• Well that was a surprise & He did good 🥰 Were engaged!! ⠀⠀ This weekend a friend of ours said they won a giveaway for Valentines weekend but couldn't use it so asked us if we wanted it. Me loving the opportunity to do something for free was all in... little did I know it was all a ruse for Marcus to pop the question 💙 ⠀⠀ After a surprise photo shoot & a gondola ride in Coronado, he then surprised me again with our close friends waiting to celebrate with us @thehenryrestaurant 🥂 ⠀⠀ Marcus absolutely nailed this proposal - ✨ We're so incredibly happy to have been able to celebrate with our friends. Thank you Tina for pupeteering the festivities, for the friends who celebrated with us and to Marcus who is one FINE fiancé who absolutely outdid himself🤩 I couldn't be happier or more in love ...also, thanks to the Henry for hosting our crazy loud group of misfits. ⠀⠀ Cheers to an epic weekend ⠀⠀ #wedoingthisthing #wereengaged

And it can feel overwhelming REALLY quick. Earlier this week I shared how I organize all of the ideas for blog posts by using @trello - so I wanted to share how I prioritize my time & tasks, since on any given day I have 5-6 entirely different work tasks to do : ✔️brain dump EVERYTHING you need & want to accomplish down (on paper, a spreadsheet, whatever you prefer) ⠀⠀ ✔️organize it by how long it will take you & when it needs to be done ⠀⠀ ✔️ add your items into your weekly & monthly calendar ⠀⠀ ✔️ review your list every day & adjust as you need to 🥳 ⠀⠀ ::::: Being self aware of what you need to prioritize is SUPER helpful.

  • How San Diegans feel when it drops below 70 degrees F... we yearn out our windows, longing for warmer sunny days 😂 ⠀⠀ We're definitely spoiled with great, mild weather. So it's obvious when climate change affects San Diego... like having days hotter than 85 degrees in early November or more & more humidity each summer. ⠀⠀ EDUCATED Scientists are sharing their data backed research with the world on the impacts of climate change. Which makes me a firm believer. here are a few odd environmental events Ive heard about just since Jan 1 : ☑️ MASSIVE brush fires in Australia ☑️ earthquakes in Puerto Rico ⠀⠀ ☑️ 60+ degrees in Chicago in the dead of winter ⠀⠀ ☑️the Taal volcano eruption in the Philippines ⠀⠀ To me, one of these happening can be considered typical weather behavior, but for ALL of them to occur so close together is far from what we should expect 😳 ::::: I'm curious-- have you experienced out of the ordinary weather where you're from?? ⠀⠀ • • • • • ⠀⠀ #blueeyedcompass #wanderwithawe #compassionatetravel #sustainabletravel #sustainabletravelblogger #sustainabletourism #travelwithpurpose #sustainableblogger #amsterdamworld #iamsterdam #amsterdamvibe #visitamsterdam #wonderlustamsterdam #amsterdamgram #amsterdamn #climatechangeisreal

If you stay, I've got lots of new things & ideas for ya this year ::::: Moving forward this page will be about more than travel. I'll be incorporating more about living a sustainable lifestyle, things about San Diego (moving here & living here), professional & personal development and probably most impactful HOW to build a career or side hustle online. ::::: That last part will include blogging, SEO, web design and MORE!

  • Travel to me means gaining new perspective. So I'm challenging you to dive into some personal perspective -- what's something that changed your perspective from one of your travel adventures? ::::: One perspective I recently adapted to is that the grass isn't always greener on the other side. A magical destination may not be as magical for those living there as locals. This lesson taught me to always respect the places I go to even when I want a totally relaxed, zero care in the world, type of vacation. ⠀⠀ • • • • • ⠀⠀ #blueeyedcompass #wanderwithawe #compassionatetravel #sustainabletravel #sustainabletravelblogger #sustainabletourism #travelwithpurpose #sustainableblogger #kauaihawaii #kauailove #kauailife #kauaiadventures #visitkauai #kauaivacation #lethawaiihappen #hawaiitag #havealohawilltravel #hawaiiwego #definedhawaii #hawaiivacation #hawaiilove
