Recorded this little journal entry-type episode the night before I leave to travel southeast Asia with a one way ticket and no idea where exactly I'll be going or when exactly I will be coming back. I'm so excited for this new chapter of my life and will be keeping you guys updated and uploading podcast eps as much as I can while I'm traveling.

SO many people in my life were telling me I shouldn't go to Turkey or specifically Istanbul because it's 'not safe' but once again, they were wrong. Not only did I feel safe in Turkey but it was one of my absolute favorite countries I've ever been to, and I was genuinely just so happy for the entire time I was there. Istanbul is full of lifechanging experiences and just the richest history as well as the BEST food and the sweetest people. I'm forever grateful that I went exactly when I did and for everything that I learned about myself and the world overall while I was there.

Free Palestine. Go follow voices on the ground and keep talking about the genocide, keep pressuring the US and Israeli governments.

Morocco was the number one place I wanted to go for YEARS. it was the first country I ever intuitively wanted to travel to, I was 17 years old and had barely even travelled but it became my absolute goal to travel to Morocco someday. And last summer it finally became a reality. My time in Morocco confirmed what I already knew to be true, and I'm so excited to share my thoughts with you about one of my favorite countries I've ever been to. Make sure to go look at my tik tok and instagram to see the pics and videos I'm posting to go along with the episode so you can visualize what I mean :)

this one is for all the wellness girlies who are also adventure/budget backpacker girlies. I examine all the ways in which you can be both but also the ways in which wellness practices have to shift depending on the phase of your life that you're in. Through brain dumping in this episode, I examine my current wellness practices when I'm living in my apartment vs. when I'm out in the world traveling and how they both serve me in different ways.
