Who's with me? 😳🐍 Living the Pura Vida in C

Who's with me? 😳🐍

Living the Pura Vida in Costa Rica, where every day is an adventure...and a potential snake encounter! Yes, I've only seen a few in all the time I've spent here, but I know they are out there...

It's like a never-ending game of 'Watch Out For The Potential Snake' that keeps my heart racing faster than a toucan on caffeine! But hey, if there's one thing that'll make my heart skip a beat (besides @siyazarrabi ), it's the mere thought of a slithery surprise!

So, here's to embracing paradise while simultaneously developing an Olympic-level snake-avoidance technique. Just call me the 'Fearful Fearless Expat'! In other words, I pray each day that they will stay far far away from me.

I finally got the treehouse I've always wanted! 🌳🛖

My inner child is very happy right now...

This beautiful double treehouse is finally finished and lives in our eco-community as a shared space. I'm so excited to take a book up here or a sketch pad and just chill out and enjoy the company of these incredible trees.

Who else wanted a treehouse as a kid? 🙋🙋🏽‍♀️

You NEED a Solo Trip to Amelia Island [SAVE & SHARE] 🌴

Going on a solo trip as a parent allows you to escape from the chaos of everyday life, recharge your batteries and reconnect with your inner self. It’s the BEST act of self-care you can give to yourself. Whether you want to explore a new city, relax on a beach or indulge in a new hobby or interest, the possibilities are really endless. The best part? You can do it all on your own terms, without worrying about anyone else’s preferences or needing to take a group vote. It’s all about YOU baby! Which can seem a little too good to be true as a parent, when you’re constantly giving yourself and taking care of other humans on the daily. But, now it’s time to prioritize yourself and go on a me-cation because you deserve it. Trust me on this, when you take time for yourself, it benefits not only you but your whole family. It allows your to relax and reset, and that makes you a better parent and partner.

This is a BIG fear when it comes to solo travel...

This is a BIG fear when it comes to solo travel...😬

Dining alone.

Throughout the years, I've had many people tell me the thing that scares them about traveling alone is going to a restaurant and asking for a table for one. This fear makes them choose take-out or cook their food back at their guest house instead.

I'm here to tell you to feel the fear and do it anyways!

Dining solo can seem like an intimidating experience if you’ve never tried it. But, I cannot recommend it enough! It allows you to fully immerse yourself in the dining experience without any distractions or interruptions from others. You can savor each bite of your meal and really take in the flavors and textures of the food. You can just relax without the pressure of socializing or entertaining someone else.

Another benefit of dining solo is the sense of independence and self-reliance it can provide. You don’t need to rely on anyone else’s schedule or preferences, and you can make your own decisions about where and when to eat. It’s gives you a great opportunity to try new restaurants and type of cuisine without having to worry about pleasing anyone else’s palate.

I just spent 4 days on Amelia Island in Florida on a solo trip. One night, I dressed up and went for a solo dinner at the @ritzcarltonameliaisland where I spent 2 hours indulging in a 5-course meal. It was glorious! If you want to be inspired to plan your own solo trip, go check out my latest video and see what else I got up to on my me-cation. I guarantee that before the video ends, you'll already be planning your next (or first) solo trip. Link in bio!
