The first time that the wheels took off the tarmac, when I was headed to Europe, to St. Tropez. I landed in Nice, France. I was gone for eight months, and besides going just over the border to Mexico this was my first international trip. I felt amazing, so connected to different timelines, my past ancestors, some of whom were French. Just being in the Mediterranean in general, I felt so connected. I was working with really high-end business professionals doing their hair. At the time I was 26 and had been working on Broadway. I was living in Manhattan and wanted to escape the weather temporarily. I went to an internet cafe because we didn’t have smartphones then and started applying to different companies that would allow me to travel. I was also going through a breakup, having just ended a 6-year relationship and engagement. I felt like there was something more, that I needed to answer my soul’s call. The plan was originally to go for four months, but I just kept traveling. It was transformative, like I had permission to live my life and began connecting to myself in a way I never knew was possible.

I loved going to Jordan, to Petra, and just feeling so connected to a civilization that came so long before me. Seeing their resourcefulness and the way they lived and have been living for thousands of years, it made me feel like a time traveler. It’s so beautiful there. Also, being stripped away of so many of our comforts, and realizing how we don’t need it, really taught me a lesson about what I truly need in life. Seeing how connected the people are to their heart, passion, and humanity, made me think about the way I live my life, the impact I want to have and the importance of people and connection, that’s really all that matters.

Taking my mom on a trip to Italy, Greece and Turkey was amazing. We traveled for a few weeks, it was her first time overseas. After I came home from traveling Europe the first time she said, “I want to learn how to travel,” so I said, “I will show you.” I bought her a ticket to meet me in Venice, we went to Athens, Santorini, Rhodes and then into Turkey, where we did Cappadocia and Istanbul. That will always be one of those memories I love so much. Being able to introduce my mom to travel and show her how easily she could travel. That was a long time ago and she still talks about it today, I see how life-changing it was for her.

Every time right? Getting into the flow while you are traveling and the flow of your life, where it’s calling you. There’s an abundance of synchronicity when you’re connecting to people, the conversations you have, and the places you’re magnetically drawn to. You unlock pieces of your being that you never tap into in the same way when your head is just down in your life.

I remember riding my bike through Denmark and just stopping and journaling and my channeling at that point in my life had never been so clear. Even through heartbreak and confusion, I had ended the relationship I thought I was supposed to have and I thought I was supposed to have kids by 27 so I was having this quarter-life crisis when I started traveling. I remember riding my bike around and really discovering who I was. I would stop and journal and channel, and really got reminded of who I am and am meant to be, instead of this idea built off of social constructs, I was mourning that, but then connecting with spirit and source and myself in a really powerful way.

I’m headed there, Bali is my latest dream destination. I would love to do more of India and Morocco, Morocco is high on my list. More Middle Eastern countries, I’ve done some. Even China, I’d love to do a deep nature river tour in China, explore ancient Chinese healing modalities and connect with the people that have never left that way of life.

Just do it. You’ll find your way, trust fall, and let the Universe support you. Trust the nudges in your heart, that there are people in other places that need to experience your vibration, curiosity, and offerings. There are ways to do it on any budget if it’s something you truly desire to do. Making small changes in your life to be able to do this instead of saying I wish I would have because it doesn’t get any easier. Don’t wait.

You’re never alone, you have more support available to you than you realize. We are all more alike than we are different. I just instantly think of the news and all the fear of “other,” travel helps squash the idea of “us and them,” which goes into every area of our life. We’re all connected through the universal breath of life and the idea of “other” is such an illusion. Travel really helps you break that down, to understand oneness.

I was inspired by the loss of my aunt who always inspired me to travel. After her passing, I decided I was going to start a travel blog, she always wanted me to write about travel. During the pandemic, I had been wearing a t-shirt that said Reverie on the front and “dream your reality” on the back. That was the shirt I would paint in every day. Every time I put the shirt on it was like a portal into somewhere else, even though we were in lockdown. When I thought about starting this blog it was “destination” going somewhere, and “reverie” which meant daydream in French. It felt really suiting, and that was before I knew I would be taking people on a journey with their breath, with their mind. I’m really excited to help people step into traveling physically as well as mentally, emotionally, and energetically going on these journeys.

To help people come back home to themselves, elevate their consciousness, and shed the conditioning that we think keeps us safe but that actually keeps us stuck. Being the fullest expression, the most aligned version of ourselves. Saying goodbye to my friends and coworkers in a multi-fatality car accident at the age of 21 and realizing that we only get one shot, I decided I was going to go after everything I felt I was truly supposed to do in this lifetime. My purpose now is helping others find the feeling of safety and the ability to know that they too can fulfill their dreams, follow their passions and live out their life purpose. Whether that’s a passion for travel or to live and pursue their dharma, it all begins with creating safety within the nervous system, in their original home, the body. From this place of stability in self, we are empowered to go to the places and do the things we’re meant to do.

I didn’t, the Universe just showed me to it. Once you start listening to yourself, your heart, and the Universe, you’re led to it. It’s not that I know, I’m just answering the call of what’s in front of me. It’s wild, even as a kid I loved math, I loved numbers, and now for me to love numerology, it’s like of course, it’s always been there.

Breathwork. I always do my morning Ayurveda, cold face wash, tongue scrape, and lemon water. Then I do something to connect, chanting, breathwork, meditation, connecting to myself, my soul, and source. Even though it changes and sometimes it’s a walking meditation, or getting into nature, it’s always the first rituals right away in the morning and then it’s connecting and movement.

I love them all so much, they’re so unique. There was this one woman who had put a lot of pressure on herself to discover her purpose. She would say, “I don’t know what I’m meant to do,” and was trying all these different careers and courses. Eventually, she got to this place of understanding her design, doing breathwork every day, meditating, and coming back into her body, and through this, she discovered her purpose. She lives with such ease and flow now, and is able to contribute so much more to the world, to herself, her family, and friends, from this state of true being. Feeling at home within herself allowed her to stop forcing this outside idea that she thought was something she had to discover. Taking the pressure off herself, and allowing herself to just be herself and live her life with authenticity and joy. It’s been so amazing to watch.
