Culture Shock – A Diamond In The Rough

November 5, 2017November 5, 2017by hayleeerenee2 Comments on Culture Shock – A Diamond In The Rough

Walking through markets thousands of kilometres from home, discovering local cuisine, and listening to locals shout their wares, has become a small part of the now familiar way that each new culture has tickled all five of my senses over each border I cross. As I scrutinise the likes of each culture, the way they [...]

Hey there!

As humans, we all face similar spells of good fortune, and the rocky roads of struggle, though still so unique to ones’ self, I think we can all relate to each other, in some respect. This blog is an archive of my travels, life lessons and experiences. Whether you’re seeking validation, connectedness or in one way or another, an understanding, I hope my blog in a sense relates to what your twenties were, are, or will be.

Currently missing this beautiful city ✨ I’m definitely visiting this year (it’s all booked) but why can’t I just hop over there for the weekend 😭 Why is Australia a minimum of a 24 hour plane ride to Europe?! Blessed to have my heart in more places than one, but Europe I miss you so 💛 See you soon Paris x . . . How cool are the jet streams in the sky? I didn’t notice them that day, only now 😂😍 . . #teamkaptainkenny #aussiesabroad #parisfrance #thisisparis #lifeinparis #passionpassport #wheninparis #lifeofadventure #glt #gltlove #traveldreamseekers #eiffeltower #prettylittletrips #parisjetaime #topeuropephoto #hello_france #europeansummer #map_of_europe #super_france #parislove #pariscityvision #summerineurope #prettylittleparis #girlgetters #traveltagged #traveljournal #prettylittleiiinspo #eiffeltowerparis #eclair #frenchpatisserie

I don’t know why, but when I look at my Death Valley photos, all I see is ice cream 🍦 Am I the only one? 🌞 . . As soon as we hit this desert the heat hit us immediately. It’s insane how hot I remember feeling in this moment, yet a few hours later I was freezing cold trying to get warm in a tent not too far away ❄️ . . . . . #tkkusa #teamkaptainkenny #deathvalley #nevada #desert #nevadadesert ##usroadtrip #aussieabroad #aussietraveller #traveldreamseekers #discoverunder10k #glt #gltlove #travelinladies #tlpicks #beautifuldestinations #dramaticlandscape #desertvibes #deathvalleynationalpark #usnationalparks #exploreusa #ladiesgoneglobal #sidewalkerdaily #thetraveltag #roadtrips #dametraveler #mytraveljournal #traveljournal
Straddie is my new favourite happy place 💛 Sometimes I forget how lucky we are to call Australia home 🇦🇺 Does anyone else have this on their doorstep? 😜 Why go to Burleigh when you can come here and essentially have the beach to yourself 🌊 There were quite a few more people on the island this weekend because it’s school holidays; but still bliss 🌞 The water was insanely clear blue on Saturday, I didn’t want to leave. But when you have red hair and freckles, you’ve got to be cautious of those sun kisses ☹️😂 . . Why am I climbing a tree? I’m just on the look out for drop bears 🐨 Have you heard of them? . . . . . #stradbroke #stradbrokeisland #straddie #flindersbeach #australianbeaches #aussiebeaches #beachbum #goodforthesoul #straya #crystalclearwater #dropbears #aussietraveller #australianislands #teamkaptainkenny #tkkaustralia #gltlove #girlgetters #dametraveler #darlingescape #traveldreamseekers #travelinladies #beachplease #queensland_captures #queenslander #qld #australiagram #australia
The top of the pyramids at Girraween have always been one of my favourite places ever since the first time I climbed them as a little girl 🌞 Girraween is an Indigenous word meaning ‘place of flowers’, a fitting name for what puts on a show of the prettiest wild flowers in the Spring 🌼 This photo was taken going into Winter in May last year. I think it’s about time I head out again for another cabin weekend of winery visits and rock pool swims.

Golden hour magic ✨ Sunflower season has started 🌻 This field is only about 20 minutes from home, so you will probably see a lot more photos soon! My little brother also bought a drone today, so I can’t wait to go back out tomorrow with him and the rest of the fam 📸 P.S. Warwickians, no we didn’t flog that flower, the farmer cut one off for Mum to buy 🌻💛 . . . . . #traveldreamseekers #aussieabroad #allora #myhometown #prettylittletrips #theglobewanderer #citizenfemme #wandertheworld #australiagram #mytinyatlas #forahappymoment #australia #lifeauthentic #ladiesgoneglobal #wordswithqueens #queensland #Writelife #lifeofadventure #warwick #herlife #sheisnotlost #glt #girlgetters #globelletravels #SidewalkerDaily #flashesofdelight #teamkaptainkenny #tkkaustralia
Happy New Year to all of you beautiful people! ✨🎶 I know, I'm a little bit late to the party but hey, I'm here 😂I'm not going to hit you with some new year resolutions or goals in this post because to be real, I've never done the whole new year new me thing. I simply work towards my goals differently - more of a scrap the timeline, wing it and take life as it comes kind of girl 💭 . So instead, I'm bringing to you my favourite photo of 2018 (and apparently yours too). If you saw my stories the other day, 2018 was full of lots of 'finally' moments for me - finally graduated University, finally coming home, finally visiting Sydney and finally visiting Paris! 🇫🇷 Something I wanted to do ever since I was a little girl, admiring the iron lady in books at school. . I think that little girl would be amazed to know the places she has been ✈️💛 So here is to another year full of ticking off the bucket list I wrote once upon a time. 🖋 . . . . #teamkaptainkenny #aussiesabroad #parisfrance #thisisparis #lifeinparis #passionpassport #wheninparis #lifeofadventure #tkkeurope #gltlove #girlslovetravel #eiffeltower #prettylittletrips #parisjetaime #topeuropephoto #hello_france #europeansummer #map_of_europe #super_france #parislove #pariscityvision #summerineurope #prettylittleparis #girlgetters #traveltagged #traveljournal #prettylittleiiinspo #eiffeltowerparis #traveldreamseekers #darlingescapes
Another day, another beach 🌊🌞 Straya 🇦🇺 This was me happy as Larry yesterday, today I’m so burnt I look like a lobster 🤓 #redheadproblems . . How was everyone’s Christmas?
