Although I was on track to make it to 30 countries by 30 (darn pandemic), I’m beyond grateful that I’ve now been to 15 countries plus the US. I thought it would be fun to go through each country and share one beautiful thing out of all my travels that has left me in tears,…

Daydreamer Diaries: 10/13/20
Musings With less than a month until election day and with everything that’s happened in the past 4 years, I spend a lot of my current free time hoping that Americans do the right thing on November 3rd. So many lives are at risk if Trump stays in office. Vote early if you can! In…

It’s been a while since I’veĀ shared one of these because it feels like nothing’s happened due to COVID restrictions. Yet, life always goes on and a lot has happened (I could go on a rant but I won’t). I’ll just say wear a mask and vote Trump out of office š Laughs Laughter truly is…

Daydreamer Diaries: 4/17/20
Hello from… I’m writing this post from California, where I came after deciding to hastily leave Costa Rica last month in the midst of border closings and travel uncertainties. I just logged out of my booking.com account, having gone on to cancel a reservation for an agriturismoĀ in the heart of Tuscany where I was meant…

Welcome to Onā¢theā¢Move Musings: a weekly-update-series where I reflect on my time exploring the globe; a place to record all the little details from travel that, despite being so special, my pigeon brain could likely forget; a space to show gratitude for where life’s daydreams have taken me; a few moments to stop and write…
