In this episode I share my journey going through some pretty major life changes and challenges, and really questioning my identity. From being an accountant, long distance relationship, moving countries, becoming a mum, career changes, miscarriages, these have all shaped who I have become in this chapter of life. I am definitely a work in progress and on a continuous self discovery and improvement journey. I want to turn my experiences and trauma into something meaningful and help others. Your identity is something that should evolve over time. It shouldn’t be attached to what you do for a living or what’s going on in your head, it should be based on what’s true to your heart and who you are on a deep level. Just remember to be compassionate to yourself. Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ana.f.hilario/ BLT Website: https://www.bucketlisttraveller.net/
So what is it really like living in Australia, London and New Zealand? Well it might appear that all 3 countries are very similar, which they are, but there are also quite a few differences in: People & culture Processes Weather & nature Travel & accessibility Language Life is too short to always live in the same country! So what’s stopping you from moving abroad?
Creating a bucket list is all about creating a fun set of goals. What are yours? Travelling the world? Running a marathon? Moving abroad? Climb Mt Kilimanjaro? Bucket lists can be grouped into the following 5 areas: travel adventure/experiences health & wellbeing personal & development work/finances/things But like with any goal, you need to break it down and make an actual plan. A goal without a plan is just a dream… What big bucket list goals are you chasing?

Portugal, Australia, UK & New Zealand. Where to next? Moving countries isn’t my first rodeo, I am now living in my 4th country and 6th city, so I have learnt a thing or two about moving, especially moving with a child and a dog during a pandemic. In this episode I talk about all the practical things you need to work through when relocating and some questions for you to ponder. A big move doesn’t need to be overwhelming, you just need to break it all down into small steps and cross one thing off your list at a time. Grab a pen and notebook, and start brainstorming where you will live next! A goal without a plan is just a dream… Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ana.f.hilario/ BLT Website: https://www.bucketlisttraveller.net/ Moving Countries Checklist: https://www.bucketlisttraveller.net/projects/moving-countries-checklist
