ABOUT
A little about the girl behind Living Like A Free Bird.
Still curious, still figuring things out, and finding new meaning in freedom along the way.
HEY, I'M LETTI
An Australian, currently calling Portugal home.
I'm a lover of new places, meaningful conversations, beautiful landscapes and all the little moments that make life feel extraordinary.
I've always been curious about the world. Not just the places we can go, but the people we meet, the stories we hear and the different ways we choose to live.
For a long time, travel was how I understood freedom. The excitement of somewhere unfamiliar, the feeling of being completely present and the possibility of not knowing what comes next.
But somewhere along the way, I realised that freedom is about so much more than travelling.
THE STORY
it all started
with a little bird.
Back in 2013, I came across a little bracelet with a bird charm and the words Free Bird.
On its packaging was a quote that stayed with me:
“Birds are symbols of freedom, they awaken our souls and open our hearts.”
Something about those words just clicked.
That little bird became the inspiration behind Living Like A Free Bird, a name I first started sharing on Instagram all those years ago.
What began as a love of travel and adventure has slowly grown into something much more personal.
A reminder to stay curious, follow the things that make us feel alive and remember that freedom isn't always about where we go. Sometimes it's about how we choose to live.
A LITTLE PHILOSOPHY
freedom looks
different on everyone.
For some, freedom is a one-way ticket to somewhere new.
For others, it's building a home, finding the courage to change direction, spending time with the people they love or simply slowing down enough to enjoy the life they've created.
For me, it's a little bit of all of those things.
It's exploring somewhere unfamiliar, having conversations that change the way I see the world, being outdoors, appreciating the small moments and staying open to whatever life has to teach me.
And I think that's what makes freedom so beautiful.
There isn't one right way to experience it.
Living Like A Free Bird is about exploring what freedom means, in all its different forms.
I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE HERE
let's keep exploring together.
Whether you're here for travel inspiration, a story that makes you think or simply a little reminder to appreciate the life you're living, I hope you find something that stays with you.
Thanks for being part of this little corner of the world.
Here's to staying curious, embracing the unexpected and finding our own kind of freedom along the way.
