Legends, Luggage & Leaps of Faith

I'm trading my writing desk for temples, jungles, and centuries-old secrets...

Apr 24, 2025

The closer they get to the truth, the more dangerous it becomes...

Deep in the jungles of Southeast Asia, a long-lost treasure is uncovered—etched with strange symbols and surrounded by whispers of betrayal.

When a renowned author is called in to investigate, she stumbles upon something extraordinary: clues that could lead to a brand new kind of adventure.

But she’s not the only one on the trail. Ruthless collectors, secretive syndicates, and shadowy rivals will stop at nothing to claim the prize.

From ancient temples to high-tech labs, untouched rainforests to underground auctions, she must unlock the past to survive the present.

Some legends were never meant to be found...

Sounds like the start of a cracking new novel, right? 🤩

Well… not quite.

This time, I’m the hero—and it’s real.

That’s right! After a couple of wonderful years living and reconnecting with friends and family in Perth, hubby and I decided the world wasn’t going to explore itself. So we’ve packed up our lives (again!) and are heading off for four months of EPIC adventures across Southeast Asia.

I’m beyond excited—and, of course, I’ll be sharing stories, photos, and glimpses of inspiration along the way. And who knows… maybe there’s a new book bubbling under the surface? 👀

Are you planning any adventures this year? Big or small, near or far—I feel like 2025 is the perfect time to escape the madness (just a little), shake things up, and reconnect with wonder.

Let’s make it a year to remember 🌏✨

What I’m Watching

If you love a good blend of history, adventure, and ocean mysteries, then you have to check out Shipwreck Hunters Australia on Disney+. This documentary series follows a team of marine archaeologists, divers, and filmmakers as they explore some of the most remote and treacherous coastlines in Western Australia in search of long-lost shipwrecks.

What I really love is how it weaves together epic seascapes, local history, and real-time discoveries—you can feel the thrill of the hunt as the team pieces together clues from archives, old maps, and oral history. Plus, the underwater footage is just stunning.

It’s equal parts Indiana Jones and Blue Planet—full of heart, curiosity, and breathtaking ocean views. Highly recommend for anyone craving a bit of inspiration, Aussie spirit, or just a dive into the unknown. 🌊⚓

Until next month,
