My Mission
After creating my own dream life with my beautiful husband by my side, I came to a point where I wanted to inspire as many people as possible to do the same. It all started with an intention.
It took me longer than expected to get here but I feel like there were some lessons I needed to learn before I could finally create a Youtube Channel capturing our own adventurous dream life.
I then starting creating our T-shirt brand to further spread inspiration for people to live authentically, truthfully and to follow their hearts desires.
My Mission
It's simple really. I want to show people that you truly can Live Life Your Way regardless if you are travellers like us or have your own passions and purposes.
I'm here to inspire FREEDOM, FUN, ADVENTURE & PASSION
I want to encourage you to:
Live A Truthful And Authentic Life
If you've had a crazy idea or dream that you've kept locked up tightly in the back of your brains since, well forever, it's time to UNLEASH THE BEAST! 😂
I know you feel like you can't do it because of your responsibilities and commitments to either your friends, family or career but once you start filling up your own cup and follow your own desires little by little you'll soon be surprised to find your cup overflowing to everyone that surrounds you in a continuous stream of abundance.
Have Fun
You're not a robot, you're this insane, complex, creature full of powerful emotions who is made up of beautiful ancient stardust. Yep you read right. Did you know that humans and our milky way's centre have about 97% of the same atoms?! That alone should get you jumping out the door into some fun, loving moments.
- Other reasons to HAVE FUN
- It reduces stress and increases ability to deal with stress
- Increases serotonin (one of those feel good chemicals your body produces)
- Boosts energy
- Improves memory, concentration and connection with others
- Helps you sleep better
- Creates positive habits
So what are you waiting for? Be present and go have some fun today
Get Outside
Enjoy new experiences and exploring the natural world because it's really good for your soul and creates happy little humans.
Take Care Of Yourself
Self-care is paramount to following and achieving your dreams. I feel as if the society I grew up in encouraged me to keep pushing myself no matter what the cost, even when I was sick, even when I needed time a space to retreat and rest.
From my own personal experience I have found out just how important self-care can be for yourself, those around you and for fulfilling your dreams. Just passed our half-way mark with living on the road, life started throwing me a few curve balls. And let me tell you they hit me hard!
I found myself in a very unexpected situation that shook up my belief systems and made me question everything that I've been taught. It marked the beginning of a very powerful, crazy, amazing, scary, transitional period of my life. Not long after I was hit with the sudden death of my mother a month before my wedding and the following year I seemed to be continuously loosing other close family members and other important people in my life.
I experienced low moments as my reality no longer matched my belief systems, I no longer seemed to fit (although this was an illusion due to putting importance on other peoples opinions that were supposed to be close to me- another lesson). There was a time were I truly was at rock bottom. Trying to make sense of my feelings whilst also being knocked over the head with a huge amount of grief and not knowing how to process it.
Like I said though transitional stage. I pulled myself back up, slowly started reaching for better feeling thoughts, began a routine exercise regime and changed my diet finding out what foods worked for my body and what foods didn't. I took all the attention off those around me and what they needed from me and started solely focusing on myself.
Sounds a bit selfish right?! WRONG!
BOOM! best thing I ever did. I realised how much of myself I was giving away to other people, leaving very little energy for myself. I started to feel amazing again, my energy increased 10 fold. I truly dug deep down in my core and started squashing all of those feelings of unworthiness and not being good enough to bringing forth more of my happy, energetic wild side of a women to the table.
I learnt that from seemingly negative situations there is always positives and valuable lessons to learn. If I hadn't faced these challenges I wouldn't be living the best version of myself now. Self-care is paramount to your happiness and to those you love around you and I was to help you achieve that.
Protect And Conserve Beautiful Mother Earth That Is Our Home
The one thing that keeps me locked into the present moment. Whether I am hiking, sitting at the top of a mountain, swimming/surfing/snorkelling (generally exploring the ocean) or 4wding it creates those "in awe" feelings.
Of course we can't forget that we are all interconnected with nature so it makes a whole lot of sense to keep it and us in balance so we can have happy and healthy lives. I hope you see the importance of this.
Envision your dream, use your imagination, feel what it would be like to have already accomplished your goals, formulate a plan, then dive right into start living your best life today!
My Organic Tees
I wanted to create a product that aligned with a more environmentally conscious lifestyle and my mission above. We all create some sort of footprint on Earth which is normal as we are not separate from her. We can, however, be aware of this footprint and try to keep it in balance as much as possible (there is a give and take in play).
This is why I chose our 100% organic cotton tees that are free of chemicals, pesticides (reducing soil and water pollution) and hypoallergenics which also causes fewer allergies and skin irritations.
They are fair trade and socially ethical, paying the organic farmers fairly and avoiding unethical industry practices.
Also, to keep our footprint low I use a print on demand service. That means your Tees are made to order. This allows prevention of waste due to overstocking. How cool is that?!
Buying My Tees, Helps Plant Trees
You Legend!
To further align with my Mission I have partnered up with Carbon Neutral to incorporate our plant a tree program. This means for every ITEM purchased from Troopy Travellers a native tree will be planted in Australia. The trees that you help plant bring many valuable benefits to the environment including:
- Sequestering carbon
- Help soil salinity
- Help combat wind and water erosion
- Restore habitat for native animals
Planting trees also provides local employment, supports local businesses and may contribute to increased rainfall. So not only will you be rocking your new organic tee but you can also feel amazing that part of your purchase goes towards giving back and helping restore mother nature.
