👋 Hey, I’m Justine, a French girl turned Australia-based travel agent, sharing expat life truths, travel adventures, and outdoor escapes - the good, the challenges, and all the messy bits in between.

I’ve been so quiet here lately… and here’s why ⬇️

Life has looked very different this past year, and honestly, I’ve been struggling to find balance 🥹

In July 2024, I went back to my job as a Travel Agent - a decision I needed for financial stability, but one that also made me busier than ever. Then I went on a personal trip to Argentina earlier this year, which was incredible… but when I came back, I felt even more behind 🤯

Between work, personal life, and trying to keep this passion/work project alive, I just couldn’t keep up showing online. And I slowly became less and less present.

But here’s the thing: I don’t want to give up on this space. And the beautiful people I’ve met along the way. Sharing about travel, expat life, and adventures STILL and will ALWAYS makes me so happy, even if it’s not as consistent as before.

✨ So thank you for sticking around while I’m figuring out how to rebuild my balance. I can’t wait to keep sharing the real side of living abroad, the good adventures, and the messy bits in between.

2024 in Review : A Year of Adventures, Challenges & Growth ✨

I decided to turn my “December moments of my life abroad in Melbourne” into a yearly review. What a year 2024 has been!

I took the month of January to reflect on the past year and I finally feel ready to tackle the new year. That’s why I’m posting my 2024 review so late ☺️ If there’s one thing 2024 has taught me, it’s to live at your own pace. Not everyone’s timing is the same and it’s okay🙏

From hiking at sunrise in Wilson’s Promontory to going back into a 9-5 office job (after 2 years of self employment), it was a year of stepping out of my comfort zone, chasing solo adventures, and learning so much along the way.

Some highlights from 2024:
⛰️ Visited new places across Victoria: the High Country and the Grampians ranking as my favourites this year.
🛁 Two of the best unique stay I found in 2024 around Melbourne : The Nest & .tinyhouse
🏡 Moved in/out 11 time in a year 😅 yes you read correctly ! I did a good amount of pet sitting around Melbourne and finally settle down to a new apartment in late November.
🇫🇷 Travelled back to my home country and went on a short solo van trip around Britanny & Normandy.
🍝 Visited a new country: Italy - during a short mum/daughter weekend
👯‍♀️ Put my focus on building new connections and strengthening friendships
🎈 The best experience I did: hot air balloon above the Yarra Valley with

But it wasn’t all perfect. This year also reminded me of the challenges that come with living abroad—like missing family during the holidays, feeling lonely in difficult moments, juggling with mental health or the struggle of building a strong support system

Thank you to everyone who’s followed along and supported my journey. Your messages, tips, and kind words mean the world 💙

What’s next in 2025? More adventures around Melbourne (and around the world 🤗), new discoveries, and sharing more of what makes life abroad so special.

Let me know your highlight of 2024 and your 2025 plans in the comments—I’d love to hear it. 🙌

November has been a VERY chaotic month between life & health challenging situations, moving into a new place but also celebrating my birthday, once in a lifetime experiences and summer finally arriving in Melbourne.

In the chaos of life, here are some of my favourite little (and big) moments from last month :

1. Lost in the woods of Warburton Redwood forest

3. 30+1 birthday couldn’t get any better than this: a whole week of celebration thanks to my best friend and now new housemate🥰

Postcard from Mont Saint Michel 🏰🇫🇷

Situated in Normandy, this magical tidal island is a well-known tourist destination as well as being an important place of pilgrimage. 🙏

Mont Saint Michel is certainly one of the most astonishing sites in France.

1. Sunset over Mont Saint Michel from the Meandres
2. One of many narrow, cobbled streets in the village of Mont Saint Michel.
3. Built on the top and side of a rock, this fortress-like abbey is an architectural masterpiece.
4. Detail on the statue of Archangel Michael that adorns the top of the spire at the abbey church.
5. The view of the Meandres from above is my favourite 🤩
6. No photo can capture the immensity of this place.

This iconic place has inspired many filmmakers, did you recognise it from any of these films ?
