A glimpse into my neighborhood in Le Panier, Marseille, France. šŸ‡«šŸ‡·

It is chillier than what I have been accustomed to of late, but I am kind of enjoying the cooler air and rainā€¦There is a seriously cozy vibe happening and I am here for it!

So so so happy that I made this move! ā¤ļøšŸ‡«šŸ‡·ā¤ļø

Ode to my girlā€¦.

I never did a big post about her passing because it just hurt too much and I didnā€™t want to believe it was real. She passed away three and half years ago, but a day doesnā€™t go by when I donā€™t think about her. I had a dream about her last night and knew that today was the day to get the ink for herā€¦

Thanks for doing such a beautiful job.

Dear Costa Rica,

Nearly three months ago, I arrived here - at a yoga retreat tucked away between your jungle and your ocean, unsure of what I would find but open to the journey. I envisioned days filled with work, meditation, journaling, teaching yoga, and writing for the resort. And while all of those things did happen, what unfolded was something far greater than I ever could have imaginedā€¦.

I know some of you might not believe me, but I promise youā€”itā€™s true. You donā€™t need a lot of money to travel.

Some moments leave you speechless, like this sunset in Costa Rica. šŸ‡ØšŸ‡·

Iā€™m actually on the sunrise side of the peninsula right now, but I managed to get some pick clouds and pink reflections off the beautifully turquoise water tonight. This picture doesnā€™t do it justice at all.

So grateful for the beauty this world holds.

When I first started traveling, I was terrified I wouldnā€™t be able to communicate.

Let me save you some stress: donā€™t waste your energy worrying about this. After many years of travel across Asia, Central America, South America, Mexico, and Europe, I can say with 100% certainty: Youā€™ll be fine.

Hereā€™s what I didnā€™t realize before I started: English is the international language. As Americans, weā€™re incredibly lucky itā€™s our native tongue. While Iā€™ve met travelers from all overā€”The Netherlands, France, Germany, Italy, China, Korea, Thailand, Costa Rica, Mexico, and more ā€”they often speak multiple languages, and English is simply expected. Tours, hospitality, and transportation hubs almost always operate in English. Youā€™ll be amazed by how widely spoken it is.

That said, learning a little of the local language goes a long way. A simple ā€œHelloā€ and ā€œThank youā€ show respect and interest in the culture and make a big difference. People appreciate the effort, even if itā€™s small.

There are a few places where English isnā€™t as commonā€”Korea and Taiwan were challenging for meā€”but tools like Google Translate are lifesavers. Pro Tip: Make sure you have data or Wi-Fi since it doesnā€™t work offline when you need it most.

So, donā€™t let fear of a language barrier hold you back. If you know English, youā€™re already set. Go explore!

I began journaling not long after I started traveling.

At first, I understood the general benefits of journaling, but I had no idea how deeply transformative it could be. Thereā€™s something powerful about putting pen to paperā€”or in my case, fingers to keyboard. As you write, youā€™ll start noticing shifts in how you see the world, how you think, and what truly defines you.

The results might not be immediateā€”consistency is everythingā€”but over time, youā€™ll gain clarity about yourself, your values, and what really matters in your life.

So, hereā€™s my challenge to you: dust off that journal tucked away in your nightstand, or open a fresh document, and take the first step toward self-discovery. Remember, your journal is yoursā€”a space free from judgment. Be honest, raw, and unfiltered. Let your thoughts flow, and you might be surprised by what surfaces.

Today, Iā€™m grateful for:

1). The courage to explore.
2). The kindness of strangers.
3). Every breathtaking sunset Iā€™ve been lucky enough to witness.

Year #2 of this crazy journey has come to an end. I still canā€™t believe that it is real. It feels like it has been 5 minutes and a lifetime all at once. And I feel the same and completely different in the same breath. 24 months ago, my life changed on a dime. I often think back to that day in my living roomā€¦...

Let me preface this post by saying that I have been to an orthopedic surgeon in the Phillipines, a dentist in India, and a hospital in Mexico. I am still alive and the services were excellent and affordable.

Travel Fear #3: Fear of Illness.

Of course, this is a valid concern. No one wants to get sick while they are traveling. Being sick while traveling is the worst. I know because I just had Dengue Fever in Mexico. But staying home because of this fear is just irrational. Are you going to hide out and never leave your house because you are afraid to get sick at home? Probably not, so why let this irrational fear stop you from traveling?

Here are some things to consider to put your mind at ease:

1. There are doctors in other countries. Yep! No kidding! All kinds of them. Especially in big cities. But even in the smallest towns you should be able to at least find a clinic. And donā€™t believe the hype that these doctors are any less educated than those in our home countries. They have been to medical school and they know what they are doing.

2. Pharmacies are everywhere and you can often get the drugs you need without a prescriptionā€¦not everywhere, but sometimes.

3. If paying for these services is a fear, we will cover that in another chapter, but rest assured that most of the services you may require will be cheaper than what you will likely pay in your home country, especially America. Itā€™s just a fact.

4. Travel insurance is key. Just in case something goes wrong you need to be covered. You wouldnā€™t drive around without car insurance; donā€™t travel without travel insurance. This is your security blanket, and it will cover you in the worst situations. Just make sure you do your research and find the policy that is best for you. I use and I love it.

5. Carry a first aid kit with you. Every time I take a hike or do any adventure tours, this comes with me. It has come in handy many timesā€¦.

The most important thing to remember is that even if something goes wrong, you will be taken care of. People get sick worldwide. Everyone needs medical care at some point so you will definitely be able to find it.

Settling Into Costa Rica: A New Chapter of My Journey

Itā€™s been a little while since my last post, and honestly, Iā€™m not quite sure where to begin. Living in Costa Rica has brought unexpected challenges and incredible opportunities for growth and self-healing. As usual, my transformational travel journey continues to surprise and inspire me.

The struggle has been real lately, and I suppose I should have expected that....
