• Mornings are different because I'm my own boss.⁣ ⁣ 8 AM - I usually wake up at 8 AM since I don't have to fight traffic to make it to the corporate office. Brush my teeth, do a morning walk, & make some tea. ⁣ ⁣ 8: 30 AM - I head to my office nook near the living room to create Pinterest graphics & descriptions for a my client who is popular travel influencer.⁣ ⁣ 9:30 AM - Go through my emails: delete, answer, or file away.⁣ ⁣ 9:45 AM - Organize & optimize Youtube channel for a fitness influencer to increase views.⁣ ⁣ ….. and the day is still on a roll but that’s the beginning of an average day. To be honest I spent way too much time creating this post so I have to get back to work!⁣ ⁣ I’ve been self-employed for 2.5 years. Eek, can you believe it? I better my processes, rituals, & routines daily. ⁣ ⁣ Got a question? Leave a comment.

  • Spent most of today reading a book & practicing my Spanish. Although I did “nothing,” I feel more productive than if I simply spent the day watching 14 episodes of Friends (again.) ✨ What’re you up to?

  • 2019 was quite a year. I went on press trips. I went to 6 countries. I grew my business. I had some struggles. I had some good times, but nonetheless I made it work. I went skydiving; I challenged myself. I lost clients, I gained clients, I earned money & I spent money & I saved money. Life is hard. It’s not easy but I slayed 2019 & I can’t wait to continue that. Life is difficult, you just have to apply yourself. And I’m going to nail it. ✨ Thanks for being part of the story; it’s going to be a bumpy ride! ✨ What was your favourite thing I posted/talked/did/ate this year? Let me know how I can provide you with moments worth sharing. See you in 2020! 👋🏼

  • I became a US citizen at age 16.

I spent 16 years of my life feeling stuck.⁣ ⁣ If anything, hopefully this post reminds you to travel, to be aware of the privilege of travel, & to enjoy it. ✈️ ⁣ ___________________________⁣ I want to open the dialogue on this: Where would you travel? What’s holding you back? If someone paid for you to travel 30 days anywhere you wanted, where would you choose? Leave a comment.
