Nomad notes by Vero Goes Solo

Where I am now 🌍

I’m writing to you from the wonderful Byron Bay 🇦🇺, where I recently moved.
I can’t complain about life here, I’m living just 3 minutes away from one of the most beautiful beaches I’ve ever seen, and my days have been slow, simple, and full of sunshine.

I spend a lot of time at the beach, doing a lot of pilates and yoga, and it’s been much easier to focus and work on my projects. Compared to Sydney, everything feels calmer, lighter, almost like life naturally slows you down here.

And yet, this might sound surprising, but I realized that even in a place like this,
I don’t feel fully me.

As much as I’ve enjoyed this slower rhythm, I started missing the excitement, the movement, the feeling of being constantly inspired by new places, new energy and like-minded people. The lifestyle I had before, the one that kept me curious and evolving, is still what feels most aligned with who I am right now.

So… I’ve made a decision: I’ll be leaving Australia in a few weeks
and I couldn’t be more excited.

If you’re curious to know where I’m heading next… stay tuned for April’s newsletter!

This month’s travel toolkit 🎒

📱 App I’m actually using: Google Lens
I’ve been using this a lot lately while traveling. Whether it’s translating menus, understanding signs, or even identifying random things I come across, it makes navigating a new place so much easier. One of those small tools that makes a big difference.

🌐 Site worth bookmarking: Atlas Obscura
Perfect if you’re tired of “top 10 things to do” lists. This site helps you discover unusual, hidden, and lesser-known places all around the world

🧳 Travel hack I swear by:
Before leaving a place, save a few “last things to do” for your final days. It gives you something to look forward to and helps you leave with a sense of closure instead of rushing or feeling like you missed out.

✍️ Writing prompt for fellow travelers:
Have you ever stayed somewhere that looked perfect, but didn’t feel right? What did that experience teach you about yourself?

Want to chat with me?
Have you ever experienced something similar, being in a “dream place” but realizing it’s not your place? I’d love to hear your story.

Until next month, stay brave, stay curious, and keep going solo 💫
