25.01.2022 This day, 5 years ago, Josh and I got married at Tomorrowland after only being engaged for 1 week This is the story of of our wedding. Josh & I were on our first overseas trip together where he proposed to me on the plane We then saw a post on Facebook from Tomorrowland seeking for a couple to get married there.. We joked about it at first but then decided to apply. Out of a few thousand applicants, we were selected! The day before we are due to arrive at Tomorrowland... for the 3 day festival, I had an hour to find the perfect dress and catch three trains to Tomorrowland. We had to be there on time to organise our rings or we would miss out. We made it just in time. I remember calling my parents on the night before our wedding, in our tent telling them that we were eloping and getting married at Tomorrowland. My dad wanted to buy a plane ticket and get over there to be there. But of course that couldn’t happen. We organised Josh’s mum to attend as she happened to be in Belgium at the time. Everything else was organised for us, we were treated to a champagne breakfast, hair & makeup, celebrant for the ceremony & our own private villa to stay in that night. We said our I do’s with tears flowing. It was pure magic, a dream come true. Then we partied for the last day at Tomorrowland. Our hearts were full of love & happiness. If we had the chance, we’d do it all again. #lovestory See more

25.01.2022 You are my sunshine How is everyone doing? What is everyones situation where you are? Take care of you mental health during this time. Look out for each other. If its possible to go for a walk and get some sunshine dont forget to do that, vitamin D is super important Hope everyone is staying safe!

23.01.2022 Hey in case no one has told you, you have every right to feel the way you do. How often do we get told or got told growing up to stop crying! or were punished for being angry, sent to our room, or even told we were over reacting.. what if I told you that no one actually over reacts? They simply have a strong reaction to something because it reminds them of a childhood trauma in which they felt immense pain. Setting ourselves free is finding the root cause of our pain, ...being allowed to feel the way we feel and be validated by our friends, family and partners for our feelings. Lets accept each other as we are, we are free to feel, we must feel it is the essence of our being!! Lets allow ourselves to feel all emotions- good & bad and stop suppressing them or pushing them away. Only then we will feel whole. Connected. And truly HAPPY! Does this resonate with you? LOVE is the answer, loving all parts of us, good & bad all things just are See more

18.01.2022 We’ve always stood for LOVE, acceptance, radical INCLUSION, peace & kindness. We dream of a world where that is the standard, nothing less. Nobody deserves to be mistreated because of the colour of their skin. How can we help? End racism. End corruption. End hate. End the broken system and start choosing compassion. We need to come together! I want to live in a world of compassion and love for all- what do you want to see?? The change starts with you #blacklivesmatter @ Darwin, Northern Territory

16.01.2022 LEARNING NEW THINGS AS AN ADULT Today we met up with some amazing friends from Australia & we were talking about things you only just found at as an adult that you should have known earlier. Mine was Classified Ads I always thought was ClassFIELD Ads ... Josh didnt know if you flick your zip backwards after doing it up it locks it in place so it doesnt come undone! What have you come late to the party in knowing? Photo: Hello LA Taken at LACMA (Los Angeles County Museum of Art) they have these awesome rows of lamp posts! We couldnt go inside the museum itself as it was closed but we loved wandering around the are. TIPS: Right next door to La Brea Tar Pits & Museum & you can go see real tar pits where theyve uncovered thousands of fossils!

16.01.2022 THE EYES ARE THE WINDOWS TO OUR SOULS They tell us so much. What do our eyes say to you? ... We hope youre all doing ok during this lockdown. We want to share a message with you all- to not panic & to use your time to really connect with yourselves. When do we all get moments like this to really focus inwards on ourselves? Without distractions and stress of work? I call for you to really see the positive that could come of this situation & really get to know yourself. ...Self love is something this world is crying for. When we all love ourselves, we have space to love each other more. We feel more whole which then reflects to our outer world. So be still, meditate, journal, reflect, ponder, create art, ask yourself lifes big questions. What am I here for? What is my souls purpose? What fills me with joy? How do I create that in this life? We are here to support any of you if you need it! Sending love & light to you all through these transformative times See more

16.01.2022 Happiness is the simple things in life, like finding a huge seashell on a beautiful secluded beach after a 5KM hike!! What makes you happy?

13.01.2022 A waterfall by the ocean Have you ever seen that?? This hidden gem was such a beauty to find! We werent daredevils enough to go swimming at the bottom in the open ocean (waves crazily crashing against the rocks) but this waterfall had a little bay next door perfect for swimming and spending the day.

13.01.2022 LAYING LOW what does this mean? We are in Darwin which is a small town in Australia. Even though it hasnt really reached here (only 1 case) we are being smart about the current situation of our world. So no large gatherings. No international travel. Cooking at home. Netflix & chill. Switch games. The occasional wander on the local deserted beach or out in nature. Yoga. Meditation. Healthy whole foods. Remember its us against the virus, not each other! Sending love & light to you all @ Darwin, Northern Territory

12.01.2022 It’s spring & that means it’s flower season here in Perth Kings Park right now is in bloom, Kangaroo Paws, bottle brushes & wildflowers are abundant with the beautiful backdrop of this gorgeous city we call home. Couldn’t help but dust off our camera and go out to take some photos Do you love spring?? What’s the weather like where you live?

11.01.2022 Throwback to an edit I did in Costa Rica last year My hubby, my mirror, my reflection of light & darkness and everything in between ... 2020.. its already May guys what a wild ride its been a time of reflection, slowing down of life, going inward & truly grounding in all aspects of the word. While our plans this year have been flipped and washed away, we are ever so grateful for all that we have and for all that will come. Josh and I are excited for this next chapt...er in our lives with less travelling as we have been nomads for officially 3 years this month! Its been incredible and we feel so fortunate to have had the opportunity to live our dreams and see the world. We will be heading home to Perth soon however we still arent allowed to get there with border closures, but as soon as we can we will be making our way there and staying put for a while what is everyones plans this year? Has a lot changed for you? See more

10.01.2022 GRATEFUL no matter whats going on in the crazy world around us.. Taking on the worlds problems only brings us down and creates problems in our reality that dont even exist.. We feel the weight and heaviness on us but yet when we look around us in our immediate environment, do these problems exist for us personally? Generally no, so its better for us to focus on our actual situation and what can be done to feel content and happy right now in this moment. When you feel... yourself start to stress about worldly problems, stop and ask yourself- is there something I can do about this right now? Does this affect me right now? Youll find more often than not the answer is no, and therefore in that moment you can shift your focus to your current environment and breathe and feel present and know that you dont need to stress about what you were thinking about. If theres something you can do about it, take action or take a note to take action when you can. That way it leaves your mind clear to enjoy yourself and not stress for no reason We find making time every day to do something you enjoy is critical to living a happy healthy life.

10.01.2022 A poem written by Olivia- LOVE CONQUERS ALL A new world is coming, can you feel the energy? A shift in perspective, with new ways comes new synergy The world is changing, no more greed or lust We wont let this divide us, come together we must!... Where our focus flows, our energy goes Will you focus on the light, or our enemies & foes? This is not the end, but the beginning of something new If only you could really see it, just like we do! So dont fall into fear and fall apart Know that we are one & feel it in your heart Love is the answer, love will get us through We will create this new would, together me & you! So are you with us? We hope you are! Realise what your soul is, a being of light from far We can create heaven on earth if we truly try But we may first need to feel, we may need to cry This new world is waiting, please come & see We dont need to fear the change for it was meant to be So move into your hearts, focus within and feel at peace For we are in this together, its only perspective that will cease We will stand together & rise not fall For as we already said, love truly conquers all -Olivia @thesoulmateconnection See more

09.01.2022 A MAGICAL WATERFALL Theres something just so calming and beautiful about a powerful waterfall! We find ourselves lost and in awe in the beauty of Mother Nature every time we are in ones presence. This is the magical La Fortuna Waterfall! It is only 10 minutes from the centre of La Fortuna, costs $18USD each (recently went up due to taxes) and theres 500 steps down so be prepared for that. It was so tall and powerful with gorgeous blue water! What an experience ... TIPS: Get here right at opening time if you want to have it to yourself as it gets quite busy with tours and people most days. We got there at 7am, waited at the ticket counter and then ran down so we could enjoy it all to ourselves Blogs & travel inspo can be found on our website THESOULMATECONNECTION.COM.AU Captured La Fortuna Waterfall, Costa Rica @thesoulmateconnection See more

07.01.2022 DANCE LIKE NOBODY IS WATCHING The moments we remember the most are those which we are most present When you remember this, its easier to surrender to the now and embrace it, for the now is all that ever exists ...

Or do you often get lost in thinking about the past/future?

07.01.2022 HAVING FUN SHOULD BE OK FOR ADULTS TOO Dont you just hate how we are told to grow up or the general sense of what society says is acceptable to do when youre an adult for fun and whats childish? We think the world would be so much happier, less stressed and all round better if we just relaxed more and played! Its ok to be silly, to let your inner child splash around and be present in the moment. We sometimes forget what thats like and think its only ok for kid...s to play. Dont forget to play too! Swipe for moment Josh splashed me in the face and also my fave photo of Josh completely washing himself in water Do you make time to play? Our Costa Rica guide is now live on our website!

05.01.2022 Hi Instagram family as you all might be feeling, the world is changing and humanity is going through a shift at the moment. Our lives have come to a halt so we can stop focusing so externally and shift our focus internally.We would love to share more of our knowledge we have learnt over the years with you guys so we can help you become the best version of you and have healthy relationships, not just romantically but with yourself and those people close to you. w...e believe that is of the utmost importance right now as we navigate these stormy waters. This doesnt mean we will stop travelling (however this isnt our focus for a while with the state of the world) or stop getting creative together in our photography, we just feel we have so much more we can share with you all than just travel blogs! Josh and I have been not only on a journey together these last 6 years but before we met, we had a huge journey of self development & realisations. Together we help each other grow and heal our past wounds so we can feel more whole, more connected in our hearts and live each day in LOVE! So expect to see a little bit of a change in what we share as we shift our focus so we can be of service to humanity our love and light to you all!! See more

05.01.2022 STORY BEHIND THE PHOTO After a 2 hour hike through the 1968 trail in La Fortuna, we arrived to this awesome volcano view! While we were waiting for the other hikers to leave so we could get a photo, a lovely little black bumblebee was mistaking me for a pretty flower I thought he had flow off then felt a tickle on my shoulder which I thought was my hair, tried to swipe my hair off my shoulder and it turned out to be the big black mr bumblebee who promptly stung my fin...ger Second photo of Josh kissing it better TIPS: The Arenal 1968 trail takes you through the jungle where you can spot a lot of wildlife along the way before you walk over the old lava flow Cost is $16USD each or guided tours are $40 Wear good closed in walking shoes and of course watch out for damn cute but nasty bumblebees The trail takes about 3 hours to complete and totally worth it for the up close views of the volcano!

04.01.2022 Hey all you beautiful wild souls It’s been a wild ride lately. We find ourselves less online these days as it can be a little overwhelming with what’s happening in the world, but we still love being here and connecting with you all, even if we don’t post as regularly as we use to we’ve had a lot on our agenda lately, we had to get approval to fly home to Perth from Darwin (the same country and we had to wait weeks for approval!) after unexpectedly spending 3 months in N...T finally got approved and flew home on Monday. Flying during this time is strange. We all had to put masks on at arrival, had our temperature checked and asked if we had been overseas or sick recently. Then onto what was equivalent of customs check to get the final clearance through and be told to isolate for 14 days. It’s currently day 3 of our iso, we are sorting stuff & keeping busy So it’s official guys- we are no longer nomads!! After 3 years of living out of a suitcase, this years plans went out the window (as I’m sure it did for everyone else ) and we had to end our little travelling adventure a little earlier than anticipated. Despite this crazy year, we are feeling lucky and excited to start this new chapter. We missed routine, having our own bed, our home town of Perth, feeling grounded, having a place for our stuff, a place to call home & of course our friends & family. Although we will miss catching up with our global friends, let’s hope we can travel again one day soon! If you made it this far, thanks for reading about our journey. We will still be here creating and sharing our adventures and seeing what you all get up to as well! Much love from us ... Photo: taken in Darwin before we flew home See more

03.01.2022 Dont forget to SMILE the energy right now on our earthly home is intense. Fear is neither good or bad. Fear is information.

Freedom. Equality. Kindness. Lets focus our energy to creating this world together and not focus on the fear. @ Darwin, Northern Territory
