Hello again, it’s been awhile. It’s been a few months since I’ve posted on here (since October 3rd to be exact!), and 2018 on the whole was not a creatively inspired year. I’ve wanted to get back into blogging so badly, but each time I would sit down to write a post it was almost …

Finding my Inner Peace
It’s currently 2:30am on a Tuesday (as I finish this post and schedule it to post), and my creative energy has finally been returning after a very long time. In fact, I can’t remember the last time that I felt inspired to stay up and write a post or to post consistently. Since starting my …

Travel Vlogs: Save the Frogs Costa Rica EcoTour 2017
In July I went on the Save the Frogs Costa Rica EcoTour after my time in Chile, and it was one of the best experiences that I’ve ever had! This entire summer has been filled with wonderful experiences, and I wanted to be able to share moments from them with you. I took footage on …
Home.

A place of peace and calm among unfamiliar surroundings. Home. A place that resonates with your soul, and brings back memories of …
