My Travel Story

by: Yesenia Kirkland Start Date: Jul 30, 2024 - End Date: Jan 29, 2025
Hello! My name is Yesenia, a 29-year-old adventurer and dreamer living in Miami, Florida. My passion for traveling has taken me to some incredible places, and earlier this year, I funded my own five-month journey through Southeast Asia. It was an amazing experience, but I returned to Miami broke, yet filled with even more wanderlust and dreams.

I’m back working full-time at the same wonderful company that was happy to have me return. I’m grateful for my job and the stability it brings, but I’ve realized that Miami, the only home I’ve ever known, is not where I want to spend the rest of my life. I’ve outgrown this environment and crave new experiences and adventures.

That’s why I’ve set my sights on Australia! Moving to Australia has always been a dream of mine. I am deeply passionate about the ocean and diving, and the thought of exploring the Great Barrier Reef fills me with excitement. This move would allow me to fulfill a lifelong dream of living outside the States, experiencing new cultures, and embracing new opportunities.

I’m diligently saving up for my big move in January 2025, but with only six months to go, I could use a little help. In addition to my full-time job, I’m also doing Uber Eats on the side to help get me on my feet during the first few months in Australia while I find a new job and a place to stay. Plus, I’ll be bringing my beloved golden doodle, Charli, with me on this big move. Charli is my baby and I refuse to leave him behind. This adds to the expenses, but I can’t imagine starting this new chapter without him.

Any contribution, no matter how small, will bring me closer to making this dream a reality. Your support would mean the world to me and help me take this exciting leap towards a new life Down Under.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for considering supporting my journey. Let’s make this dream come true together!
