The first night that I arrived in Byron Bay I realized what was the real struggle to find a spot to stay overnight in your van. I then decided to cruise around and drove a bit out of town. When I finally feel comfortable to park my van it was already pitch black and I didn't really know were I was. I was telling to myself, wow thats gonna be challenging to find somewhere to sleep every night. When I woke up the next morning with this gold, warm and powerful sunrise through my windchill then stand up to realize that some waves were just in front waiting for me, I quickly know that it was all worth it!
After work session, Cotton tree, Maroochydore. /
Strawberries picking is a really painful job, especially for your back, but when you can have this kind of lifestyle and a surf break at 5 minutes walk of where you are staying it give you a lot of motivation to hold on to your work. The ocean is magic, it release all the mental and physic pain that you can have. In this massive swimming pool all your worries goes away and a big smile automatically show up in your face, I feel so grateful to have this playground surrounding me every day!
6:15 am, Childers, Queensland, Australia. /
Waking up at 5:30 in the morning to go fruits picking ain't an easy thing. Its dark, cold and my vision is still blurry. Grumpy is a good word to describe my state of mind at that time. After two Peanut butter toasts topped with bananas, my breakfast of choice, I can see a gleam of sunshine reflecting on the other side of the road. Putting the morning laziness away I decided to go grab my camera seeking for a good morning light shot, I founded it then framed it! Once I knew I had the picture I Tooked a good sun bath, enjoyed the last sip of my coffee and I was reenergize for the rest of the day, Gotta be grateful for these kind of moments!

D bah, Gold Coast, Australia. /
D bah is the first spot that I've been surfing in Australia. Most of the spot on the Gold Coast only offer right waves but there you are able to surf a left one which is good for goofy footed surfers. The view from point danger is pretty amazing and you can find some talented people in the water like the legendary Mick Fanning. For surfing or watching I will definitely recommended everyone who is traveling the Gold Coast to hit this spot!
It's for this kind of view that i quit my 9 to 5 Job /
I woke up this morning and went on the beach for some yoga and meditation then skate for 15 minutes and hike a little hill to be able to have this amazing view who is really breathtaking for me. When I find myself in such beautiful place like that I automatically remember why I quit my job and sell my stuff to go travel the world! Trust me it's worth it.
