Eating raw vegan in Belize

May 12, 2019February 9, 2018

One thing I want to start doing more is blogging on eating raw vegan in different parts of the world. The reason being, whenever I travel somewhere new I’m always doing a ton of research on how to eat healthy there, how I can access fruit, what kinds of restaurants I might be able to eat at, what areas are the most vegan-friendly, food safety conditions, and any other useful info that I might need to know. This takes a lot of time and often there is just no real info out there from raw vegan travelers. Vegan travelers, yes. But …

What’s it like to live and travel through Southeast Asia?

May 12, 2019July 24, 2017

I’ve been away from the blog for an embarrassingly long time. BUT! It’s because my whole life has changed this year. Literally. My last post on the blog left off right on the cusp of taking off on my dream trip around the world. Man… if I had only known how much my world was about to change. 2017 has seen me giving up my longterm home, moving, traveling, recuperating, readjusting. Designing a new life for myself that honestly looks so radically different from 2016 that attempting to comprehend it all still makes my head spin. Everything has changed. I spent …

Traveling through Freiburg & hiking the Black Forest

May 12, 2019May 3, 2016

To be honest, travel to Germany has never been big on my radar. I’m a Scandinavia girl, always have been and always will be. And more recently over the past few years I’ve become Southeast Asia-infatuated. But Germany? It’s always been a country that I’ve passed through en route to other destinations, never really devoting large chunks of time there. I did know about the Black Forest though. And my gosh, did I want to see the Black Forest. You may have heard of this enchanting German forest through the Brothers Grimm Fairy Tales, which is how I became familiar with …

Some thoughts on masculine/feminine energy + travel pics from Prague

May 12, 2019December 9, 2015

I’ve been hanging out in my masculine for too long. That’s the realisation I came to when traveling through Europe last week. All the telltale signs of being in the thick of it were there: short, shallow breaths, tension in my chest, in my throat, in my abdomen. Being ‘in the head’ and in my thoughts to the point where my intuition sadly took the backseat. I’ve been tossing around the idea of delving more into this “masculine/feminine energy” topic for a while now but have held back, in part because the scope is so huge. This is also a bit …

Exploring Bali

May 12, 2019September 23, 2015

What a long few weeks it’s been! I’ve recently returned from traveling in Bali and have taken a bit of a mini breather before coming back to the blog, to recoup, recharge and get settled back into my routines. And I’m excited to finally share some of my travel pics and experiences with you here! Scroll on, as I will be lacing tons of Bali photos throughout today’s post. Bali for me was one part captivating, two parts mind-boggling. Mostly due to all the surprising amounts of chaos. Coming from NYC, you’d think I would have seen and experienced it all. …

Notes from the Road: British Columbia + the Sunshine Coast

May 12, 2019July 29, 2015

British Columbia… where the trees have held and healed me, where the sunshine sent me daily hugs & kisses and the Pacific Ocean breezes lightened my spirit. I feel so connected to the land. Thank you lazy days spent soaking up fresh mountain air, sunlight, and so much green. Thank you bright blue, cheerful skies and cool ocean waters. Thank you endless trees, moss and lush vegetation. Thank you laid-back, Birkenstock-wearing, nature-centric folks who welcomed me into their lives. Thank you for days spent drifting through the forest like a fairy, stopping to savour or meditate or look up at the …
