Paris….ooo la la…Paris!

Solo travel

In honor of my week long stint in Paris this week, I wanted to talk about another subject close to my heart— solo travel.

We are the rule

How many times have we heard a potential partner tell us what they want (or don’t want) but because we wanted another thing from them we thought we could change them and they would eventually want the same?

Dunking and bleaching

2017 was a big high for me. I got sober. I started long distance running.

Live big, love big

Do you ever feel like you have to stand still to find love? I sure did. It's part of the reason I put off traveling for so long. It felt very scary to leave and be nomadic when I wasn't already in a relationship. It is, of course, the irony of the Universe that the moment I went traveling, I found my partner and entered into a beautiful 7 month relationship. The thing I was fearful would prevent me from finding love is exactly how I found it!

Lessons learned while traveling

I have been back in the states for exactly one month and one day. This past month, I've gotten really quiet, gotten out in nature as much as possible so, I could integrate my trip as best I can. Last year I learned that giving myself space after transformative events is essential to my well being. If I don't give myself a pause to rest, reset and let all the new knowledge sink in after transformation then the changes get put on hold or on the back burner. Nothing is ever lost but, it just takes a whole heck of a lot longer to begin applying what was learned. So, I've allowed for the integrating.

Integrating

I have been home for three weeks and I cannot believe it! When I got home it felt...anticlimactic. The momentum of my trip came to a screeching halt and even though I had done/seen so much, it felt like I came home empty handed.

Australia

When I booked my ticket to Australia, it took all my self control to not tell Guy. We would talk everyday and he would ask about my plans after Bali.

India- Goa

We left the Ashram the day after Amma did. We were making our way to Goa and it was going to be a long bike ride. 750km long.

India- Kochi

India. The country that has been calling me for years. When I finally stepped off the plane and had answered her siren song, it felt like I was crossing an important threshold.
