I cannot believe this dream actually became a reality ... YOU CAN F*KING DO IT 💪

For a long time I was struggling with myself and what my purpose really is. I had been studying for 7 years, but that didn't really gave me whatever I felt I deserved, except the beautiful friends from home and the certificates. Eventho I travel this much, I still much appreciate all my amazing friends from home and I hope you still realise that.
Questions as "Where do I want to live? What makes me happy? Who are my friends? Where do I feel myself without being judged? and where am I going?" are part of my daily routine discussion within my already busy head. And still.. I haven't fully found IT and that is okay, I am just following whatever I feel that is right at THIS moment.

There is one thing I know and that is that I believe in myself and know that I will get myself to the place and the people I deserve. Everyone tells me how lucky I am with this life and I realise that, but for the most part I believe that I will always go all in and chase my dreams, and therefore create my own luck. This, working in the Whitsundays on a sailing boat and making people happy everyday, is one of the greatest gifts that I could give myself after all this hard work and I believe this is making me a happy person. The travelling has been amazing, but definitely hasn't been easy at times. Don't always believe what you see on Instagram, as these good times come from the hard struggles I have been through, just keep believing in yourself even though that is not always easy.

When I look at this photo, I see how happy I am and how I got myself in one of the most beautiful work offices and environments I could have ever imagined. And no, this is definitely also not always as amazing and perfect as it seems, as there are many hidden obstacles. But in the end, I have followed my own dreams and followed my heart to get to a place which I believed was further than the moon: Australia 🇦🇺, a small 15.000km away from home and all the way on the other side of the world. Step by step I am getting there!

I know I am doing it the HARD way and that is exactly what I need to do to be the best version of myself taken in Airlie Beach, Queensland by @instanthomas
