about me
My Mission
The purpose of this blog is to discover tools to create an extraordinary daily life, to encourage and support you by gaining and sharing wisdom and insights through everything we learn from personal development and growth.
My Values
My most important values are learning, exploration, encouragement and support. I want this blog to reflect that by exploring different topics in personal development and productivity so we can improve and grow as a result.
Hi there – I’m Johild, I live in the Faroe Islands, and I’m so glad that you’re here!
For the past decade, I’ve intensely loved personal development and productivity, and now I want to share that love with you.
My journey began in 2015 when I started exploring topics like self-compassion and mindfulness. Over the next decade I also became interested in personality psychology, productivity, inner parenting, spirituality, minimalism, assertiveness skills, personal finance, astrology and stoicism.
So yes, it’s been quite a journey where I’ve learned a lot and grown a lot, and it’s been amazing – and now I want to take that journey with you.
But here’s the thing – I’m not a morning person. I’d love to be, but I’m a night owl. So why the name “We Travel at Dawn?” In my mind that’s pretty early to go traveling anywhere.
Well, when I was coming up with the name for this blog, I wanted it to include something to do with entering a new cycle, a new dawn, a fresh start and the notion of being a wandering explorer, exploring topics that will expand our horizons.
At the time, I was also watching the TV show “Once Upon a Time,” and I imagined the characters gathered at a bonfire the night before a big fight against an enemy, and I imagined them making plans and then one character getting up and saying “It’s settled then – we travel at dawn!”
Also, it’s making the decision that NOW we’re going to do something about our situation, we have a plan and we’ll tackle it first thing in the morning. That could sound like procrastination, but in the morning we’ll be prepared, well-rested and ready to take action – and it’ll be a fresh, new start.
So I’m really glad you decided to join me on this journey of broadening our horizons. *Are you tired of my traveling metaphors yet? teehee*
On this blog we’ll be exploring tools within personal development and productivity to help us create an extraordinary daily life. I am of the belief that all we have for sure is the present moment, and that it is in the present moment that we can create an incredible future for ourselves.
So grab your favourite snack and hot beverage and let’s get going!
