How it began…

Meet Miss Meaningful

I’m Janine, aka Miss Meaningful. I live by the motto one devoted person can initiate change. Imagine what we could do if we united together!

I started blogging a decade ago to share meaningful stories from my travels. It’s been a fun way to meet many inspirational people who are making a meaningful difference.

As a learning designer, I have spent the last decade designing, developing and creating creative ‘experiential’ learning courses that engage and empower.

As a creative writer, I enjoyed my time as a columnist for 3000Melbourne Magazine (2013-2016) where I shared meaningful Melbourne stories to inspire readers to explore and shop local.

Thank you for visiting.

Wanderlust and Misadventures

I’m incredibly proud of this passion project, my memoir. One that started as a promise of wanderlust and ended after many misadventures …and lockdowns in Melbourne, Australia.

It takes a talented team to realise a publishing dream. I’m blessed to have found many incredible angels who not only helped me edit and finesse my story but also support me along the journey. I am so grateful.

My Charity Partner

STREETSMART

A portion of profits from book sales will go to StreetSmart. They are all about community engagement, raising funds and awareness for smaller grassroots homeless services in Australia. Plus, they support many of the UN SDG Goals. They are the perfect partner for me to explore many ways I can not only donate $ but also contribute to making a difference. Stay tuned for more!
