Why I Quit My 6-Figure Job to Become a Travel Blogger

September 17, 2017

I could barely contain my excitement as I landed in Puerto Vallarta. This trip was more than just a beachy getaway. This trip was a celebration of the next chapter in my life โ€” and not just because I would be turning 40 during it.

Beach or pool? Which of these 2 pics is YOUR happy Beach or pool? Which of these 2 pics is YOUR happy place on a tropical vacation? ๐Ÿ I honestly canโ€™t choose, so Iโ€™ve been bouncing back and forth between the two throughout my weeklong stay at the @bahiaprincipehotels in Tulum (Cancun, Mexico). I love the music and party vibe at the pool, and then I like to just chill out and listen to the ocean waves on the beach ... itโ€™s the best of both worlds!

This amazing plastic farmstand from @lettucegrow ... itโ€™s made from recycled milk jugs and literally only takes 15 minutes of work/maintenance a week! As you can see, it works well in tight spaces, like my tiny backyard!

Iโ€™m really enjoying having access to these delicious fresh greens now that Iโ€™m cooking more frequently ... and my next planting will include pepper, tomatoes, green beans and cucumbers! ๐Ÿ…๐Ÿฅ’๐ŸŒถ๐Ÿฅฌ Even Lily is licking her chops!

โœ๏ธ Iโ€™ve lost some assignments
๐Ÿฆ  Iโ€™ve been writing a lot about coronavirus for various magazines, and itโ€™s exhausting to be immersed in this scary research 24/7
.
But instead of dwelling on all these frustrations and disappointments, Iโ€™m concentrating on feeling grateful. Everyone I know is safe and healthy, I still have assignments, and Iโ€™m encouraged by some of the acts of kindness and charity Iโ€™m seeing in the news. Letโ€™s all strive to be kinder and more charitable to one another throughout this global pandemic โค๏ธ

Tell me: What are YOU grateful for today?

Meanwhile, I wanted to share some news Iโ€™m REALLY SAD about: My trip to #Thailand this week (my first-ever trip to Asia, which Iโ€™ve been looking forward to for ages!) was cancelled due to the coronavirus outbreak. I realize itโ€™s probably better to be safe than sorry, but I was still willing to enjoy the adventure! ๐Ÿ˜ท However, the decision was out of my hands. Iโ€™m sooo disappointed!

This spectacular view (which you can drive right up to) is the Kalalau Lookout in Kauai ... one of the best opportunities to snap photos of the Kalalau Valley and the iconic Na Pali Coast. The Kalalau Lookout stands at 4,00 feet above sea level. FYI: The only way into the valley below is by foot along the Kalalau Trail or by boat.
.
I highly recommend you visit first thing in the morning, because clouds usually roll in by noon and you wouldnโ€™t be able to see this view at all!

Itโ€™s REALLY called Waimea Canyon, and itโ€™s located on the southwest side of the island. Itโ€™s open daily during daylight hours and free to visit, but youโ€™ll have to pay a few bucks for parking.

This geological wonder stretches 14 miles long, 1 mile wide and more than 3,600 feet deep, providing panoramic views of crested buttes, rugged crags and deep valley gorges. .

Built nearly 1,000 years ago, the Alekoko Fishpond has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1973. This is one of the best examples of ancient Hawaiian aquaculture.
๐ŸŽฃ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐ŸŽฃ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐ŸŽฃ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐ŸŽฃ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐ŸŽฃ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐ŸŽฃ
The legend that surrounds the fishpond is based on the mythical Menehune, Hawaii's โ€œmischievous little peopleโ€ who performed impressive  engineering feats. The Menehune lived in the forest and hid from humans. According to Hawaiian legends, the Menehune built this entire fishpond in ONE night. They managed this task by lining up from the village of Makaweli for 25 miles, passing stones hand-to-hand to build the pond.
