Oh, Melbourne… how do I even begin to say goodbye? These past two days have been nothing short of magical. From strutting my flamingo flair on stage to soaking up all the amazing talks, stickers, and smiles, I’ve never felt more at home.

Tomorrow, I’ll take flight back to Chicago, but my heart? My heart stays right here with all of you. This isn’t the end—it’s just the start of another countdown until I return next year to do it all over again, bigger and better.

Keep the flamingo spirit alive, Melbourne—you’ve made me the happiest bird in the world. 🦩💖✨ #FlamingoFarewell #BSidesMelbourne #IllBeBack @bsidesmelbourne
