3 years ago, I launched at JFK airport on my way to Madrid! My 6-week solo backpacking trip that summer was the best time of my life. And it set in motion profound changes in my ability to joyfully navigate and experience the world – abroad and at home.

The experience taught me the importance of giving your full attention to the present moment. Without paying attention to what’s around us, we can’t possibly delight in foreign cultures, foods, and adventures. We can’t learn the essential lessons about ourselves that travel brings to us. And we won’t stumble on incredible sunsets, or meet our future romantic partners in hostels 🇫🇷 if we’re staring down at our phones.

So, for the three year anniversary of Chasing Joy Travel, I decided to write about the importance of mindfulness abroad. I want to share the practices that help me live in the moment and give all of my attention to the beauty around me when I’m trying to make every minute count. I’m certainly not perfect at it – but the things I’ve done to help me live in the moment have transformed my life.

Visit my linktr.ee in bio to read my latest blog post - 7 Ways to Stay Present On Your Next Trip. If you apply a few of my tips on your summer trip abroad, you’ll feel a deeper connection to the destinations you visit - and I bet, even your life back home will change for the better.

Thanks for being a part of this incredible journey so far! I’m so grateful to those who have liked, followed, shared, and encouraged me each step of the way. Keep chasing joy with me and let’s discover more of the amazing the world has to offer, together.

Xo,

The fourth and final stop on our tour of the Curious Delights of Belgium is the city of BRUGES - featuring the quirkiest food museum you’ll ever see and the picturesque canals of one-of-a-kind town. Visit my Instagram for a sneak peek at the singing Belgian Fries from the Frites Cabaret 😅

Brussels! I love the murals scattered across the historic center, and the countless parks and green spaces. The city streets were hung with papier mâché flowers for a celebration this summer. And even the steel Atomium has a rainbow light display inside one of its cupolas.

"Skål!” (That's "Cheers" in Swedish, pronounced like "Skull!") I've spent a quiet first two weeks in Sweden – working remotely – but when the sun is shining, I make a beeline to explore beautiful Skåne! My home base during this trip to Europe? Helsingborg, a coastal city with fewer than 200,000 locals. Helsingborg is small but mighty – it boasts incredible sunsets, plentiful outdoor spaces, and friendly people from all over Europe. Just an hour away by train is Malmö, the third-largest city in Sweden, home to art museums, cobble-stoned streets, and delicious eats. And then there's Lund, a university town that evokes a storybook village with a fabulous (and free) botanical garden. More recommendations to come from this beautiful country!
