Vietnam photo drop 📸🇻🇳 Part 2 (because we just couldn’t resist 😍)

Traveling halfway across the world solo might feel like a big deal, but when you’re with inspiring women like this, it feels so easy. Suddenly, what seemed way too daunting becomes one of the best decisions you’ve ever made.

One minute we’re singing our hearts out at village karaoke, the next we’re floating in infinity pools, zipping through rice paddies on the back of a moped, rolling out yoga mats as the morning mist settles, or learning to forage alongside local farmers.

Measuring smiles, not miles 🤟😁⁠
⁠
It's not about how far or fast you go. It’s about how it feels to lace up, to be among women who get it, to feel the wind on your face and that spark of joy in your chest. It’s about taking the pressure off and just running for you.⁠
⁠
Time to reconnect—to the trails, and to yourself. No judgment, no finish lines to chase—just the kind of miles that make you smile 🥰 ⁠

✌️ Words to live by in Bhutan.⁠
⁠
There’s something transformative about traveling to a place so far from home—so different from the world we know. Bhutan feels like another universe entirely, where time seems to slow, and the beauty of the landscapes and the depth of the culture pull you into the present moment.⁠
⁠
But what makes a journey like this even more powerful is doing it alongside a group of supportive women. Suddenly, what once seemed distant or daunting feels possible. You laugh together, learn together, and discover parts of yourself you didn’t even know were there.⁠
⁠
It’s a reminder that no matter how far you go, with the right people by your side, the world feels just a little more like home.⁠
⁠
"Live as if you were to die tomorrow, learn as if you were to live forever."⁠
