Behind Hello Said The Dawn

Hey! I’m Oceana, the writer behind Hello Said The Dawn. This blog is all about slow living, doing creative things just for the joy of it, exploring the magnificent world, and finding the adventure in everyday life.
I live in tropics of Northern Australia with my fiancé (a British escapee) and my son (a curious toddler). I drink too much coffee, own too much fabric, get the urge to paint at 2 in the morning, and wouldn’t change anything for the world.
