Welcome! This is a blog about travelling deeper in the pursuit of beauty, while living a rich & rewarding “fixed life. It celebrates the people, food, culture & stories that create a sense of place, and finding the joy of discovery, wherever you are.

My name is Genevieve, I’m Australian and I live & work in New York City. I moved here in 2019 & found my dream job, in PR & marketing in the restaurant industry. I love to travel, and travel often, but I love my “fixed life” too. I will never try and sell you an e-course on becoming a “digital nomad,” because I’m a firm believer that you don’t have to quit your job to see the world.
