Jezerce, Croatia

Right now I’m sitting underneath a huge Coca-Cola umbrella as I’m typing, listening to the rain and getting goosebumps from the cooler air.  I’m slightly anxious about having my computer out, but as long as the wind doesn’t start blowing sideways, it will be safe *fingers crossed*.

About a week and a half has passed since I’ve landed in Croatia to sail the coast.  I couldn’t be happier to be off on my own and up in the mountains to see Plitvice National Park.  I’ve settled in a little village nearby called Jezerce.

One week until my next trip and I want to buy EVERYTHING!

So, I’m at the point of my pre-trip where I’m thinking of any and all last minute items I could purchase and be rush-delivered to my house before my departure date (July 2nd).

Is it only me that gets the urge to purchase brand-new everything – even though I already have almost everything I need?  I was proud of my non-consumerist attitude coming back from my last trip.  

EuroTrip 2015

I love the flexibility of not planning a trip – no worries of accommodations you’ve pre-booked, the opportunity to hop on a road-trip, switching your plans on a whim and landing five countries away.  Then subsequently laughing at yourself for being completely unprepared for the climate.  It’s spicy, romantic and mysterious.  The thought of unlimited possibilities is awe-inspiring.  It pumps adrenaline through my veins – and I’m just sitting here.  You have the whole world available to you – and you know it!

Oh Vegas, you definitely got me in rare form over the weekend

I spent all day Thursday getting rest in San Diego from all the excitement that occurred in Hawaii.  Friday afternoon my Aunt, Uncle, cousin and myself packed in the bimmer and took off for VEGAS!

Hawaii – Memories of a Lifetime

In a short five days I managed to take two road trips, successfully surf on my own, do two hikes, become “the other woman” (unknowingly), see sea turtles, make new friends, and meet up with old ones from Florida that just so happened to be there at the same time!

Fiji & Hawaii

A post from new friends!

Fiji Time

No Hurry No Worry

Fiji has been a short trip,  and one that I would have liked to extend.   In just one week I island-hopped to more than a handful of islands,  some which I probably won’t even remember the name of, and made wonderful memories with people around the globe.

Internet was sparse.  Stress was non-existent.  The locals were nothing short of wonderful.  And the fish? Well they’re friendly too!

Moce Fiji.  May God be with you until we meet again ♡

Love in the form of friendship

Sydney Airport

Right now there’s nothing going on at the Sydney airport.  I can see a total of five other people here with me.  But moments ago, it wasn’t like that. 

I witnessed fraternity style chanting of guys welcoming their mate home from who knows where.  Bum rushing him as he got close enough,

Australia, you got me hooked

My very first initial impression of Australia left me rather disappointed.  With a blank slate in my mind the last thing I thought I would think of was America.  It felt like I was back in the States!  Honestly that’s the last place I want anything to feel like. That’s why I left in the first place!

Living in a Mountain Villa – Adventure Spotlight

It’s been about TWO MONTHS since returning to Morocco!

Time literally stops here.  I’ve found myself living like a local rather than exploring as I usually do.  It’s a different change of pace.  My backpack has been unpacked and has remained that way.  I don’t even remember how heavy it feels anymore.  I’m not sure I can even pick it up!

I’ve settled myself in Tamraght, but did some pretty fun adventuring up the coast before that!  I was recently featured as the
