A new chapter in my life as well as our lives as a family has begun. We moved to NOOSA!
In early January, we packed up our things and moved north to tropical Noosa. 1.5 hours drive north of Brisbane in the Australian state of Queensland. We had really only just moved into our new home in Melbourne before deciding to make the move, a change in lifestyle, better weather and the opportunity to expand my fitness business to a face to face option as well as online arose.
Fast forward a month or so and here we are. Writing this to you from a humid, sometimes rainy Noosa. I know its been a while since I last made a post and It won’t happen again 😉 Turns out moving to a new state, and setting up a business is more time consuming than I thought- but here I am, back on track.
We already love Noosa, the people are awesome and the lifestyle is as we had hoped. The weather has being up and down, but it all comes with this time of the year. Everyone up here has been telling us how winter is their favourite time of the year- obviously something no Melbournian would EVER SAY. The summer months are known for more rain, hotter weather and crazy humidity, turns out we only just dodged a cyclone recently too, kinda happy about that! While it has rained a few bit in recent weeks, I don’t think the temperature has dropped below 27c once during the day, making the rain somewhat a non issue. On top of the fact the ocean temperature is hovering in the low 20’s it really hasn’t bothered us!
With that being said, we obviously spend a lot of time outdoors and I get to cruise around in my ideal outfit. Shorts… yep, thats about it, I think I’ve worn shoes only a handful of times since moving here and I LOVE IT!
The business is going well and slowly growing. Daily training sessions on the beach make for the best office I could ask for. There is something about working out, by the ocean as the sun comes up which is special and good for the soul! It’s allowed me to make friends quickly and really enjoy spending time and working with all the awesome people who come to my sessions, I’m super grateful for that!
Noosa and surrounding areas has so much beauty to be explored, from the beaches to the hinterland and everything in between. Amazing walks through the national park along rugged ocean begin at the end of our street. Harley is loving the environment and with the climate, gets to be at the beach and generally outdoors a-lot more. It is the perfect place for kids to grow up.
When it comes to my own training and personal fitness, being in Noosa is right up my alley. I love being outdoors and training by the beach and local parks, I love the hot humid weather we have had so far, while sometimes I have found a midday workout slightly too challenging, its all good fun! I feel like my fitness has gone up another level since being here, even if it’s only being a short time. Partly due to loving my training environment and having so many options to choose from, it’s hard to beat stair sprints through a forest or workouts under palm trees by the beach!
Check out what I’ve been up to and pretty much what an avaerage day looks like for us since moving to Noosa in this recent video I put on my YouTube Channel
Check out the video and let me know if you enjoy it.
Until next time 😉
