Hey from ME
Why hello everybody
I am Brittany and I am currently travelling the world for… work. That’s right. Basically I go to many amazing places and hardly ever see anything!
I am a 20 year old from Australia. It was definitely never a dream to end up in this industry but in some ways ‘luck’ gave me a career.
My mum put me into a ‘fashion’ summer program when i was 15.. because like most 15 year olds, I did not get along with her (some would say ‘brat’ but i disagree). The idea behind this was as a sort of ‘deportment’ and to teach me some manners.
The prospect of people judging me based on my skin, height etc. did not sit well with me but I did learn very quickly that it is an efficient way of being able to travel, while earning money.
I moved to Sydney at 16 and decided that it was, and still is, my favourite place in the world. I did a brief stunt in Hong Kong when i was 16 (hated it) and NY at 17 (hated it) and back to Sydney I went. A year ago I decided to ‘bite the bullet’ and head back to NY and Paris for work. I am not going to lie, I still strongly dislike NY but I will bear it for a few months of the year. Paris takes a while getting used to, but given I do not know the language, it’s a beautiful thing when you sit back and just observe, listen and watch a person’s body language in order to understand them. I hear that some of the things that are said to girls on the street are quite vulgur, but as I don’t understand yet, I will just assume they are nice people.
So I start this blog in order to force myself to do things. I tend to get bored if I have even an hour off work a day and won’t leave the house. Currently (when I am starting this blog) I am in Paris, it’s winter and I should bloody be in Australia when i belong.. with the sun, my family and friends. I am trying to come up with some other life decisions, such as where I want to be and what I want to do (that would require having a home and not having to move my things every other month).
Now, hopefully my plan will work and I will have something interesting to write about! Enjoy ![]()

I love your blog already, Brittany!
I’m glad you at least got some dates out of your Marrakech experience. Maybe I should’ve warned you the stall keepers and would-be tour guides can be extremely persistent…
