Throwback Thursday - When life was different

in OCD3 years ago

A year ago today my life was completely different and I would never have dreamed that I would sit here a year later without knowing whether everything will ever be the same as it used to be.

We have been living a nomadic life for 5 years now and have stayed in the most beautiful places. I had never celebrated my birthday in October or Christmas and New Year at home in recent years, but this year everything is different.

Last year at the same time we were in Australia on the Gold Coast ...

... hiking with breathtaking views

Financially this whole Pandemic Thing wasn´t too bad, But what good does the money do for me if I can't spend it on the only sensible thing ... traveling.

So let´s cross fingers that this shitshow will be over next year and we can live a free life again. Although I strongly doubt that everything will be the way it used to be.

Where were you at this time last year? Show us a few pictures from that time and tell us what you miss

So sad... so true. This time last year, we just relocated to the Azores. Back then, we had no idea that in just a few months, some covid would imprison us in the apartment, preventing us from enjoying what we came for: the natural beauties of the islands...

I remember that you´ve been there. Unbelievable that this is already one year ago. Amazing photos. I guess you don´t want to go there again that quickly?!

@betterthanhome, In my opinion nowadays life became very slow and people are living their every moment in indepth ways. Stay blessed.

Thank you!

it has definitely slowed down life and I hope humanity has learned a little from it

Welcome and let's hope for the best.

Yes this year life it's really different for everyone

It is. Let´s hope for a good outcome next year.

Breathtaking views and awesome pics. I really regret not taking advantage of the working holiday visa there when I was younger. Now I'm too old to be eligible for that visa, so you have been my main source of awesome v OZ adventures. !tan !BEER

Thanks! Me too, I´ve never been there with a WHV. Everytime we´ve been there I was on a tourist visa, that is/was pretty easy to apply for and we always got granted. Guess this will change in the future.

Thanks for the Beer. ;)


Hey @betterthanhome, here is a little bit of BEER from @justinparke for you. Enjoy it!

Traveling is something that everyone should do, visit fantastic places full of magic.

But we can't all do it and it's sad.

But great for those who have the opportunity and do not give us the opportunity to see these magical places through their photographs or videos.

Thank you! That´s true and I´m sorry for these people. Everyone should be able to see a bit more of this world.

It is something that we all would like but not all of us are lucky.

This time last year i had just gotten back from California where i had spend a few months with my cousin and this month i had a holiday booked in Phuket , Thailand for 3 weeks but had to cancel out let's hope next year brings a better year for travel but i still doubt it won't kick till mid-year.

Glad you got to see the Gold Coast before the pandemic i am living not far there my home town is Byron Bay.

I always wanted to travel to down the west coast of the states. Great you´ve been there. I actually had flights for may for Phuket as well. I´m happy that I´ve been to Australia many times, I guess next year we´ve to skip it.

Yep i was lucky to spend about 6 months traveling the west coast of the states i was really looking forward to seeing more of Thailand i spend a month in Koh Samui which i absolutely loved well maybe see you in Phuket next year...lol 😊🙏
