One of our last trips as a family was to beautiful Maui. It was a spectacular trip the kids loved to travel. We made our stop in Cali to visit with Uncle Bob in Hollywood to break up the long flight Jumping off the roof into the pool probably the highlight for them.

My travels were on a cruise ship ,which I never thought I would do. But this was a wonderful experience for a 1st to Europe. Exploring daily these gorgeous places. Madrid, Barcelona, Rome, Florence, Capri, Through Tuscany and then the south of France which was Paris and Provence. Truly magical from start to finish. I didn't need the ship ,as night life is not the draw But the excursions were everything to me. I walked and walked and drowned myself in the beautiful architecture and culture~amongst magnificent food .

This cruise was so awesome , extremely comfortable to be by myself. The excursions were incredible. Oslo on the water. its low keyed wealth, contemporay homes with old world living , young families bicycling to work. So advanced environmentally. Belgium architecture, its church's are stunning, Holland with its windmills and those clogs, just as I envisioned but even better. Bremerhaven Germany so beautiful and its delicious beer . Was one of my favorites and would absolutely repeat again!
.

This was truly one of the best trips of my lifetime. England I truly had a heart felt connection, especially to family. Ireland also was beyond. When I traveled that country so freely, just flying by the seat of my pants in rental car for 2 weeks with not one reservation. Every spot was better than the one before. The people so genuine. When I returned home, I learned after doing my ancestry, that every where I stayed, my family resided. It is where they came from on my grandmothers side. It was the most amazing connection , I have ever felt on a trip. I long to return to my roots on all sides and explore my history !

This is worth the post.. Short lived before my move to Idahome. I needed to escape after the the burning down of my studio and the break down of family. My time spent living in NYC was amazing. The city still is my favorite place of all. Through my travels I feel most connected to this place . I will forever hold the UES in my heart ~for the experience was the best. I had to balance out that heightened energy with my move to Idaho ..the complete opposite . It was that time, while living in Idaho when covid hit and my actual blog began.

My love for Idaho is tremendous and so very missed. I had the most healing experience~ a lifetime of stuff that had been stuck. The time spent alone on my own, taking the biggest leap to heal out in that most beautiful place with its magnificent mountains .The best gift I could have given to myself. I am so incredibly grateful to my brother and Mariel for offering me their home ~ the opportunity I was afforded to create so many amazing connections . a beautiful new beginning. I got to renvent my life from scratch, yet AGAIN! But this time all alone and on my own. The people, the friendships, the yoga community, my surroundings, they still melt my heart with every thought. It was like nothing I could ever have imagined for myself.. that time lasted 3 + years. When covid hit, life changed yet again ... those memories will last me a lifetime ..pure GRATITUDE for every single moment I spent out west <3

The gorgeous stay in a thatch cottage in Wiltshire . My weekend with 2 pups~ so they could attend the wedding of their daughter was a great gig.. I loved that home and my stay. It ended with a delicious English meal of chicken and dumpling the night before I left to head out for a stay in Bath England and a long drive up to Scotland. I had an amazing venture and a train ride back from my castle visit ~ho how I loved Scotland. Such a fascinating history .. visiting friends in London after a 10 day exploration . Majestic to say the least~

My trip to GREECE wow . What a leap that was . I ventured with an invite to a friend from the past. I traveling by myself for the most part and went with 2 others . It was a beautiful time had . I loved Greece so incredibly stunning ..the water the culture the connection they have with family and holiday celebrations weekly . Church for all to hear on a Sunday morning. Was an experience unlike anything I ever had. LOVED LOVED LOVED it all

First off Levie love is the best.. She knows how to travel and makes it smooth and effortless. Just the way l like it. No pressure just ease. and adventure. We had a pup we were sitting with and enjoyed so much of Mallorca ..it was magical at best! . The food the sunsets, the trolly into town , sitting amongst the amazing people ,the walks along the water. the cobble stone streets and markets. Our last night dining in a 5 star restaurant gifted by Levie love ,was the best ending to great trip! We will travel again together for sure

My visit to Sweden with truly one of my BFF ever was the most generous gift o f a lifetime . Liza and I had so much fun together . We too travel very well . Our friendship is so incredible. She gifted this trip to me for the care of her pups. That is how we met several years back. I can't say enough about her or Sweden itself. The people, the lifestyle the beautify the simplicity of it all is something I could return to over and over again No matter how long the days are in sunlight and how short the are in darkness ...there is nothing like it . I loved my time spent learningits history visiting museums and its love of design is just as you see in the photo ...the swedes are not a fraud of color and color my world they have !

I actually flipped the photss on these 2 trips to Sweden ...Summmer is when I was with these loves. They are now married and residing here in Sweden happily away from the US of A. It is time most of us wish we were. Grateful to have had another beautiful time spent with this family abroad. I love it here so much ...The baltic for me is a definite return . I hope to catch the Northern Lights on a baltic adventure . My gratitude is beyond words for my exploration and the experience of it all <3

Remaining open for fall .. lets just see what will be
