This blog keeps reinventing itself as my journey through life unfolds.
My name is Camille. I’m Australian and grew up on the banks of the Murray River on my family’s citrus and vine property. Having a constant thirst for new experiences, I’ve made travelling a priority in and around marketing and communications jobs in tourism, hospitality, economic development, tertiary education and local government.
I started studying Spanish in 2003 prior to an eleven month trip to South America where I discovered my passion for Latin America. On that first long trip I also decided that a career break every five years or so is required in order to shake out the cobwebs, travel and do crazy things while your body still lets you, like abseiling down waterfalls in caves.
The alittlecameo blog started with a stint in Los Angeles where I discovered I don’t have the passion I thought I did for the film industry. This led to a coast-to-coast solo roadtrip across the US with my green Volvo called Esmeralda. Seeking some spirituality, I made a stop in Sedona, Arizona where a psychic told me many things that have started to occur.
The roadtrip ended with a crash and a snap decision “I’m going to Colombia” which led to living in Colombia for 5 years. After seven months of living a very simple life in Santa Marta, I got a job in Bogota, where I acclimatised to the altitude and the mild climate and partaking in all the fun and diversions that life in that creative, vibrant city offers.
In fact Bogota is so creative that I even had the opportunity to become a published writer with a story in the anthology Was Gabo an Irishman?. My writing has also appeared in Cocktails with Miss Austen and Alone Together: Tales of Sisterhood and Solitude in Latin America.
I returned home in 2018, finished a Masters in International Business and have immersed myself in family and community. I discovered a new interest in astrology as a tool for self-understanding and personal growth. In 2024 I studied astrology and now read natal charts for others who are looking to understand themselves and live their purpose.
