I guess I should introduce myself. My name is Elle, I'm 25 years old from Brisbane, Australia but my heritage lies in the Emerald Isle. I'm just your average twenty-something year old chick wanting to get the most out of life.

I live with my fiancé and our cat, Cat, in Brisbane. If I'm not being lazy on the couch I am cooking, taking photos, or spending time with my loved ones. I've recently committed to this whole fitness thing and began training Muay Thai. My fiancé is a professional Muay Thai fighter so it was only a matter of time before I gave it a crack. Turns out I really enjoy it. I do not fight, only train for fitness and fun. 

I have the itchiest feet on earth. I love travelling. I only have one thing on my bucket list and that's to see as much of the world as I can and experience as many cultures as I am able.

I'm currently trying to launch a business, and I'm learning it's never as easy as it seems. Despite many setbacks I'm determined to power through until I reach my goal. 
 

On July 24, 2013 I lost my beautiful Mumbo to Cancer. I've overcome a lot of depression and anxiety and continue to work at it every day. I still have bad days but they are fewer than the good ones. I'm a strong advocate for normalising mental health discussions and want to do my part to remove any negative stigma that might be attached to mental illness. 

​

This blog is really my online journal. I'll touch on everything above and more. I started blogging as an attempt to remind myself during depressive and anxious episodes that life continues and can be enjoyable after losing someone who is part of you. It's helped me more than I thought and I've found a love for photography because of it. Additionally, this gives me a platform to share my pieces of writing. 

​

This is my story. It's the things I love, the things I hate, and the people that make me happy. I hope you enjoy!
