Hi, I’m Karissa.
Solo Traveller, Dog Mum, Ocean Lover, Yogi & Founder of Meant for More.
After years of building a successful career in health and wellness, I very recently reached a point where I realised I needed something different.
Not necessarily a bigger life.
A life that felt more like mine.
So I packed up my caravan, hit the road with my dog Bentley and have started a journey. Seeking out beautiful places, new experiences and a little more freedom along the way.
What began as a change of scenery has become something much bigger.
This chapter is about exploring Australia, sharing genuinely useful information and discovering the places worth pulling off the highway for. From free camps and dog-friendly beaches to hidden swimming spots, road trips and the realities of travelling with a caravan. I want what I share here to help make your own adventures a little easier and hopefully inspire a few people along the way.
But underneath the travel is another story.
It’s about what happens when you give yourself permission to change direction. To question what you actually want. To take care of yourself differently. To rediscover the parts of yourself that may have become lost somewhere between responsibility, routine and simply getting on with life.
My background in wellness will always be a massive part of who I am, but my relationship with it is evolving too. Right now, wellness looks less like having everything perfectly together and more like fresh air, mindful movement, meaningful connection, slowing down, trying new things and creating a life that actually feels good to live.
And soon, those conversations will have a home of their own.
Meant for More, the podcast, is coming soon, a space for honest conversations, interesting people, valuable lessons and the stories that remind us there is always more to learn, experience and become.
For now, Bentley and I have a lot of Australia left to see.
I’m not entirely sure where this road leads yet. And I think that might be the best part.
Welcome. I’m so glad you’re here.
