Free Spirit










When Free People asked me to take some pictures of things I love about Australia for their new guest blogging project I had to hold myself back from it being a full blown surf snap fest. Luckily I've thrown in some piccies of my favourite delicacies and nature shots to save you guys from a beach bum overload, hehe.

To see the full post with my personal notes on what I love you can check it out here, thank you so much to Julia from FP and Free People for now shipping to us Aussie chicks. xx

    I am in love with your photography! Almost every post, I end up saving one of your photos and making it my new desktop background. Makes me feel like my body is studying in Stockton alone but my head is frolicking on the beach out there with loved ones...

    Your pics make me dream and fly up high and feel the freshness waves of a deep blue sea !! I'm not unfortunately a surfer !! I wish I could be so brave in that sense !! Tarifa in the south of Spain is well known for being a place for surfers and when I go there I just appreciate and admire surfers' prowess and their bodies (let's be sincere ;;) ! And another dream is to travel one day to Australia !! So thank you for all this !! xoxoox
