  • I would much rather be practicing my daily handstands on a beach in 80 degree weather than in my studio apartment where I am confined due to negative windchills out my window🥶 That’s the price you pay in Chicago! And luckily I don’t have to wait too long for warmer weather - LAX bound Friday😎

  • I loved admiring all the wildlife of Costa Rica. Seeing animals in their natural habitat is one of my favorite things about travel. We saw a family of monkeys (my fav), vultures, scorpions, gorgeous butterflies, toucans, and this iguana who graced us with their presence on the yoga deck every morning. All the adorable puppy dogs running around get an honorable mention too!

  • I am so thankful for all of the traveling and experiences I had so far this year and will continue to have. I am grateful I have plenty of vacation days to explore on my own and for the trips to awesome destinations I take for work. I am most thankful for the Mediterranean Cruise journey I had with my mom in August. Such an amazing time! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving🦃
