Adventure is a mindset, it’s not a destination. And it begins right where you’re at…

27. Writer. Photographer. Life is a beautiful adventure of seeking God and knowing Him more. Winter is especially capturing my heart right now. I love wearing big furry-hooded coats and colorful mittens to play in the snow. Thankful for grace.
Travel like you
One thing about travel is, it’s hot. It looks good on Instagram, we see guys and gals with huge backpacks and greasy hair trekking across Asia. I’m going to let you in on something I’m still learning. Travel like you. Some girls go no-makeup, messy buns, cargo shorts, tank tops, Chacos. I would hate that,…
Comfort Zones
Comfort zones grow slowly – but when they’re big, you’re so free.And it’s so fun. And every step, one step at a time, can be exhilarating along the way… So I’m letting you in on my travel strategy here. When I first moved to Ecuador four years ago, I was terrified. I was nervous, feared for…
Don’t wear shorts in the mountains
After living 2 years in Quito, I could tell apart the other fair-skinned blondes who LIVE in the city and those who were VISITING the city. It was that easy. One of the biggest ones? Tourists wear shorts. If you’re going to the beach of Ecuador, wear shorts, flip flops, crazy hats, whatever. If you’re…

MadMex – walking on Naciones Unidos in CCNU mall before you hit the Stadium or Quicentro. I have eaten the veggies there countless…
How to eat out like a queen (on a tight budget)
I love eating out. I’ve always been that way. Everything about it. I love slowing down, laughing over an appetizer with friends, not having to cook, not having to clean. I like going out at night, getting dressed up, looking fine, seeing the night lights. I love the music that plays, being away from my…
From the Redwood Forest…
The Redwood Forest was magical. Too cliché? But really, if you have the chance I would highly recommend checking it out. It’s on my must-see-list-before-you-die. When me and my friend Treasure first got out of the car and saw what was common for us – a tree – but massively beyond what our minds had…
Travel tip 1: Know the color of your suitcases
I was standing in a foreign land, tall blonde in a crowded airport, bustling people beyond exhausted scrambling around after a long day. I looked GREAT (sarcasm noted) with my black plastic glasses, matted airplane hair and the comfiest clothes I could find in my closet. And they lost my luggage. I approached the counter;…
