Hey all, my name is Brooke.
Oceans Away From Here (OAFH) came from an idea I had years ago to make a blog that could help fellow expats avoid the pitfalls of traveling (without actually having to endure them).
Whether it be travel bugs, missed flights, getting scammed, altitude sickness, losing my wallet, or getting flashed, I’ve been there.
No one said it was easy, but Gandhi (or someone?) said it would be worth it.
I desperately hope to provide you some peace of mind before, during and after your travels, regardless of the destination.
This site is a homage to my days abroad, and a travel diary to capture and reflect on the most joyous pleasures that appear when you choose to live…tremendously.
Until we meet again,
Brooke
