Nelly-In-Perth: my journey, my story
Welcome to Nelly-In-Perth, a reflection of my life's journey through the stunning landscapes of Western Australia. Here, you'll discover why the unhurried pace, vibrant energy, and breathtaking beauty of this state have captured my heart and fuel my passion for sharing its magic. From my unique perspective as an African Kiwi Australian, I invite you to explore, connect, and find inspiration beyond the ordinary.
My journey to western australia
The rhythm of Western Australia has been a profound motivator for me. Here, life moves slower, people aren't in a rush, and there's a precious gift of time. The unique energy within different pockets of this state makes every journey more perfect. My personal perspective as an African Kiwi Australian, having lived and travelled across most Australian states, deeply shapes my explorations. This path is also intertwined with my mental health journey, finding clarity and peace on long drives, and a hunger to live a life closer to my Zimbabwean birth country, embracing cherished childhood memories within this beautiful land. Despite the challenging heatwaves, I'm constantly seeking to find my long-term home here.
Connecting souls through discovery
When you delve into my adventures, I hope you feel spiritually connected, lifted, and motivated to step outside your comfort zones. I want to challenge the notion that life needs to be perfect on picture only – instead, I ask, "Is your soul nourished?" My aim is for Africans to find a sense of home and discover nostalgic magic, for Kiwis to see the distinct beauty of Australia and connect with communities, and for fellow Aussies to relate to places while showcasing their own communities. I'm eager to learn from and embrace the Aboriginal community, and to share safe and beautiful travel insights for European travellers, backpackers, and campers exploring WA.
Who is nelly-in-perth for?
Nelly-In-Perth is for the explorer, the wonderer, the learner, the everyday person, the traveller, the backpacker, the camper, the foodie, the wine lover, the grazer, the social media influencer, the mental health community, the spiritually conscious, those on a healing journey, the outside-the-box thinker – truly, my soul tribe. If you're seeking authentic connection, inspiration, and a fresh perspective on Western Australia, you've found your community here. My approach to exploring Western Australia is a bit special because it's rooted in my ongoing journey as a 32-year-old female, healing from generational traumas, relieving societal pressures, living with mental illness, and nurturing my inner child. Born African from Zimbabwe, raised a Kiwi, and now becoming an adult as an Australian, my diverse background shapes every adventure.
