Postcards from New Year’s Eve
Introducing a bit of time travel to you! After all, isn’t that what a postcard is — apiece of the past that’s made its way through time to your present?
Happy New Year from Tasmania!
I’ve neglected to share updates from the beginning of my move to Australia — although I don’t count Dec 2024 as such since I was only in Australia for two weeks (one of which I was in Tasmania) before flying out to Southeast Asia for yoga teacher training — and want to share postcards from New Year’s Eve, where I celebrated in my favorite place in the world: the mountains.
I’d booked a last minute trip to Tasmania to spend time with Kazu, his family, and Satori. I first met Kazu and Satori in Kazakhstan and we ended up crossing paths multiple times across multiple countries, becoming good friends along the way.

New Year’s Eve was magical. I hiked in Hartz Mountain National Park with good friends, watched the last sunset of 2024 from the top of Hartz Peak, and greeted 2025 surrounded by chosen family. Looking through these photos brought a smile to my face - how lucky I am to have forged lasting relationships with incredible people during my travels abroad. This was one of my favorite New Year’s - celebrating the turning of time, sending out the old and welcoming the new, in a way authentic to who I am and want to be, hopefully setting the tone for the year to come.
