For the past 8 years, I’ve worked tirelessly at The Watch Village, and as any self-employed business owner will tell you, a business becomes more than just a job—it’s your life. I’ve poured my time, energy, finances, and resources into building The Watch Village into what it is today, and I’ve loved every moment of it.

​

When I started The Watch Village, I never imagined the business would grow to where it is now. Along the way, I’ve met amazing people, learned so much, and this journey has given me opportunities beyond anything I could have dreamed of. But now, it feels like the right time for me to take a step back, acknowledge what I’ve achieved, and take some time to rest and recharge.

 

For 8 years, I’ve been fully dedicated to this business 24/7, and as many of my close customers know, I love to travel—it’s my way of unwinding. Travelling has been a dream of mine for a long time, and right now it feels like the perfect moment to take that leap, enjoy life, and reclaim some of that time I’ve sacrificed.

 

I’ll be leaving business in the capable hands of trusted individuals I’ve built relationships with over the years.

​

Will I return to the business?

Possibly. But for now, I’m switching off and letting my travels guide me. I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it.

If you’d like to join me on my travels, feel free to subscribe to The Watch Village YouTube channel, as I’ll be transforming it into my personal travel channel and sharing videos of the places I explore.

To my friends and family, thank you for putting up with all the missed plans because "I’m too busy working." Your constant support, love, and understanding have meant the world to me, and I’m so grateful for you always being there when I needed a shoulder to lean on.

A special shout-out to my little team. To Aimee for bringing our wild blog and video ideas to life, and packing all of our orders oh so carefully. And to Jack, for sourcing all our incredible stock and for being there through both the highs and lows, often bearing the brunt of my more challenging days. Your unwavering support and encouragement, even in the toughest times, have meant the world to me.
