Meet The Flamingo

You didn’t come this far to stop

This is Floyd. He's busy chasing our dreams so let me, introduce him. Floyd comes from a rather large family, a flock of 65 flamingoes, to be exact. For years, he enjoyed long walks on the beach, mud baths, and fishing. But now with the world as his oyster and the new opportunities for travel he is finding new hobbies for us. Having been a part of such a large family Floyd didn't get a whole lot of attention growing up, at least not as much as he would have liked. He also didn't get to travel much as his colony loved their home and the abundance of fish. So Floyd loves this spotlight and we will see his face often, opportunity to travel the world. He's a fun, fearless, faithful and sometimes a little feisty. He would like me to add that he is also fabulous.

How We Met

You didn’t come this far to stop

W5 years or so into my solo travels, I was starting to feel a bit lonely and stopped doing some of the things that I used to love doing. I got complacent and l started to go places see them and leave as if I was checking off a box. I was underwhelmed by them of course, because I wasn't truly experiencing them. I guess you could say I got lazy. That child-like wonder that had first felt when travelling, had gone dormant. I contemplated during a long hike, why it had gone and what had changed, it made me reflect back to my childhood, when I had an insatiable appetite for all things new & exciting. I thought of family trips, like playing with dolphins and feeding tflamingos on a trip to the U.S Both had left an impression on me and I was fascinated by their playful, care free nature. Reflecting on those memories, I asked the universe to bring me a companion and more of those types of experiences.

I kept along on my hike, and after an hour or so, I heard footsteps on the path. Who could that be walking so close to me I thought, and when I turned around to see, it was much to my surprise, the universe had gifted me a friend indeed. Now, when I asked for a companion, I was thinking more along the lines of tall, dark and handsome. But instead got long-necked, pink & quirky.

This was how I found my flamingo, how he found me or I suppose we found each other.

Meet The FOLlOWER

Bri

Hi. I'm Bri. I am a solo traveller born in small town of 600 people in Canada. About 15 years ago I got a taste of travel, then decided to buy a house, start a bed & breakfast out of my house and start my what I thought was forever life. But the universe had different plans for me. The circumstances lead me to start travelling again and what turned out to be a 3 month healing trip turned into a 7 year, and 40 plus country adventure.

Having very little income and no travel partner gave me the opportunity to be resourceful. As a solo female traveller it taught me how to be safe & smart.

People ask me all the time, how do you do it.

So here I am to tell you how I did it and how you can do it too.
