Getting Your Project Sponsored

February 21, 2019
So many comments coming in asking how to afford travel like this. One of the most important steps of making this goal of mine a reality, was to figure out how I’d be able to pay for it. Prior to this Expedition, I managed to stretch out the $2,000 I saved one summer from Lifeguarding to travel to roughly 25 countries over the span of about 2 years. Some great sites that helped me to be able to make that $2k last were: -helpx.net and workaway.info (work in exchange for accommodation and food) -couchsurfing.org (free accomodation) -statravel.com (cheap flights...

Social Media and Deception

December 29, 2018
“Appear weak when you are strong, and strong when you are weak.” ― Sun Tzu, The Art of War I’ve been wanting to write this post for awhile now. Since I first downloaded Instagram in 2011, I was engulfed with the thought of sharing tidbits of my life if only with myself, as back then, I didn’t have any followers. The creative person in me was excited at the thought of editing and writing thought-provoking captions. Flash forward several years when I was living in Calabasas, California, I fell into a dark place, which, little did I know would...

Linking Depression and Science

November 12, 2018
Google “Depression”, and you’ll find this: “A mental health disorder characterized by persistently depressed mood or loss of interest in activities, causing significant impairment in daily life.” Google “Cancer”, and you’ll find this: “A disease in which abnormal cells divide uncontrollably and destroy body tissue.” How about, “Mental Health Disorder”; “A wide range of conditions that affect mood, thinking, and behavior.” If Cancer has a cause, why doesn’t Depression? Better yet, why can’t we find answers to the cause when we try to educate ourselves about the mental illness that affects more than 3 million Americans every year? I became...

The only way to make sense out of change is to plu The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance. 💙
- Alan Wilson WattsIt’s crazy to believe that it’s been over a year now since the pandemic started and I think everyone had at least one thing they were/are frustrated about that they had to just deal with and adapt to. For me, while I actually enjoyed the break from travel and being alone in quarantine (introverts get it), I did actually experience a difficult adjustment with not being able to train properly or race. Back in January, I registered for the Alpha 70.3 (half Ironman distance) which I’ve raced on and off the past decade up in Napa. I was really excited to race this year seeing as it was the first race back since Bariloche, Argentina. But alas, it was postponed to October. The new time works better for me actually, considering my full is end of November. Considering that I wasn’t racing, I contemplated just not coming up here. We ended up coming up anyways though, and turning it into a little getaway filled with some much needed R&R, and of course, vino! It ended up being such a wonderful weekend in Sonoma at the @cottageinnspa 💙🤍

Took a little trip down south this past weekend to Took a little trip down south this past weekend to San Diego and stayed at the @ranchobernardoinn 💛. I definitely miss traveling and finding unique and inspiring hotels. Right now, I’m grateful for the opportunity able to travel locally and become inspired by places that exist in my own backyard. The Rancho Bernardo Inn is set on a whopping 265 acres of property, and boasts lovely little walkways, outdoor fireplaces, and a championship golf course 🏌🏼‍♀️. They take sanitization and social distancing seriously, which allowed for a safe and worry-free getaway. If you love nature like me, I highly recommend this spot in San Diego.  #retreattorbi

The world might seem like a big place, but to me, The world might seem like a big place, but to me, it’s small, it’s connected, and it’s similar in so many ways. 🌏I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve bumped into someone in a totally random place, who I met long ago during my travels. Or when people find my socials and are like “remember when we met in this place?”, and vice versa. Not to mention, humans are so alike, probably more than we’d like to acknowledge. The foundation of every animal is the same, and we all have the same basic needs and desires out of life. We’re different, but so much the same, and knowing that, made me feel connected and at home in just about every country that I traveled to in the world. No matter the cultural, religious or financial differences, I always felt at ease knowing I wasn’t really that different from anyone else. Everyone is just trying to survive. The Expedition humbled me, and also made me seek out the innocence, fragility, hope, and yearning that we all embody, in order to live the best lives we can. 🌿I think that once we can recognize, digest, and respect that reality, we can then open our minds to the people, spaces and places that deepen our understanding of this world, make us feel less inclined to judge others, and live a life of awe.And hi to everyone new here 👋🏼! What is the most powerful lesson you’ve learned from travel? 🗺
It felt so good to be back out on the slopes again It felt so good to be back out on the slopes again! First time in over a year, and it was so fun to try out a new ski area, @sierra_at_tahoe 💙. I’ve never skied at Tahoe but given the close proximity to LA, as well as all the safety measures they had in place, I’ll definitely be back. Such a stunning ski area 👏🏼!
Also wearing my new ski suit from @erin_snow, super warm and cozy with tons of pockets 😍❄️
I’m on a quest for Kona. Just kidding, but I am I’m on a quest for Kona. Just kidding, but I am #OnAQuest to PR my last full Ironman by a hopeful 3-4 hours, which seems insane, but I’m really aiming to put in the work this year to make it happen. I mean, choking on water and getting kicked in the face during a 2.4 mile swim, soaking in hot piss and saddle pain like no other during a 112 mile bike, and dragging your feet one step forward for a grueling 26.2 mile marathon all in one day?! #signmeup 🥲
Can’t believe I registered for another full Ironman. What is wrong with me?! It’s so taxing on the body and mind but for some reason I’m so addicted to the process of getting to the start line. And after the finish, to be able to have the best nights sleep after having accomplished a massive goal is honestly one of the best things in life 😍. I’m really looking forward to the little setbacks and successes along the way, and sharing it all with you guys... all over again. Here’s to Ironman Cozumel 2021! 🇲🇽🌯🍻
