I have some exciting news 🤗 I made the shortlist for Best Opinion Piece at the Traverse Creator Awards, and last night I booked a flight to attend the award ceremony in June! I’m feeling all the colorful, happy vibes today and could not think of a more fitting image. I hope you always twirl like no one is watching 💃💫 What’s one place you’re looking forward to visiting this summer? ✈️ . . . . . . . #oldsanjuan #oldsanjuanpuertorico #viejosanjuan #viejosanjuanpuertorico #enmiviejosanjuan #discoverpuertorico #thisispuertorico #puertoricoblogger #puertoricoholic #puertorico_greatshots #puertoricotrip #puertoricopics #colorfulplaces #darlingtravels #travelincolor #travelcolorfully #darlingescape #puertoricogram #isladelencanto #borinquen #borinquengallery #visitpuertorico #travelpuertorico #puertoricotravel #explorepuertorico #mypuertorico #damestravel #femmetravels #femmetraveler #girlsdreamtravel

Fill your life with moments, not things 💕 How picture perfect is this scene from the pink lakes in Puerto Rico? 😍🇵🇷 As I head back to New York, I cant help but marvel at how much I discovered in just two short weeks on the island. From secluded beaches to the (second) longest zipline in the world, it was a nonstop adventure! Have I convinced you to visit yet?? 😉 . . . . . . . . #puertorico_greatshots #puertoricoisladelencanto #girlslovetotravel #damestravel #latinaslovetravel #travelpuertorico #puertoricotravel #puertoricotourism #visitpuertorico #carribeantravel #caribbeantrip #puertoricotrip #travelwriters #girlswhotravelsolo #girlslovetravel #adventuregirls #girlsadventure #tripgirl #girlstraveltale #girlsborntotravel #pinklakes #worldtravelparadise #worldtraveler #travelgirlscollective #puertoricanpride #ilovepuertorico #travelfemme #femmetraveller #sidewalkerdaily #heavenonearth

Confession: I am the world’s worse digital nomad 🙈 It’s coming up on one year since I quit my job to travel and write full-time and I have some big decisions to make. It looks glamorous from afar, but the truth is: 1) I never stop working. Ever. Even when I’m on “vacation,” I feel guilty if I’m not writing notes or taking photos for future blog posts. 2) Dating is even harder now. Men like the fact that there’s an end date in sight, and I’ve isolated myself because I don’t like to feel devalued. I’m a prize dammit! 😤 3) I miss having a routine. I miss weekly trivia nights and going to happy hours and celebrating milestones with friends. 4) I miss the sense of purpose that came with being a lawyer. I liked being important 💼 5) It seems like a small thing, but when you live out of a suitcase your clothes are always wrinkled. And you’re lucky if they’re clean 🤪 So now I’m at a fork in the road. And the problem is, I have no idea what I want. I think the first step is establishing a home base. As a Capricorn, I like stability too much to be transient. I have the opportunity to come back to Puerto Rico and live here for a year, but honestly I’m terrified. Is it taking a step backwards? Will it feel too small for me? Will I fit in? Can I still travel from here? Am I getting too old to be this ambiguous about life? People tell me that my life looks perfect, but in fact I’ve just been stumbling through, crossing my fingers and hoping for the best. What do you think? Should this city girl give island life a try? 🏝 . . . . . . . . . #digitalnomads #digitalnomadlife #digitalnomadgirls #digitalnomadlifestyle #digitalnomadgirl #nomadic #puertoricolife #travelstoriesworld #travelandwork #travelandlearn #travelandbeyond #travellifelove #mytravels #decisionsdecisions #travelgirldiary #girlslovetotravel #lifeandtravel #travellifediary #locationindependent #locationindependence #travellings #liveandlearn #oldsanjuan #castillosanfelipe #happylive #travellingtheworld #myjourney #journeywithme #travelfaraway #solofemaletraveller

You wanna know what Puerto Rico needs more than anything right now? You! I was born on the island and visit regularly, but I’ve never seen Old San Juan so empty. Previously, it would be near impossible to get a picture on these streets without bumper to bumper traffic. As much as I love having free reign to take amazing photos without getting run over, I need y’all to come back here, stat! Want some reasons? 1) It’s sunny and beautiful every day ☀️ 2) You don’t need a passport if you’re from the US 🙌 3) The food is so delicious you will wonder why everything you’ve eaten till then wasn’t properly seasoned 😁 4) There’s so much live music that eventually, somewhere along the way, the rhythm is gonna get you 💃 5) It’s home to the only tropical rainforest in the US 🌿 Don’t just take my word for it though, come see for yourself! Seriously. What do you say, are you in?? 🇵🇷 . . . . . . . . . . #puertoricogram #puertoricoholic #puertoricolife #viejosanjuan #oldsanjuan #oldsanjuanpuertorico #oldsanjuanpr #sanjuanpuertorico #sanjuanmoda #visitpuertorico #discoverpuertorico #loves_puertorico #puertorico_greatshots #puertoricodoesitbetter #isladelencanto #boriqua #boriquapride #puertoricanpride #puertorico_world #puertorico_beautiful #puertorico_challenge #whateverpuertorico #puertoricostrong #girlswhotraveltheworld #girlstraveldiary #girlstravelling #womenwhotravel #thetravelwoman #traveltheworldwithme #travelanddestinations

In the last chapter of my new book, I share one of my most embarrassing travel moments... One time, in Australia, I was on a date with the hottest guy you ever did see 😍 I’m talking 6’2”, lacrosse player build with baby blue eyes and the jawline of a Greek god. Let’s call him “Mr. Perfect.” Suddenly, I started to feel violently ill. I tried to make a graceful escape but must have been unconvincing because he followed me out, only to find me on my hands and knees puking my life away on the pavement 🙈 As if that weren’t bad enough, he insisted he wanted to help, and I was so ill that I let him... Unfortunately, I didn’t get it all out and when I least expected, I morphed into full exorcist mode and ended up projectile vomiting all over his back ☠️ I’ll never forget the jerking motion he made as the stream hit him square in the spine, as if he’d just been shot. I thought I was going to die that night, from sickness or mortification or both. Instead, like Elle Wood’s friend in Legally Blonde, we actually ended up dating for three months. Go figure! And now he’s one of the many stories I tell in “The Solo Female Travel Book” to encourage you to wander and equip you to deal with whatever life throws at you while you’re traveling, or whatever comes out of you 🤷♀️ Have you ever had an embarrassing moment while traveling? . . . . . . . . #travelbloggeres #travelfail #travelstory #travelstoryteller #mytravelstory #travelstoriesworld #travelauthor #authentictravel #travelwriter #travelwriters #solofemaletravel #girlstravel #thetravelwomen #writetotravel #writingwomen #womenwhowrite #girlstravelling #travellinggirls #girlswhotravelsolo #solotravelgirl #solotravellers #travelblogging #traveltales #storytelling #storytellers #travelingalone #womentravelers #storytimethread #travelstories #realtravel

Hello beautiful people! 🤩 We are less than a week away from the launch of my new book on solo female travel 🥳 In it, I share funny stories and practical tips to help you see the world on your own ✈️ Chapter 4 talks about one of my biggest travel fails to date: overpacking for 3 weeks in Europe! There were no elevators anywhere so I hauled my 50lb bag up countless stairs. Not to mention, the cobblestone streets made it so that I only came back with 1 out of 4 wheels attached 🙈 My new book can help you learn from my mistakes! Launching Tuesday, April 2, 2019 🙌 Are you a carry-on only or checked bag kind of traveler? 🧳 . . . . . . . . #cinqueterreitaly #solotravels #solofemaletravel #travelalone #travelaloneisfun #alonetravel #travelonyourown #soloadventure #soloadventures #soloadventurer #visitingitaly #femaleblogger #travelauthor #traveljournal #travelwoman #womantravel #thetravelleague #thetraveltag #womenintravel #femalewritersofinstagram #travelwriters #selfpublishedauthors #exploreandcreate #digitalnomads #digitalnomadfamily #digitalnomadlifestyle #digitalnomadgirl #travelinstyle #fashiontravel #girlslovetotravel

I have a secret... 🤫 I scratched the rental car in New Zealand 🙈 Nothing crazy, just your average driving-on-the-wrong-side-of-a-windy-mountain-road-with-no lights-or-barriers kind of thing 🚗 It wasn’t a big deal, until I realized credit card rental coverage doesn’t apply in New Zealand 😳☠️ Chapter 2 of my book details how I spent my last day in the North Island trying to avoid a $4,000 charge, going to 4 different body shops on the drive back into Auckland. I won’t spoil the ending for you, but suffice it to say that kind of fee really motivates a person. Also, everyone who works at a NZ body shop is an angel 🙌 Whats the worst fee you ever had to pay while traveling? 💰 . . . . . . . . . #travelnewzealand #purenz #nzpure #aucklandcity #aucklandnz #aucklandviews #aucklandlife #visitauckland #visitnewzealand #newzealandtrip #newzealandpics #yespurenz #newzealandguide #mountedenauckland #aucklandnewzealand #nztravel #nztrip #travelstory #mytravelstory #traveltales #travelmoreoften #travelmoreworryless #travelfail #travelislove #adventuresintravel #travelingishappiness #travelingnz #newzealandgram #girlsthatadventure #travelwriters

The first chapter in my upcoming book is titled, “Never Get Caught in the Grand Canyon After Dark.” Here’s an excerpt of the story, with emojis: “As I drove, the area became less and less populated, and my tank more and more empty. That’s when a wild pig crossed my path. It was a dark, spotted pig that added variation to the otherwise repetitive scenery. I saw it with enough time to avoid it, though for a pig it moved remarkably fast 🐷 I looked at the fuel gauge and saw it was approaching the halfway mark. I didn’t realize I’d driven that far but figured there had to be a gas station up ahead ⛽️ Shortly after that, the electricity lines stopped. There were no stores, no people, no signs of civilization. Just a dark desert highway hopefully heading in the right direction 🚙 That’s when a moose crossed my path. It was a big moose — the first one I’ve ever seen IRL but with definite Bullwinkle properties. One animal was a sighting, two was starting to seem like a sign...” Have you ever been to the Grand Canyon? 📖✍️ . . . . . . . . #adventureiscalling #adventureislife #grandcanyonnps #grandcanyonsouthrim #thegrandcanyon #grandcanyonstate #grandcanyonnationalpark #visitarizona #travelarizona #arizonahikersguide #storytelling #storyteller #authorpreneur #digitalnomadgirls #femaletravelbloggers #femaletravelblogger #travelwriters #travelandwrite #writerscommunity #sheisnotlost #shewhotravels #travelstory #travelstoriesworld #girlsthatadventure #traveladventure #adventuretravels #femaleauthors #femalewriters #femalewritersofinstagram #latinaslovetravel
