Perhaps this will be the start of the book I’ll be writing 😁

If you are a traveler, what is one thing you’ve learned on your trips? If you’re not a traveler, what’s a travel question you have?

🇦🇶I’m Claudeen, I’m 34 and earlier this month, I stepped on my 7th continent!!🐧

This is my number one travel destination and a dream of mine since I was a kid.

No I’m not rich. Yes I come from humble beginnings. It’s been a huge privilege to be able to make this dream of mine happen. I’m so grateful and I still can’t believe I was here!!

I post this to reiterate that you are not your past, and if you want something enough, you too can make your dreams come true✨

Are y’all ready for more posts from here?😁

This is a reminder to look up from your phone to be present in the moment!

I’ve been buried with work and driving that I only recently noticed the leaves on trees changing and that it’s getting colder… so much so that I finally put my electric blanket on my bed last week!

I miss summer and the warmth☀️ I look forward to my warm weather travels.

Are you escaping someplace warmer this winter, and if so WHERE?

TGIF. Time for rest.

I was at this spot last month. Little did I know I was going to drive past this again a couple more times while driving around for work 😆 I can say that this spot is a great one to see a great view of the city and watch the skies change at sunset!

Do you recognize this famous landmark?

🌊I’ve always been in love with Big Sur, and it’s one of my favorite places. A huge statement, even for me.

✨“Magical” would be one word to describe it. On my very first visit the colors of the dramatic coastline wooed me. I was awestruck and couldn’t look away. My phone was filled with endless photos and videos of it. But most of my trips here have been overnight 1-2 night backpacking trips- a huge bucket list item for the adventurous. An item I’ve happily checked off multiple times off my list!

🥾Very rarely do I do day trips, but on this visit I did a few short and easy hikes. Trails I’ve never done. I also realized I haven’t visited here in the last two years.

It’s been awhile, old friend.

For the prospective visitor- there is more to it than the Bixby Creek Bridge.

What do you want to know about Big Sur?

(I’d love to write more info on a blog post or two!)

*Always trying to figure out how to extend my trips 😇 *

Depending on the airline, if you’ve booked a flight with points and miles, it makes it easier to modify your flights (with US-based airlines, domestic trips). Say you have to cancel a round trip flight on Southwest… your miles and taxes are 100% refunded. Same for Alaska Air and United.

It’s nice to have options!

What was your last experience with modifying a flight?
(NOTE: This isn’t the same with International flights. Though I will say a previous client extended her trip to Costa Rica for a day or two and she did not have to pay a cent… but this is a rarity, and not the norm.)

I’m back!

I put a poll out last week about sharing travel and wellness content. I’m always going to share travel, but unsure about the wellness piece. What I got out of that is… share it in small doses?

I’ll continue to post 2-3 times a week. (It’s fun for me, really.) Posts on IG are fun/random highlights though. Personally I’m going to focus more on blogging expanded travel info since IG isn’t quite the right platform to search for information in general. Sometimes I wish Ctrl + F was an option on my IG posts!

How are you, and tell me something new in your life!

I’ll have a travel/wellness post out soon ☺️

How to live better: Ask yourself this. Are things or situations in alignment to your authentic self?

Life lately: Deep reflections, planning, reading and *trying* to get outside.

As we head into spring it’s time to edit and refresh. What do you need to work on?

Wrapping up skiing (more posts to come!) from my last visit to another ski park.

1. With my season pass from another ski park, I only paid $25 for admission at this one.

2. First chair lift, easy peasy run

3-4. Those are trees frozen with snow. They look like whipped cream to me 😆

5-6. The famous bowl. (Looks amazing, and scary!!)

7. Another shot of one of the whip cream trees, and a soccer ball ⚽️

8. I think this was taken on my first run, and this was when I realized my legs were sore! (This is the most I’ve ever skied in a season💪🏽)

This ski park was probably the smallest out of the three I visited this year. All the runs here were Blues 🟦 or Black ◆ with the exception of only ONE green😮‍💨 It wasn’t a beginner spot for sure. And the quality of the snow? Meh… most of the runs were ICYYY🥶 I much prefer more powder.

My last takeaway from this is that not all ski parks have equivalent level runs. Ex. A blue might be graded a green at another ski park.

How To Live Better: Make Connections!

I don’t care if you’re coupled and you’re each other’s worlds… have conversations with strangers. With anyone. (I do know that speaking to someone out of the blue on the street is a somewhat western practice.)

I love it when conversations with strangers get deep and enlightening.

She shared things with me that I already knew but it didn’t matter because I knew that I needed those reminders.

When was the last time you had a deep conversation with a stranger?

How to live better: Get help when you need it.

Grieving is hard. There are months I feel good and some months, I don’t. I joined a gym the other day (who am I… I prefer exercise outdoors. Oh but it’s winter and it’s cold and rainy outside) and in the middle of being on a treadmill, it hit me hard like a truck. My body deemed it was time for emotional release. I sobbed.

My sister’s death anniversary was back in November but I couldn’t cry. Too many things going on.

This year, I’m striving to take all the time I need. I hope you give yourself grace and do the same.

Rainy day in our pop up camper… At lake Arenal. We realized this is not where you want a pop up tent😅 it is cloudy and rains quite often here, even in dry season (mid-December was just the start of it). None of the guidebooks say this… but also I don’t get the impression that many visitors to Costa Rica choose to drive themselves.

It was definitely an experience. We didn’t sleep that well the night before because the wind was howling and there was a heavy downpour 🌧️

We struggled to turn on the stove the next morning because it was so windy and we were wet from the never ending rain. Before we got the stove to work, I had already thrown in the towel and wanted to just go find a coffeeshop for breakfast instead.

At the end the stove did work, and a rainbow appeared over us. Everything was going to be fine!

Have you tried out a pop-up tent?

For 2023 I wanted to go to one travel conference- to put myself out there, to network and make friends.

You’d never know it, but growing up I was a shy kid. I never said hi first, and hated public speaking well into my mid-twenties, even with taking a public speaking course in college… I have come such a long way (I’m also getting older and wiser so I don’t care as much about what people think🤣) and now I even give presentations for my university role.

Shout out to my ever-supporting friend whose response was “Do Ittt” when I told what I wanted to do. And my other friend who texted me that I traveled so far for a short trip that I might as well go to a happy hour event (I was feeling lots of imposter syndrome and almost didn’t go). You know who y’all are💕

I ended up going to two conferences! This photo post doesn’t include everyone. There are also people I’ve met on tours or chatted with on IG live! Thankful for these connections I’ve made this year, in the name of TRAVEL✈️ including meeting Samantha Brown😍

I love meeting people IRL. Who wants to meet up?

(PS Anyone interested in more IG lives and webinars for 2024?

I was really just transitioning through this place since this wasn’t going to be the highlight of the trip. I thought about taking off my clothes and jumping in the ocean in my underwear… I mean, swimsuits are literally the same as underwear 😆 Am I right, or wrong??...#cancun #mexico #2024travel #tropicaldestination #beachlife #lifesabeach #tropicaldestinations #quintanaroo #quintanaroomexico

I’m gatekeeping this one… at least for now! This has been on my list ever since I first flew into Cancun years ago. And no, it’s not Tulum!Where would you rather be today?...#nottulum #mexico #mexicotravels #mexicotravels #beachlife #beachdestination #clearwater #whitesandbeach #travels2024

🌿How To Live Better: Dedicate time to doing things you love and interest you. For me (and in this post specifically), it is exploring nature and seeing wildlife.Aside from wanting to become a second grade teacher, I always thought I’d become a biologist… I didn’t become either but spending time outdoors, endless watching of Animal Planet and National Geographic as a kid has influenced me to have a profound passion and admiration for animals, wildlife and the outdoors today. What a beautiful earth we live on 🤩Some wildlife from this reel:➡️ Iguanas - they loved climbing up high in the trees and basking in the sun. They would jump off the trees when they realized humans were coming. Shy lizards.➡️ Anhinga - saw many of these birds; they loved sunning too. Saw so many birds in general (remind me I need to look them up)!➡️ Turtle 🐢 ➡️ Jesus lizards - saw some run on water a few times! I thought I captured them on camera but can’t find the footage ➡️ Spider monkeys - they’ve got long limbs! It was fascinating watching them swing from branch to branch.➡️ Howler monkeys - We’d hear them howl in the trees and sometimes they’d sound like dogs howling.BTW Did you see the crocodile 🐊??Follow @claudeenonthego and check out my stories for more on Tortuguero!...#tortuguero #tortugueronationalpark #costarica #wildlife #outdoors #getoutsideandplay #getoutside #vacation

❓There are no secrets with checking in early at mom and pop accommodations… it just depends on availability and if they’ve cleaned the room already. For hotel chains, it’s either you pay extra or get to check in early because of availability or status.I got lucky since it was about 8am when I tried checking in- hours before ACTUAL check in time. The extra space was useful for our inflatable stand up paddle board. Have you been successful at checking in early? #costarica #puravida #Tortuguero #centralamerica

🍃Looking for some relaxation?Check out this hot spring resort where we went to at sunset and enjoyed their 25 pools of varying temperatures! #costarica #lafortunacostarica #hotsprings #hotspringsresort #rainydayactivity

I haven’t been to a natural hot spring in a while so I’m glad to have come across this! This was a good way to relax😌BENEFITS:1) Boost your blood circulation 2) Help reduce body pain and aches 3) Declogging of pores4) Reduced stressed levels5) (in this case) fresh air since you’re outside with nature #costarica #centralamerica #lafortuna #naturalhotsprings #hotsprings #travels #latinamerica #puravida #adventure #outdoors #getoutside
