After attending Burning Man 3 out of the past 4

After attending Burning Man 3 out of the past 4 years, I finally got to experience AfrikaBurn here in SouthAfrica! 🍭🐚☂️ ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Last week, I went completely offline to fully immerse myself in a temporary city of art, music, mutant vehicles and people from all over the world in the middle of the Tankwa Karoo. It was hot, dusty, rainy, uncomfortable, incredible and unforgettable. Stay tuned for more photos and a video from my epic adventures at the Burn! ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• AfrikaBurn2017

{ TAP FOR 🎶} "Because we thought of life by analogy with a journey – with a pilgrimage. Which had a serious purpose at the end and the thing was to get to that end; success or whatever it is or maybe heaven after you’re dead. But we missed the point the whole way along. It was a musical thing and you were supposed to sing and to dance while the music was being played." -Alan Watts ••••••••••••••••••••••••••• 🎶 "Makeba" by JainMusic | Thanks to all the beautiful souls out at AfrikaBurn! tailsofamermaid keenanmulvaney trufflejournal maxrmcd rayawashere funforlouis alexdutoitphotography roxannelautenbach petermethven major_longtom

sponsored I’ve teamed up with Delta to share how travel has changed me over the years, and I hope it inspires you to share your experiences. How was travel opened your eyes? Use TravelChangedMe and tell your story! ✈️ 🌎 ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• It's crazy to think about how travel has changed my perspective of the world. My first solo trip abroad lasted 90 days and took me to Australia, New Zealand and through Southeast Asia. I remember boarding my flight in Melbourne about to travel to Southeast Asia on my own. I sat next to a Thai girl (about my own age) on the flight and, in the course of the 9-hour journey to Bangkok, she completely changed her travel plans and joined me on a spontaneous trip through the islands of Thailand. It gave me the courage to continue traveling solo through Cambodia and Vietnam, and everywhere I went the kindness of strangers helped to guide me along the way. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• I can still remember the initial fear of leaving the comforts of home, but I knew that I needed to step out of my comfort zone to grow into the person I wanted to be. I learned so much that summer about my own capabilities and passions that shaped me into the person I am today. 💕

My hood

My hood ✌🏻 ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• It's been exactly 4 months since I moved to CapeTown and a lot of you have been asking why I haven't shared much about it. I realize I never even announced it on my blog. Honestly, this move wasn't really planned. It wasn't for PR or for praise so it felt weird to make a big announcement like "I'm moving to Africa." I still don't know what to say when people ask me why I moved to SouthAfrica. I felt an incredible energy pulling me here and, for no reason other than "why not?", I packed my bags. My time here has been a whirlwind of discovery and also slowing down. I moved to Cape Town's Woodstock neighborhood-- a sort of "Brooklyn to New York... 20 years ago." I live in an industrial building that's been converted into studio apartments... next to a mosque and across the street from a crack house. It's gritty here, but it's also where I feel most connected to the incredible diversity in this city. I promise to share more about my new home when I'm ready. For now, I'm just enjoying living this chapter of my life before sharing the story. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• ✌🏻💕🇿🇦

Explore. Dream. Discover

Explore. Dream. Discover. -Mark Twain 🌿 ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Just returned from three nights in Zambia with three of my long-time best friends! It's indescribable how fortunate I feel to have friends fly around to world to visit me in Africa. I'm also at a loss for words to describe our time together at Tongabezi-- one of the most magical properties I've ever stayed at. This place is literally out of a Mark Train storybook-- with tree houses and river rafts. We woke up each morning to monkeys playing outside our windows. We fell asleep each night to the grunts of hippos in the distance. We waited in stopped traffic as elephants crossed the street at sunset. And we sipped our tea as we watched crocodiles cruise slowly down the river. 🐒🐘🐊 ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Shot on my DJIGlobal | Zambia

Table for 4

Table for 4 🙋🏼 ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• From a platform floating above two canoes (on the Zambezi River), we sipped wine, laughed until our bellies ached and watched the sun slowly set into the horizon. Our dinner was then brought out, course by course, as the flicker of fire from our lanterns burnt through the black of night. We stared up at the massive expanse of stars above us, each muttering some variation of "this is absolute magic." ✨⭐️ ✨ ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Shot from my djiglobal | tongabezi Africa

It was a quick 10 hour layover in LA before heading to Bali-- just long enough to visit with friends & family and to eat my favorite meal (grilled cheese, animal style + chopped chilies) 😍 PS did you know you can make your fries animal style without the cheese FO FREE?! Just ask for grilled onions and spread on your fries 😉 Thank me later! •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

So excited to be hosting my first ever 10-Day Blogger Retreat in Bali with InstituteofCode! 💻 🌴 ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• 5 days ago, we welcomed 12 students to their new "classroom"-- one of the most incredible villas in Bali! The girls have been busy learning everything it takes to run a successful blog- including Wordpress blogging, web development and coding, SEO strategy, photography and Lightroom editing, as well as social media marketing. It's been absolutely incredible to share the knowledge and expertise I've gained over the past 5 years of blogging (after many failures and hiccups along the way). We've still got another 6 days to go, so be sure to follow along on Insta Stories and TBAretreats 💕 ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• 📷: Thanks to one of our retreat photography mentors eyes_of_a_nomad for the capture!
