Callie Aspesberger

My name is Carla but everyone calls me Callie. I live in South Africa but sometimes I pretend to be a bird. Or I create experiences where I feel free like one. Always flying around the globe to experience new things. See the world from my perspective and everyone love to hear my stories. I will start my story where my adventure side was awakened. After high school I decided to move from Johannesburg to Stellenbosch to persue in studying a BSc degree in human life science and psychology. Leaving behind all my friends and family, I expected to be nervous and lonely, but somehow I was excited for adventure and exploring new parts of myself in new parts of the world I havent seen. After enjoying the experience of being a student and deciding between eating 2 minute noodles or going for a wine tasting on a wine farm my sence of adventure only grew more fierce. Every change I got I made a plan to travel to different places (including Mozambique, Durban, North Cape, Nelspruit, Piet Retief and many more). I was attracted to travel to the places no one knew about. Like the saying: Don't follow in someone else's foot steps. Create your own way and leave footprints. Throughout this journey of discovering myself in new places, I realized that being a medical representative doesnt serve me anymore. So I embarked on my first journey over seas alone. Off to India it was to do my teacher training course in yoga. Finally I found my passion. The reason my heart beat fills the little empty space created for me on earth. Since then I have been to Thailand, back to India, The Netherlands and in different places in my home country to feel like a tourist while back home. I am on my way to the next adventure, which will be to Australia Sydney the end of January 2017. I have been granted a tourist visa, which means I have to exit Australia every 4 months. What better way to explore more hidden treasures here on earth. So I havent been to every country around the world, but it sure is on my bucket list. I would love to share my experiences as I discover more places in the world but also within myself.
