Nomad notes by Vero Goes Solo

Where I am now 🌍

Hey there! I’m almost late to the party this month, sending this out right at the end of October 😅 But I promise I have a good excuse… I’ve been super busy with a pretty big move to the other side of the world! 🌏✈️

I’m writing to you from Sydney 🇦🇺, my new home for the next chapter of this adventure.
After years of traveling around the world while working remotely, I felt it was time to slow down for a few months and settle somewhere that truly matches my lifestyle, a vibrant city full of energy, creativity, and opportunities.

Of course, I had my doubts at first. This move felt like a big step, but as I keep learning on this journey, sometimes the best thing we can do is to keep moving forward, trust the process, and embrace the uncertainty of the unknown. I don’t know how long I’ll be here yet, but for now, I’m enjoying every single moment and I couldn’t be happier with this decision. My only goal is to make the most of everything this incredible corner of the world has to offer… and to enjoy another summer, of course ☀️

If you’re curious about how to move here, find a job, or start a new chapter in Australia, feel free to reply to this email, I’m planning to share more about it soon!

This month’s travel toolkit 🎒

📱 App I’m actually using: Meetup
A simple way to find local events, language exchanges, and interest-based meetups wherever you are. I’ve used it to meet locals, join casual walks, and find creative workshops, perfect when you want to connect beyond tourist spots and find like-minded people quickly.

🌐 Site worth bookmarking: Cultural Reads
A curated blog by another travel lover who shares books, films, and insights from cultures around the world. Perfect if you love discovering the world through stories and art.

🧳 Travel hack I swear by:
One reliable power bank (10,000–20,000 mAh) and a tiny charger with at least two USB ports save you from hunting for outlets in cafés, trains, or hotels and keep all your devices charged for photos, maps, and last-minute plans. Bonus: keep a short cable organizer so your chargers don’t turn into a mess.

✍️ Writing prompt for fellow travelers:
Think about a moment when a big change felt scary at first but turned out to be exactly what you needed. What helped you take that leap?
