to know ourselves in harmony, we must know ourselves in dissonance.

Dear 33, I love you. Thank you for helping me grow.

Little did I know I was about to experience some of the hardest days of my entire life, simply by sitting still.

A story about my decision to take my journey deeper inwards and participate in a Vipassana meditation retreat.

The hardest part wasn’t figuring out what I really wanted. It was realising what I’d be willing to give up in order to achieve it.

I write these reflections as I enter my 33rd year of life and reflect on time, patience, courage and what it means to feel truly content.

What does it mean to be “home”?

I am in an arena of perfection, nothing good or bad, nothing north or south, nothing right or wrong. It is a realm of pure, peaceful oneness.

It might be hard to believe that it is possible to tap into something that we cannot see. But there is so much that we don’t know about our universe.

Koh Phangan - an island of duality where magic can happen at any moment… and you can also lose your shoes at a secret beach party.

It’s 2019, I’m 32 years old and I’ve surrendered to the natural flow of the universe, which called me to Koh Phangan, Thailand.
