Julianna Barnaby - Soul searching in Central America.

Going full circle from travel writer to lawyer, six weeks in Central America and following her soul calling to return to travel writing.

About Julianna

Julianna is a travel blogger and creator of 'The Discoveries Of.' A travel writer who retrained as a lawyer and worked in London before going back to her original passion of travel writing.

Julianna took the six weeks to spend time travelling in Central America and did a road trip up the West Coast of the US, before returning home to the UK.

“Trying to be aware of my own feelings and my own thoughts a lot more rather than doing things automatically.”

— Julianna Barnaby

When coming home...

• Emotions Julianna faced - Hard, tough and difficult to face returning home from travel. Sharp contrast. Felt like there was not much control.
• What had changed - Didn't want to be a lawyer full time anymore...but what do I do?
• How Julianna supported herself - started writing again
• How did her mindset change - being conscious of what she was feeling
• 3 Lessons learned from travel and reverse culture shock

1. There is never a good time to do something. You need to make the time happen.
2. Be open to experainces
3. Some things are worth taking a gamble on.

• Advise to herself for returning home - I wish I had travelled sooner to figure out what I wanted to do.

“I wanted to write a travel website that I would want to read!”
