3:14 someone that messaged you on twitter, I think that was me! hi hello again Sorelle 😃 I said “been following you since 2017, you’re an icon of freedom” and you replied “holyshit! in my diary recently I put that I want to be seen as the face of freedom. and now you write this!” whoa this was 2 years ago!.. following your journey to this day, with all your vulnerability, I think you’re remain the face of freedom! 🙏🏾
Going back home can be one of the best parts of traveling long term. Everything you learned to love growing up is there. All of the nostalgia, the familiarity, the memories. There's something so delightful in getting to immerse yourself back in the place that made you after taking a lot of time away.
My fave saying in the whole world (I don't know why...) "We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring, will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time." -T.S. Eliot Welcome home!
I wonder if the nomadic lifestyle is a bit oversold. I like traveling, but I love the comfort of my own home and space more. Even something as simple as, I recognize the trees and the roads and the street foods. I would not want to live out of a suitcase for the next few years, I like having a home base, and then traveling for however long I like, or even not at all for a period of time... there is peace in both :) There is also joy in watching your plants grow :)
I like the more frequent vlog style updates. It's been fascinating watching your journey since the DMT trip, it seemed like that was your spiritual wakeup call and then through the course of healing, burnout, the Free Human movement, and now this, it's been fun to watch. I mean "fun" like interesting and engaging.
@@SorelleAmore any time. You're doing good work. Would love to interview you sometime on my channel, or vice versa. Learning how to live is critical in this day and age, and will only become more important with the coming changes to society. Offer is always there, but no expectations!
Great video! I left Costa Rica to live in USA for over 20 years. Unfortunately; every time I go back home to visit, I get reminded “WHY” I left CR and moved more than 3,000 miles away. I realized I don’t connect with the place and people where I grew up and instead I always crave to get back to my “New” home in U.S. Even when I have all my family and own land in Costa Rica; I am always looking forward to leave. I guess I lost my connection with Costa Rica. You can always find a new home wherever you find true happiness. Cheers!
It's so true about people not rely wanting to hear your stories. I've been back home for a long time now. My youngest cousins are now travelling and I make sure to ask, listen and be genuinely interested in their stories ❤
Sorelle, I feel you so much! I've returned home 2 years ago after 17 years elsewhere (other cities in Germany, but also Canada, UK) and have experienced so many of the things you mention. It's a strange mix of this super familiar place - but me not being the same anymore! I have so many added experiences and memories that, of course, make me see the world very differently than when I left. But yes, the soul does calm down! ... just renovating an old caravan, though, because my traveller soul will stay with me 😊
Thank you so much for that video Sorelle! I had lived abroad for 3 years, 3 different countries 2 of those i did not speak the language of (same, this is on me), I stood in the midst of the most beautiful south of france countryside with vinyards and sea view and just though: what am I doing here. I want to go home. And I am sure that I wanted this far earlier on but as I identified so much with the "girl who moved out from the tiny country, living the life everyone wanted to live" (or not), it felt like a failure to go home. I also identified so much with the "I never miss anyone" and I think it comes from "missing" = weakness, and independant strong women are not weak and don't need anyone. but that day in south of france I knew it was a choice and not a "I have too", and wow coming home, knowing everything, understanding the languages around me, OUTBREATH. so thank you so much, this somehow relaxed an inner part of me once again
I'm not a nomad but I totally understand where you are coming from. So happy for you that you found the courage to go back home and are embracing it! And I think it's so sweet that your brother has a tattoo on his chest that represents all of you siblings ❤
I traveled for 15 years and then one day, i had enough. I was 35 and I was done. I live in my lakehouse now with my dog in the Midwest in the town I grew up and couldn't be happier. If I never fly again, it'll be too soon. I've been there done that, seen the world, and am back to where I started.
It is good to see you are coming full circle and going back home. Chasing happiness all around the world, and finding none is because happiness starts from within. And our formative years imprint mostly our core beliefs.
Sometimes is hard to let go of the “ character “ indeed - I notice that I was slaving my life for this “freedom “ - I’m so in the same page as you ❤loving this phase
I still don't know how to explain it to myself, but feeling my nervous system calming down after coming back home ( same as your situation) has been one of the best things that has happened in a long time. wow, what a thing a human body is capable of
This hit me so much right now. I'm a New Zealander, living in France for the last 10 years, and am going through similar self-introspection about what is home. As much as I love the freedom of jumping on a plane so easily and visiting almost any EU country, there is definitely something to be said about being in a simpler environment. I only had that realisation visting the UK over the years and being surprised at how much I relaxed in a semi-similar culture. The nervous system does calm down. I love what France has taught me but it's all about finding that family and community in the end to help you create that solid safe base. I hope you find that Auzzi :) Oh and the pie shot, YES. The one food I miss from NZ haha !!
this video is such perfect timing, i just got back to aus after 4 years away. its so so nice to be home & to know that im not the only one who feels this way
THIS! I make RUclips videos in a similar spirit as you and have been so lucky to have lived around the world and most recently was doing full time road life across the NA continent and have been exploring so many of these same thoughts and spaces of relating. Appreciate how willing you are to be so self reflective on the ways in which you were not exactly actually free but more wrapped up in the concept of things and appearances (happens to us all!) LOVED what your sister said about comfort zones OMG! Think that's such a powerful point that most people miss - riding the edge is different for everyone. If you're comfortable always traveling well then maybe the growth you're looking for is in being still. QUEEN! Sending love from my little corner of the world to yours!
As they say 'there's no place like home' the place that shaped you and gave you the confidence to become the next chapter of yourself, the next version of you...I love the next chapter of life, its literally a blank page of what life as for you... I love that I experienced so much life, in my youth, its made me appreciate the 51 years of my life that helped shaped me...and I still get excited about travel and meeting new people...even though life and maturity, being a husband and a father have all created not only a support network, but witnesses to my progress that will witness both my joys, sorrows and lessons in life...perhaps I should have started a RUclips channel. All my moments are in the museum of memories in my mind...and I'm truly thankful. Thanks Sorelle for helping me to be cathartic in your comments section.
Absolutely true!! Thomas Wolfe said we can't go home again -but I believe that refers to time travel more than anything. You CAN go to the PLACE you call home, and be all the better for it!! Even if you're not an entrepreneur and/or digital nomad. If you're someone who is wrapped up in their "work" (even if you work at an office, retail store, etc.) and feeling like something is still missing, HIGHLY recommend going "Home" to learn more about what YOU need. Always remember that home is where your heart is -so for Sorelle it's where she grew up, for me it's where I've made a home for the last 21 years, and for someone else, it might be somewhere else.
I can fully understand you. I could never leave the country of my origin for good. It's great to spend some time in other countrys and cultures, but I grew up here. My respect to all the people who have to leave their home forever because of war or other circumstances.
I feel like theres just something about living in a different Country as a „grown up“ that makes you appreciate your home Country so much more! If I haven‘t been home in over a year I honestly start to crave it, and everything reminds me of it, an I swear I start to anonym the people around me, because it becomes all I talk about 😂 Our home countries are part of who we are and also contribute to the way we think and the way we do things
As someone who has been forced home multiple times out of fear of too much change and from things out of my control, I can say that each of those stints spent at home have been so necessary! I have a really hard time picturing how I will be living, nomad vs settled in one spot, in the future but I do think that letting the universe guide me in the directions that feels right hasn't steered me wrong. I feel like if I am too comfortable in one place I start to get antsy and thats when I know it is time for change.
This happened to me now soon to be 6 yrs ago, also lived in Iceland, first moved to UK to pursue artist career, did not work out and returned to my native city just like you. It was mostly not my decision and did not want that, but life just turned out that way and I did decide at the end to come back home as I needed to renew myself. Was also happy to have home to return to where I do not need to make huge money to be able to survive daily as it was the case in Iceland most of the time. I guess life has its own ways, we need to figure out how to make peace with its ways. All the best to you in this huge transition:)!
Yes agree with you and feel with you!! I am Swedish but been living in Italy and now in Uruguay since 5 years. I have 4 kids so its a little bit different but I start to feel more and more that I want to go " home" where I really feel home and that is Sweden..talked to my family about it and maybe we go this year to see how we feel but its just a feeling thats comes and we should listen to that inner voice..I never felt really home here and also veru tired to not be able to speak my language to anyone.❤ .
I love travel and love being a nomad. Many of my friends and family don’t get why I don’t stay in one house/space/place long enough but I get bored. However, as I age I have found that I like to have my own place where I can return too and know that everything I need and own is in that one spot. Once a nomad always a nomad though. I will always continue to travel and explore.
I moved to Switzerland 2 years ago, I was 4 months pregnant, had no job lined up and not much money. I moved in with my husband (who is not rich ha ha) and it was the scariest thing I've done. I have learnt so much and really appreciated the experience but now that I'm visiting home (Yamba/Sydney) it's so nice to just have the background tension of unfamiliarity gone and be replaced with childhood comforts is amazing. Btw I flew out of ballina yesterday!
Thank you for sharing your feelings about this change with honesty and vulnerability. You are BADASS *and* super real. It makes me feel better about myself haha
the big prawn was amazing! It reminded me, cuz where i live, we have the Big Duck, but it's actually also a building! You can walk inside and there's souvenirs you can get, its the best
Your conversation brings to mind the old saying, "No man steps in the same river twice. Because it's not the same river, and it's not the same man (or woman 😉) We can never go "back" , so in that sense it can't be a failure to "return" home. The best that we can do is be present right where we are, what a cliche right? But being "present" is a much talked about and less understood theme that perhaps links quite well with your meandering thoughts about being a nomad. I'd love to know your thoughts on "being present". Are you ever? What motivates your travels? Curiosity? Discontent? The need to prove a point? Adventure? All of the above? 😁 Thanks for putting out thought provoking content. I LOVE the Cruizer and and the one arm freestyle 😆
Wow you hit a million Sorelle. Congratulations. I am working on 10k. 😅 not a nomad but perhaps one day I will cast off. Going home is weird. We always expect it to stay the same.
Since covid I am not traveling as much as before. I am still attached to the person I was before and not 100% sure who I am now. The last 3-4 years I traveled inside of me and also discovered much of what is around the place where I live. I am more attached to nature than ever before now. But still trying to figure out if I want to leave again or build something like a homestad. I am in between.
@5:05-5:06 I fully support that (yes the cozy save haven to hermit in until butterfly phase, but also), the pause to comprehend “fact check” what has been said and really feel that truth (and thus the big childlike grin-nod lol)
I haven't been on a horse since I was a young child, my legs were so short by feet wouldn't reach the stirrups when I had the luxury of a saddle so I bounced all over the back of the horse with or without a saddle.
Sweet Sorelle, really enjoy everything you do and have done over the years! May I ask what lens you’re using for this vlog? I can’t seem to find it in the description or your website. Especially around 2:45 it’s a good wide lens, is it a 16mm or wider? Thank you 🙏🏼 love, Yara
I think not knowing anything of the language of the place you explore or live in for a while it's gonna inevitably make you miss a good part of the experience, you feel just like a guest
@@SorelleAmore Yes , this model is not for sale here. I would be very pleased to buy one for many outdoor activities but they are not on Toyota's price list in Europe due to fuel consumption normes and road homologation. Next time I put my feet back on Africa or for the first time down under, I rent one. Sorry for my french, if don't make myself clear enough.;-)
I feel this so much! Not as a digital nomad, but I left home the day after I graduated college to go out west (US) to the mountains, then lived in Peru, and now 11 years later I'm feeling immensely homesick and not sure if I want to return to my home state or not. Thanks for sharing your perspectives! It's wonderful to feel less alone
sorelle, I want to leave my city but I'm a broke bitch and I dont fully trust in my capabilties of making money. Any tips on how to move your ass and trust? id be very thankful
I was living abroad, co-founder of a startup proudly stating I will never go home again and instead move to other countries all over the world. I was judging others for never moving out of the town. When I visited my parents, I spontaneously decided to stay home. Financial struggle and a really stressful time still taking a toll on me but it is making me feel so safe being with my parents. I love the area I grew up in and I get to re-connect with my parents as they are growing older. I think things lead us to where we need to be.
I found this video quite comforting for some reason. Love your vlog style videos. It's so cool to see how your thoughts and views change and evolve over time. You really inspired me to become a digital nomad. Back in March 2022 I was finally all set to start my digital nomad journey. But the war had started just a couple of days before my flight to Germany, the first stop in my journey, and as a man, I'm not allowed to leave Ukraine anymore (unless I bribe the right people). I'm glad I got a chance to travel across Europe as a volunteer when I was 21-23. That's when you learn just how precious freedom of movement is. But ever since the war started I've been beating myself up because I probably should've left the country earlier. So when you said "maybe it's in your control, maybe it's out of your control" that reminded me of one important thing that I'd long forgotten: one should always focus on what one can control. Ruminating about what is out of your control can steal so much creative energy.
Can definitely relate to this ❤ currently in a weird place myself where I thought I did actually want to return back to Canada as a home base but then got a negative wake up call that it was not as I hoped. Now I’m back looking for a new home! Hope your new start in Australia goes great!
I find it really funny, I think your sister is so right! Your brother literally said: ‘it’s comfortable travelling all the time and going out of your comfort zone … I think it can become stale if your stuck in one place.’ So he just confirmed your sister. His comfort zone is the ever changing, it would be out of his (and your) comfort zone to try and not make life feel stale in one place, to get bored, boredom can be such a gift. Anyway off course you also don’t need to always push yourself out of your comfort zone but it was nice to see that unconscious confirmation of what Stef said :)
So excited for your new chapter Thank you for your authenticity Sorelle ❤️ the only reason he said You can’t go home again was because he laid it all bare was it his story to tell? You decide
I am so happy that you put this out there. I am currently in South Korea and plan to leave next year. I miss my family but I feel like I’m going to be shell shocked. 😮😮😮

Sorelle I am following you for like 5 years and you were my biggest inspiration (and still are)! Thank to you I was also motivated to start my journey in the online space (even though it was not about traveling because I just couldn’t afford it, but it was my end goal). And a few months ago I just moved to another country. Even though I had experiences staying abroad or traveling. I never lived in a foreign country without a date do comeback home. And it’s been amazing! So I don’t know when I will feel homesick, but I have to say that your videos always inspired me to be truly free and I thank you immensely! Love to see you glowing, in whatever part of the world 🧡
When you talked about people's response to your return back home it made me think of my experience which has been similar to the LOTR scene when the hobbits go back home and the old man is looking at them disapprovingly while sweeping the floor. Some of them don't care about your travels, some do but don't understand and can't relate, and a few are happy you're back. Been following your journey since Covid and am wishing you all the best back in Australia!
9 years living unconditionally, and when I visit home. people don’t know what questions to ask me, and even if they did, there wouldn’t be a relatable context in which I could answer them. No context for it 😅
Looks like a Martin's pie or a Wardell pie. Best pies in Australia!! I grew up in Ballina also and I'm constantly disappointed by the pies on my travels. Keep up the awesome videos!! Refreshing content 😊
You have shifted so much over the years, there have been many versions of you. And that's fine, of course. I just kind of noticed that usually when people, for example, go from minimalists to fashionistas, from healthy vegan to whatever eater etc, everyone seems to have a problem. Like they create identity just like you described your traveller identity. As if it's something unbearable that someone changes and unacceptable that the person behind the screen is growing up or changing their minds. It's just interesting... For example, I discovered you years ago when you were super active with advanced selfie, it was THE THING about you for me, but you don't do that much at all anymore, so for me to go crazy because you are not creating new videos about selfies every week would be nuts haha. Basically what I want to say- I feel the need for you to explain yourself and your life because that's what influencers "owe" to the people but then again, it's a bit crazy haha Anyway, just got me thinking. All the best with your new version (heartemoji)
Hmmmmm….thats a really damn good point!! Ha! It’s our job, so we try to keep it going for so long, but eventually we silly can’t and have to have a ‘life shift’. For most people that don’t have this as their job it’s called “change of hobbies or goals” and it’s just loss of enthusiasm towards something. Haha. This is funny. Thanks for this insight! 🥳🥳🥳

However, as I age I have found that I like to have my own place where I can return too and know that everything I need and own is in that one spot.
Once a nomad always a nomad though. I will always continue to travel and explore.
I can't stop smiling when watching your last videos!
I Absolutely LOVE This Woman ❤ I think she is Freaking AMAZING !!!
Thank you so much! I appreciate that! :)

Learning the language is essential. I've been living in Spain for 2 years now, not learning Spanish would make th experience claustrophobic.
I moved to Switzerland 2 years ago, I was 4 months pregnant, had no job lined up and not much money. I moved in with my husband (who is not rich ha ha) and it was the scariest thing I've done. I have learnt so much and really appreciated the experience but now that I'm visiting home (Yamba/Sydney) it's so nice to just have the background tension of unfamiliarity gone and be replaced with childhood comforts is amazing.
Btw I flew out of ballina yesterday!
Thank you for sharing your feelings about this change with honesty and vulnerability. You are BADASS *and* super real. It makes me feel better about myself haha
Your experiences always sync so much with mine. I love your videos sorelle!
Hi Sorelle!!! I love see your adventures!! Thank you for sharing your journey ❤🥰
the big prawn was amazing! It reminded me, cuz where i live, we have the Big Duck, but it's actually also a building! You can walk inside and there's souvenirs you can get, its the best
Which country has a big duck?
@@hamerful it's in new york, usa
Thank you for always being so real
Your conversation brings to mind the old saying, "No man steps in the same river twice. Because it's not the same river, and it's not the same man (or woman 😉)
We can never go "back" , so in that sense it can't be a failure to "return" home.
The best that we can do is be present right where we are, what a cliche right? But being "present" is a much talked about and less understood theme that perhaps links quite well with your meandering thoughts about being a nomad.
I'd love to know your thoughts on "being present". Are you ever? What motivates your travels? Curiosity? Discontent? The need to prove a point? Adventure? All of the above? 😁
Thanks for putting out thought provoking content. I LOVE the Cruizer and and the one arm freestyle 😆
Currently feeling so torn about heading home! Would love to have a bit of a reset, but not sure I'm ready to face all that comes with it
Wow you hit a million Sorelle. Congratulations. I am working on 10k. 😅 not a nomad but perhaps one day I will cast off. Going home is weird. We always expect it to stay the same.
What if I miss home but home doesn't have the optimal conditions for me?
Since covid I am not traveling as much as before. I am still attached to the person I was before and not 100% sure who I am now. The last 3-4 years I traveled inside of me and also discovered much of what is around the place where I live. I am more attached to nature than ever before now. But still trying to figure out if I want to leave again or build something like a homestad. I am in between.
@5:05-5:06 I fully support that (yes the cozy save haven to hermit in until butterfly phase, but also), the pause to comprehend “fact check” what has been said and really feel that truth (and thus the big childlike grin-nod lol)
Hahahahha. Yeah, this was a funny moment 😂😂🥳
Hey Sorelle, thank you so much for your videos!
Love the production quality of your overseas videos , if you can replicate that around Australia , they should be very popular 🤠
The purpose of a journey is to return home with a story.
You seem so much more chill
Freedom is in the mind
I haven't been on a horse since I was a young child, my legs were so short by feet wouldn't reach the stirrups when I had the luxury of a saddle so I bounced all over the back of the horse with or without a saddle.
I dint feel like I can be me at home... :/
Sweet Sorelle, really enjoy everything you do and have done over the years! May I ask what lens you’re using for this vlog? I can’t seem to find it in the description or your website. Especially around 2:45 it’s a good wide lens, is it a 16mm or wider? Thank you 🙏🏼 love, Yara
Ok but the Big Prawn is the coolest hometown landmark I've ever seen
😂😂😂🥳🥳🥳
What is your north node placement in astrology ?
💪💪💪💪
Welcome home
Blossom back into a butterfly 🦋❤
Oh, you got back to pool swimming! 💪
Yessss
I think not knowing anything of the language of the place you explore or live in for a while it's gonna inevitably make you miss a good part of the experience, you feel just like a guest
Happy you, back home and driving a Toyota Trooper in somehow outback (absolutely forbidden in Europe).
It’s forbidden????
@@SorelleAmore Yes , this model is not for sale here. I would be very pleased to buy one for many outdoor activities but they are not on Toyota's price list in Europe due to fuel consumption normes and road homologation. Next time I put my feet back on Africa or for the first time down under, I rent one. Sorry for my french, if don't make myself clear enough.;-)
Please baby, turn on the subtitles in english!
What a coincidence that I spoke these words just a couple days ago.
Why you share only good stuff what happened in last 5 years? maybe share the whole story.
She had shared about her breakup, about suffering, about financial issues. What more do people want?
Is that a stick shift you’re rocking on? 👍🏼
🥳🥳🥳
I feel this so much! Not as a digital nomad, but I left home the day after I graduated college to go out west (US) to the mountains, then lived in Peru, and now 11 years later I'm feeling immensely homesick and not sure if I want to return to my home state or not. Thanks for sharing your perspectives! It's wonderful to feel less alone
Does the "SKS" on your borther's chest stand for Stef, Konrad, Sorelle?
Yes 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥲🥲🥲❤️❤️❤️
@@SorelleAmore That is so cool! I love that you have such a strong sibling bond.
Hey sorelle, are you gone from insta?
nope. sorelleamore on there :)
Supa Valu Ba***na do sell coconut water! Haha I bought a can today, it's very hidden 😂
You might have the big prawn, but we have the big lemon squeezer.... and i'm not joking. 😂
I think you have to look at freedom as a journey, not a destination.
always good to have the bank of mum and dad. I though you were a multi-millionaire though
my mum has a bank? coooooolllll. Had no clue! I"ll ask her about it
@@SorelleAmore
you know full well what that expression means 🤣
sorelle, I want to leave my city but I'm a broke bitch and I dont fully trust in my capabilties of making money. Any tips on how to move your ass and trust?
id be very thankful
What hPpened
Are you also a robot
Such a hot mess! What happened to the $4.3 million real estate portfolio and the non-stop financial fear mongering videos?
I finally got a backbone and said enough is enough
@@SorelleAmore Respect 💕
I was living abroad, co-founder of a startup proudly stating I will never go home again and instead move to other countries all over the world. I was judging others for never moving out of the town. When I visited my parents, I spontaneously decided to stay home. Financial struggle and a really stressful time still taking a toll on me but it is making me feel so safe being with my parents. I love the area I grew up in and I get to re-connect with my parents as they are growing older. I think things lead us to where we need to be.
so comforting to have someone go through this literal homecoming simultaneously with me! and thank you for sharing your journey
Sorelle, you look rejuvenated! The magic of grounding yourself i guess ❤ btw I’m loving this comments section!
I found this video quite comforting for some reason. Love your vlog style videos. It's so cool to see how your thoughts and views change and evolve over time.
You really inspired me to become a digital nomad. Back in March 2022 I was finally all set to start my digital nomad journey. But the war had started just a couple of days before my flight to Germany, the first stop in my journey, and as a man, I'm not allowed to leave Ukraine anymore (unless I bribe the right people). I'm glad I got a chance to travel across Europe as a volunteer when I was 21-23. That's when you learn just how precious freedom of movement is. But ever since the war started I've been beating myself up because I probably should've left the country earlier.
So when you said "maybe it's in your control, maybe it's out of your control" that reminded me of one important thing that I'd long forgotten: one should always focus on what one can control. Ruminating about what is out of your control can steal so much creative energy.
The big prawn 🤣
😂😂😂
My heart felt just full watching this video, I supposed yours is showing it💥
Thank you for being such a light in the world, Sorelle. 🙌🏻
Thank you for this observation
Much love! 😊@@SorelleAmore
We're always home. It's just that some places to live, attract us more than others.
Can definitely relate to this ❤ currently in a weird place myself where I thought I did actually want to return back to Canada as a home base but then got a negative wake up call that it was not as I hoped. Now I’m back looking for a new home! Hope your new start in Australia goes great!
I find it really funny, I think your sister is so right! Your brother literally said: ‘it’s comfortable travelling all the time and going out of your comfort zone … I think it can become stale if your stuck in one place.’ So he just confirmed your sister. His comfort zone is the ever changing, it would be out of his (and your) comfort zone to try and not make life feel stale in one place, to get bored, boredom can be such a gift. Anyway off course you also don’t need to always push yourself out of your comfort zone but it was nice to see that unconscious confirmation of what Stef said :)
I love that you and your siblings all say "so" with the same cadence
So excited for your new chapter
Thank you for your authenticity Sorelle ❤️
the only reason he said
You can’t go home again was
because he laid it all bare
was it his story to tell?
You decide
I am so happy that you put this out there. I am currently in South Korea and plan to leave next year. I miss my family but I feel like I’m going to be shell shocked. 😮😮😮
Sorelle I am following you for like 5 years and you were my biggest inspiration (and still are)! Thank to you I was also motivated to start my journey in the online space (even though it was not about traveling because I just couldn’t afford it, but it was my end goal). And a few months ago I just moved to another country. Even though I had experiences staying abroad or traveling. I never lived in a foreign country without a date do comeback home. And it’s been amazing! So I don’t know when I will feel homesick, but I have to say that your videos always inspired me to be truly free and I thank you immensely! Love to see you glowing, in whatever part of the world 🧡
When you talked about people's response to your return back home it made me think of my experience which has been similar to the LOTR scene when the hobbits go back home and the old man is looking at them disapprovingly while sweeping the floor. Some of them don't care about your travels, some do but don't understand and can't relate, and a few are happy you're back.
Been following your journey since Covid and am wishing you all the best back in Australia!
Going home is good for regrouping and getting centered again... No shame in the game!
say hi to Konrad! miss you guys and spirit farm
I've been traveling for almost a decade and 100% understand how it feels to miss the English language. Welcome back home Sorelle!
9 years living unconditionally, and when I visit home. people don’t know what questions to ask me, and even if they did, there wouldn’t be a relatable context in which I could answer them. No context for it 😅
Looks like a Martin's pie or a Wardell pie. Best pies in Australia!! I grew up in Ballina also and I'm constantly disappointed by the pies on my travels.
Keep up the awesome videos!! Refreshing content 😊
You have shifted so much over the years, there have been many versions of you. And that's fine, of course. I just kind of noticed that usually when people, for example, go from minimalists to fashionistas, from healthy vegan to whatever eater etc, everyone seems to have a problem. Like they create identity just like you described your traveller identity. As if it's something unbearable that someone changes and unacceptable that the person behind the screen is growing up or changing their minds. It's just interesting... For example, I discovered you years ago when you were super active with advanced selfie, it was THE THING about you for me, but you don't do that much at all anymore, so for me to go crazy because you are not creating new videos about selfies every week would be nuts haha. Basically what I want to say- I feel the need for you to explain yourself and your life because that's what influencers "owe" to the people but then again, it's a bit crazy haha Anyway, just got me thinking. All the best with your new version (heartemoji)
Hmmmmm….thats a really damn good point!! Ha! It’s our job, so we try to keep it going for so long, but eventually we silly can’t and have to have a ‘life shift’. For most people that don’t have this as their job it’s called “change of hobbies or goals” and it’s just loss of enthusiasm towards something. Haha. This is funny. Thanks for this insight! 🥳🥳🥳
Great reflection. I've recently returned home after 20 years away and doing similar. Catch you on the road one day.
Haha we'll see how long this lasts. Going home is fun of course, because it's contrast. I wonder how long you'll stay.... My guess is under 2 years
I love your channel!! And your life philosophy 🧬🤙
