?✨Travel is opening up the windows to the deepest parts of your soul. Letting more good in.
My everyday life is spent staring at buildings in the concrete jungle of NYC. Noises of crazy people shouting out my window, honking cabs, loud sirens.. hustling, writing, recipe developing, meetings, calls, deadlines.
Haven't had a car in 7 years, I don't wear makeup most days, I write at my desk in a white tee + jeans, glasses on, high bun, for most of the day.
I walk everywhere. I schlep massive bags of groceries for all of my recipe development. I hand schlep loads of equipment, floral, wardrobe, food, props to each studio shoot.
I always say hi & smile to as many people as I can. You'd be surprised at how surprised people are to see a girl smile + wave at them in NYC.
At the end of each day, (Dad taught me this), I ask myself did I contribute my part, do I feel good about what I'm doing? Did I help others?
For the most part, the answer is yes, then keep going.
Travel can also help to keep an open mind to change. Those who are able to adapt to change, are able to succeed, no matter what life throws at you.
These travel images that I've taken in my last decade of seeing the world, I do not take for granted or for Instagram.
I take them because I don't have a family to come home to, my parents don't come visit me, (they punted me + sis as far and wide as they could).. I'm currently not dating, + I have a deep/profound love+ appreciation for travel, nature & the gifts of connecting to my spiritual side.
I'm making myself even better... I actually quite like working for myself + on myself, for I'm a better writer, friend, sister, daughter and lover when I am my best self. I choose this life of independence + I really don't give af what society thinks I "should be" doing.
Remember to bask in more nature, feel-good friends + appreciate your every day.
If you are lucky enough to see the world, live in each breathing moment. Appreciate what you have in your heart + cherish opening those windows to your soul + new cultures, new people.
Let something shitty in your life go today & allow more good in. Life is full of surprises & what you make it. ✨?ck
