BEA Wander

Beauty, Eat, Adventure & Wander

Welcome to Beawander

Hello, I Am Bea!

You might be wondering what Beawander means.

[bee-won-der]

noun

1. The documented wanderings of Bea. Mostly to let her family and friends back home know she’s still alive, but partly so she can remember herself.

Bea WanderThis is a place where I document and talk about: Beauty, Eat, Adventure & the Wandering life in general.

I write for myself.

So, if you agree with what I’ve written – that’s great! If you don’t, well…then, stop reading. 

It is always a dream to travel the world, have the flexibility to do what I want and savor ultimate freedom. 

And in 2018, I’ve decided to leave work and home to pursue my wild aspirations.

So how did I do it?

First, know your deepest why. 

I chased a different lifestyle. And I realized, the opportunities are endless.

I found something I’m passionate about and I went for it.

And if I can do it, so can you. 

Well, these are some of the things I’ve done so far:

  • Explored different countries in search of my new home
  • Started my spiritual journey
  • Dealt with a few heartbreaks
  • Crossed off items on my bucket list
  • Found my tribe
  • Deepened my practice of health & fitness
  • Encountered challenges of a transient lifestyle: uprooting, loneliness, uncertainty…etc.
  • Learned a ton about digital marketing, mindset, entrepreneurship & people, including myself

My motto is life is forever a work-in-progress, but perfect at that very moment.

I’m happy to share what I’ve learned so far through this blog with you. If you have any questions, comments or suggestions, leave a comment and I’ll get back to you.
