This was all set to publish automatically on Monday and I have no idea what happened. We were off frolicking in the Salt Flats of Bolivia. Hope you are having a great week!!

Sweating, swimming, sunshine and smiling…. boat ride, photography, jungle and waterfalls to end all waterfalls!  WOW I am still on a high…perhaps from the inconceivable amounts of water, or maybe it’s the rush of ticking off another Journey List item, OR it’s quite possibly as simple as being back out on the journey solo for the first time in over a month! My mind is racing and my camera still burning up from taking so many photos!  I began my Read more…

   ”Strip away the layers and reveal your soul. Give yourself up and then you become whole.” When you surrender to the possibility that there is more within you to share with the world, and you begin to peel back the layers of yourself, one at a time, you will find the person that lives at the core.  This is what the Journey is all about!   Peel back just one layer this week and find a new dimension of yourself!

Ahh the BUTTERFLIES, the warm and fuzzy feelings, the flirting, the sense of urgency, the nautiness, the speed at which things move, THE PASSION, the seduction, the heart set a flutter… We’ve all been there before, a travel romance, a holiday fling, call it what you like, but its fast and powerful. It sweeps in, melts your heart, makes you smile, and steals all your otherwise sensible reason. Deep down you both know that its temporary, so why not throw caution to Read more…

“A Perfect Day in South America” is my way of sharing some of my favourite moments in South America with all of you!  So often I find myself walking with a huge smile across my face and in a state of utter bliss enjoying “A Perfect Day.” These are usually the stories I write home about, spill to my best friends and it ends there. But why not share the love with everyone?! Typically I like to keep my personal Read more…

This morning I realized I had two choices, to continue as I had been in a sort of limbo rut, or I could change my mindset and bloody do something about it…SO I did it, I pulled myself out of the deep hole that i barely new I was in, dusted myself off, took a much needed shower with the works, made myself feel amazing and blasted myself with a serious shot of “HARDEN THE FUCK UP PRINCESS!”   And Read more…

  Goodbye Rio! I left Brazil bronzed and baffled, sunkissed and full of stories, slightly heart-broken , certainly more broke than ever before, about 100 caipirinhas too many, a beach-bum, an acai, coconut and euro shorts addict, I’ve embraced my afro, wear nothing but havaianas, can feel the samba music inside (dancing is still another story) and have one hell of a desire to remain in Rio as a wannabe Carioca forever!!   See, I am a Carioca…I even have the T-shirt!
