After finally taking a morning to sleep in (cue big rainstorm that gave me a very nice long morning to feel okay with staying in bed), I said goodbye to my favorite little corner in Southwest Harbor with a warm coffee and all the good vibes. I made my way down to Boothbay as the … Continue reading The Maine Effect – Day 4 & 5
I don’t wake up to watch sunrises during my normal routine. I can barely roll out of bed for my early clients 3 days a week. I’m not a morning person. Maine turned me into a morning person. Something made this alarm feel less blaring and aggressive….and boy was that early alarm worth it. I … Continue reading The Maine Effect – Day 3
An early awakening at the hostel turned into a slow and intentional morning exploring downtown Portland and enjoying a run while taking in the coast line views.

After a lot of hot sun (yes there’s sun in Maine just a little chillier than Florida) & lots of tiki bar live music sessions with amazing girlfriends, I was excited for a solo trip into the woods of Maine.

And the fields of … Continue reading Day 2
We hit the ground running for our first 24 hours in Iceland. After a long day of flying and only 3 hours of sleep, a trip to the Blue Lagoon was just what we needed. It was the perfect morning to enjoy the 39°C lagoon and a brisk wind outside...summer Iceland is the perfect oasis … Continue reading Day 1
Landed in Reykjavik at 8:30 our time (4:30 EST). So, obviously fiasco does not mean no Iceland trip...but we cut it pretty close. For the Charleston flight we showed up an hour and a half early for the flight (this is important for later) and made it through security in no time. We had an … Continue reading Fiasco in Toronto
