It’s amazing how big Halloween has become here in Australia lately — and I’m absolutely loving it! This year was extra special because the kids had a Halloween disco at school, so they were dressed up from the morning. My daughter went as a cute little Minion, my son was a scary skeleton, and I joined in the fun with a red dress for my devil look 😈.
We’ve been having the best time walking around the neighbourhood, collecting chocolates, and soaking up all the spooky vibes.
It’s such a joy to see the kids’ excitement, the laughter, and all the creative costumes around. Honestly, I think I’m enjoying it as much as they are (maybe even more 😄).
There’s something magical about the start of a holiday—the buzz of the airport, the excitement in the air, and the joy of embarking on a new adventure. As we packed our bags and headed to the airport, I couldn’t help but feel a wave of happiness wash over me. Traveling has always been my passion, and sharing this love with my kids makes it even more special.
The kids were just as thrilled as we were! From pulling their little suitcases to gazing in awe at the planes outside the window, their excitement was infectious. Boarding the plane, they eagerly took their seats, buckled up, and were ready for takeoff. Their joy during these moments reminds me of how much there is to appreciate in the little things—like watching the world from above or guessing how many clouds we’d fly through.
Traveling for the last 20 years has truly widened my horizons. I’ve explored over 30 countries, and while I’ve ticked off some incredible places from my bucket list, there’s still so much left to see and experience. Yet, despite all the adventures, the excitement of traveling never fades. Every journey feels like the beginning of something new—a chance to learn, grow, and make unforgettable memories.
Now, as I watch my kids embrace the joys of traveling, I hope they too develop a love for exploration. I want them to see the world, meet people from all walks of life, and understand the beauty of diversity. Traveling teaches us to enjoy life in its purest form, to be curious, and to cherish the world around us.
As we set off on this summer break, I look forward to all the fun, laughter, and memories waiting to be made. Whether it’s splashing in the water, exploring hidden gems, or simply enjoying family time together, every moment is a treasure. Traveling brings us closer, teaches us new perspectives, and fills our hearts with joy.
Here’s to the adventures ahead and a lifetime of exploration!
Halloween this year was absolutely unforgettable! Our neighborhood came alive with spooky sights, eerie sounds, and a magical energy that only Halloween night can bring. We kicked off the evening getting the into their costumes—each one excited and ready to go on a candy hunt! From superheroes to witches, they picked their favourites, and the joy on their faces was priceless.
Our neighborhood really went all out with decorations this year, transforming it into a Halloween wonderland. Each house had something unique to offer: ghostly figures lurking in the bushes, glowing pumpkins lighting up doorsteps, and even a few fog machines creating a truly spooky atmosphere. Some families had even set up entire haunted yard scenes, complete with life-size skeletons and eerie music that sent a chill down your spine! The kids absolutely loved going from house to house, each new stop more thrilling than the last.
One of the best parts was walking around together as a family. Halloween always feels like a time to come together, and seeing the excitement on the kids’ faces with every piece of candy, every spooky decoration, and every friendly neighbour handing out treats made it all the more special. It was a night filled with laughs, surprises, and so many unforgettable memories.
As we made our way home with overflowing candy buckets and tired but happy little trick-or-treaters, we couldn’t help but feel grateful for these moments. Halloween is more than just costumes and candy—it’s about the thrill, the laughter, and the joy of sharing it all with family and friends.
Hope everyone had a magical Halloween night full of treats and maybe a few tricks!
