I am on a mission to show the world that living a Balanced Lifestyle is possible, but only if you try and put in the effort to make it work. Over the course of the next 2 months I will be putting my Work-Life Balance to the test as I work remotely while traveling across South East Asia. While many think I’m crazy trying to juggle a full-time job on the road, I find the challenge stimulating and a great learning experience. I will admit, trying to fit your average 9-5 work day is not easy, but with extra effort and good  [ Read More ]

What would you do with 2 Tickets to Anywhere in the World?   I never thought even in my wildest dreams I would have the chance to answer this question. But on the afternoon of Oct. 1st, I got the call from Tripping and was informed that I had just won the photo contest and 2 tickets to anywhere in the world!

A pastel colored skyline and dazzling glitter city lights aluminate the sky as my plane descends to the World famous city, Buenos Aires. At last I had arrived, to the beautiful Latin-European fusioned city so many people fall in love with every year.  I arrived with no expectations – just an open heart and mind – ready to see places I’d never seen before, to experience a culture few dared to experience, and meet people I could create new adventures with!  Over the course of a week I managed to see all the ‘Must See’ attractions and ‘Must Do’ activities. A unique  [ Read More ]

Alas~ Finally Spring has sprung! Our days are longer and the rain has lessened…soon the sky will be blue and the sun will come out and play! I was able to experience the first day of Spring in both California and Washington this year Though the weather wasn’t ideal Spring weather, the company sure was! I spent the weekend with some of my closest friends and family. We experienced a Middle Eastern style evening with dinner, shesha and belly dancing at Kan Zaman in San Francisco.
