Hi Christina, welcome! We’d love to know a bit about you—and where in the world are you right now?
Kia Ora! I'm a creative who works on producing content, copy-writing, and campaigns for brands and businesses. I've just returned home to Byron Bay (Bangalow), Australia after a 3 month stint, travelling overseas with my beautiful family.
We adore your candid approach to family life and travel. Could you share some of the memorable highs and lows?
We are incredibly privileged to be able to live how we live and do what we do so I'm hesitant to share any lows but for sure there's a couple. Working together whilst parenting and on the road can definitely be tricky and we need to choose our moments to work so that our son doesn't suffer. New neighbourhoods, new playgrounds and different languages can be a little confusing to a 2.5 year old who's just trying to figure it out. But the highs are so much higher: seeing our son interact and learn from different people from different cultures is incredible. People say he won't remember these trips (and he probably won't), but I'm sure these adventures bring something positive to him in ways we can't even understand.
You've recently travelled through Europe and Bali! Any highlights from the journey or must-add spots for our European summer wishlist?
Cadaques is a town over the mountains along the Costa Brava in Spain. I don't want to tell you anything about it, just go.
Effortless, everyday wear is at the heart of SOPHIE. Do you have any tips for easy, stylish vacation dressing?
I think comfort equals confidence and is a huge part of feeling and looking effortless. If you love the piece you're wearing, and it feels good to move in; you're already there.
Lastly, what are your three travel essentials?
Pieces that can be layered and don't crinkle, comfy shoes, and a very good book.
