  • How in the world has it been 2 months already since I moved to Ubud? I have no idea where the heck the time has gone - oh yeah, exploring around town (aka working)!⠀ ⠀ I just published a new post on top things to do in and around my new ‘hood so check it out if you are thinking about heading to Bali and need itinerary ideas 🗻🏝🗺⠀ ⠀ Link in bio ✨ ⠀ #balilove #baliadventure #baliliving #baliindonesia #travelbali #balilife #travelingbali #ilovebali #baliexplore #baliparadise #visitbali #thisisindonesia #lifeofadventures #wanderful #viewslikethis #adventuregirls #indonesiaparadise #wheretofindme #thisisbali #waterfallsfordays #allaboutadventures #adventurers #adventuress #northbali #exploresolo #outdooradventure #solotravels #girltravel #exploringasia #southeastasiatrip
  • 10 years ago, I experienced my very first Balinese massage at @mayaubud and my life was never the same 😍 I returned to this spectacular resort for my anniversary spa treatment and everything was as stunning, serene and impeccable as I had remembered 🌳🛁🌼⠀ ⠀ If you are ever in Ubud area, treat yourself to a #flowerbath at @spaatmayaubud ❤️⠀ I mean, just look at this view! Need I say more? ☺️⠀
  • Even though I am a water baby 💦 and can happily spend all my days on a beach, I recently moved inland on Bali and am surprised by how comforted I am by the surrounding greenery 🌱🌿🌾⠀ ⠀ I am not, however, loving all the mosquitos that come with a life in the #ricefields 😅⠀ ⠀ Last night I woke up at 1am to 6 mosquito bites! Time to bust out the good ol’ coils! ⠀ ⠀ #wonderfulindonesia #beautifulindonesia #travelindonesia #instatravelgram #instatraveler #instatravels #indonesiaparadise #travelinggram #travelbloggerlife #travelgirls #traveladdicted #islandsofadventure #tropicalparadise #paradiseisland #adventureanywhere #adventuregram #adventureinspired #livetheadventure #discoverbali #offthebeatenpath #offthebeatentrack #riceterraces #greenery🌿 #getlostwithme #adventuring #beautifulexplorers #natureloverforlife #natureinspired #ricefield
  • I want to say thank you to every single one of you who left me a message following my last post. ⠀ ⠀ Since the topic was so personal, I debated whether or not to share it on such a public forum - yet it was the one post where I received more love and support than any other photo. It only goes to show that vulnerability and humanity connects all of us at the core, not the pretty photos or fabricated captions. ⠀ ⠀ I am so humbled by all the thoughtful and kind messages - it meant so much ❤️⠀ ⠀ Since the breakup, I have been burying myself into work but today I decided to let myself have some fun and took my butt to the beach 🏝☀️⠀ ⠀ This is my #salttherapy 💦😊⠀
  • It has been a while since my last post, as I’ve been on a rollercoaster of ending a 5 year relationship, moving out of the only home I’ve known in Bali, and relocating to an entirely new community to start a new chapter. ⠀ ⠀ I’ve been so emotionally drained, not having any once of energy or desire to share a photo on IG or think of any captivating captions. ⠀ ⠀ So today I just share what’s real - that my heart is broken yet again, I’m feeling a bit lost and uncertain, but strangely there’s also a sense of excitement for a new future that I get to create. ⠀ ⠀ I don’t know where I’m headed but for now, I keep my head up and keep putting one foot forward at a time 👣⠀ ⠀
  • 6 years ago when I quit my job to start traveling full time, I could have never imagined the opportunities that have shown up in my path when I challenged my limiting beliefs and pushed my own boundaries. ⠀ ⠀ From becoming a scuba instructor, creating a travel website to being a guest on a podcast, I have fulfilled dreams that I didn’t even know I had. ⠀ In this recent conversation I had with Goal Traveler’s podcast 🎤, it was a great reminder of how I began my solo travel and the journey that has become of my life. ⠀ ⠀ I would love for you to give it a listen and let me know what you think ☺️⠀ Check out @goaltraveler Or @justgonetwork And click on their link in bio for the episode ✨
