I stopped halfway to 360...


I think it's funny when people are describing how much something changed and they'll accidentally say that he/she/it 'did a total 360.' As for me, I stopped halfway. Isn't it appropriate that I was halfway around the world at the time?

The SuperStroll took me back to memories of Australia, and how I credit the country for totally changing my entire life. (Cheers, mate!) Basically, the experiences I had there 6 years ago shifted my perspective, and my life was forever changed.

I have to laugh when I think back to my return to the states after studying abroad down under for 6 months. "Hey, so I'm not going to pursue advertising anymore, I am a vegan and at the end of this semester I am moving back to Australia, what's new with you?" That was my 180.

Since then, I have had varying degrees of transformation, but none as drastic as the Oz shift 6 years ago. I will likely recount some tales along the way through this blog, but tonight I just wanted to set the base and thank the Aussies for being the catalyst of growth in my life.
