Meet the Global Glutton

Have you heard tales of people who quit their soul-sucking 6-figure jobs at Fortune 10 companies to pursue their passion? Well, I’m one of them. As someone with an insatiable appetite for new experiences, I now travel the world and write about my adventures. My name is Jill Schildhouse, aka The Global Glutton, and this is my travel blog.

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? 🏝 I honestly can’t choose, so I’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 ... it’s the best of both worlds!

I’ve discovered “gardening!” 👩🏻‍🌾

I’ve discovered “gardening!” 👩🏻‍🌾 One of the changes I’m making (due to coronavirus and my interest in avoiding grocery stores as much as possible) is growing some of my own produce and herbs 🥬 But I definitely don’t have a green thumb, so what’s my secret?
.
This amazing plastic farmstand from @lettucegrow ... it’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!
.
I’m really enjoying having access to these delicious fresh greens now that I’m cooking more frequently ... and my next planting will include pepper, tomatoes, green beans and cucumbers! 🍅🥒🌶🥬 Even Lily is licking her chops!
.
What positive changes has the coronavirus quarantine brought your way?

Remembering a simpler time, when when we had never heard of the coronavirus and we were free to move about the world as we pleased.
.
I’ve been sheltering in place in Phoenix for 2 weeks, with my fiancé and schnauzer. A lot has changed in my world, so I went inward:
.
🇹🇭 I missed out on my trip to Thailand, my DREAM destination
🇱🇰 I’m cancelling my trip to Sri Lanka next week, and that was going to be an epic father-daughter experience
👰🏻 I am likely going to have to reschedule my entire wedding, since it’s on a cruise ship
✏️ I’ve lost some assignments
🦠 I’ve been writing a lot about coronavirus for various magazines, and it’s exhausting to be immersed in this scary research 24/7
.
But instead of dwelling on all these frustrations and disappointments, I’m concentrating on feeling grateful. Everyone I know is safe and healthy, I still have assignments, and I’m encouraged by some of the acts of kindness and charity I’m seeing in the news. Let’s all strive to be kinder and more charitable to one another throughout this global pandemic ❤️
.
Tell me: What are YOU grateful for today?

Sunsets always remind me just how quickly time passes by ... and this particular sunset, with a massive @rolex clock in the foreground, further cemented that feeling!
🌅🕰🌅🕰🌅🕰🌅🕰🌅🕰🌅🕰🌅
Time is the only commodity that is irreplaceable. 🤔 The older I get, the more conscious I am about how I choose to spend mine.
🕐🕑🕒🕓🕔🕕🕖🕗🕘🕙🕚🕛
Personally, I always find exploring new places around the world to be one of my best uses of time: it allows me to interact with people I’d never otherwise meet, experience history first-hand, and gain a fresh perspective outside of my daily bubble. How about you??

One of my favorite foods? Awww shucks ... it’s oysters!
.
These pacific oysters at @westincarlsbad were particularly scrumptious ... so fresh and presented beautifully. Seriously, where can I find some great oysters in #Phoenix??

What’s a dish you can never turn down when you see it on the menu??

The only thing I enjoy about red-eye flights? Taking off in the dark and then, hours later, awakening to a spectacular sunset view from 35,000 feet (like this flight home from Kauai)!
🇹🇭😭🇹🇭😭🇹🇭😭🇹🇭😭🇹🇭😭🇹🇭😭🇹🇭
Meanwhile, I wanted to share some news I’m REALLY SAD about: My trip to #Thailand this week (my first-ever trip to Asia, which I’ve been looking forward to for ages!) was cancelled due to the coronavirus outbreak. I realize it’s probably better to be safe than sorry, but I was still willing to enjoy the adventure! 😷 However, the decision was out of my hands. I’m sooo disappointed!

How has the #coronavirus impacted your travels? Anyone else dealing with cancelled trips? Quarantines? Fill me in!

That moment when you think you’ve captured THE perfect picture, but later realize your hair somehow turned into a scarf thanks to the wind! Does this happen to anyone else? 🤦🏻‍♀️
.
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 wouldn’t be able to see this view at all!

This breathtaking spot on Kauai is nicknamed “the Grand Canyon of the Pacific.” And, considering I live in Arizona, I can definitely see the resemblance, although this is MUCH more lush, of course!
.
It’s REALLY called Waimea Canyon, and it’s located on the southwest side of the island. It’s open daily during daylight hours and free to visit, but you’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. .
⏩ Scroll through to see more angles, including a shot of the Waipo'o Falls waterfall that drops 800 feet in two tiers.
.
Which do you prefer: Waimea Canyon or the Grand Canyon? Personally, I can’t decide!

Happy Tuesday! 🙋🏻‍♀️Raise your hand if you’d rather be surfing than working today!

You know you’re in Hawaii when this is the sign that greets you upon entering a restaurant!🏄🏻‍♀️
.
Surf’s up at Kauai’s Lava Lava Beach Club!🏄🏻‍♀️ It’s the island’s only toes-in-the-sand dining experience ... and what better way is there to catch the aloha spirit than dining outdoors while overlooking the ocean?

At first glance, you might think this umbrella is protecting me from the rain. ☔️ NOPE! It’s just providing some much-needed shade while I lounge on the beach on a beautiful, clear day. ☀️

Do you love lighthouses as much as I do? This is the Ninini Point Lighthouse, an 86-foot tall wood and concrete structure overlooking Nawiliwili Bay, in Kauai.
.
With 180-degree views, it’s an ideal spot to watch whales 🐳 breaching and cruise ships 🛳 docking for the day. Plus, it’s super close to the Lihue airport, so you can watch planes ✈️ takeoff here, as well!
.
⏩ Scroll through to see a video of the whale-watching lookout spot just to the left of the lighthouse. 👀
.
You’ll need a car/SUV that can handle bumpy dirt roads in order to find this hidden gem, but it’s worth the effort!

Happy Friday, everyone! I spent a couple days this week just chillin’ on the beach in Kauai, which always brings my soul so much joy. The ocean is always my happy place, and I practically had the beach all to myself at @sheratonkauaicoconutbeach ... pure bliss!

What did you do this week that brings you joy?

This is Alekoko Menehune Fishpond, a legendary ancient Hawaiian fishpond in Nawiliwili, (outside Lihue).
🐟🐡🐠🐟🐡🐠🐟🐡🐠🐟
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.
🎣💦🎣💦🎣💦🎣💦🎣💦🎣
The legend that surrounds the fishpond is based on the mythical Menehune, Hawaii's “mischievous little people” 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.
🔨🚧🤝🔨🚧🤝🔨🚧🤝🔨🚧
If you want to visit, this view is from an overlook on Hulemalu Road. You can also take a kayak out on the pond 🚣‍♀️
.
Do you love learning about local legends as much as I do?

Happy Monday! Yesterday, I got to enjoy two of my favorite activities simultaneously: 1. Eating! 2. Toes in the sand. 👣 🍔 🏝
.
Yes, I’m still doing #Keto, so I chose a bunless burger with a side salad. The food was OK; it’s really the beachy vibes and ocean views that make this restaurant a must-visit in Kauai 😍
