Namaste All! So this blog has taken a short hiatus due to my recent trip to India. I spent the past few months living on the gorgeous beaches of Goa, India studying yoga with the Himalaya Yoga Valley. I received my 200-hour Hatha Yoga teacher certification after lots of blood, sweat and many many many [...]

Being a New Englander…one of my favorite midsummer activities is sailing….well, that’s a stretch. I like watching other people sail who know what they are actually doing, while I just wait to be given a simple task, like skirting the mainsail in a lazy Saturday race, or making sure everyone’s beers are full. I have [...]

Now that the weather is finally becoming pool/beach suitable (we’ll forget about the hiccup yesterday), I have been on the hunt for the perfect combination of a pool and beach…and a little eco-consciousness might help to! Well I think I found a new favorite pool that I would die to visit…if I ever win the [...]
Wanderlust Wednesday: Finding Brangelina’s Namibia…not on Brangelina’s Budget

We all remember the media frenzy that was the adoption saga of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie in Namibia a few years back, bringing a large, seemingly obscure, yet beautiful African country on the radar. However, most of us are not celebrity philanthropists and therefore cannot enjoy Namibia on their budget. The Jolie-Pitts actually rented [...]

Now that the weather is finally cooperating, knock on wood, I’ve been able to do a lot more of one of my favorite summer activities…kayaking. Kayaking can be an intensely athletic and competitive endeavor for some, which is wonderful, but for me, I kayak simply for the pleasure of getting my blood flowing and putting [...]

Now that the weekend is approaching, I would like to offer a weekend activity for all you Bostonians out there. Take a drive out to Western Massachusetts, to Lenox, and spend a day…or two…or a week, at Kripalu Yoga center. This place is a sustainable yogi’s utopia! I have spent numerous days at Kripalu, and [...]
Wanderlust Wednesday: AIR JAWS…why watch Planet Earth when you can experience it live?

So this Wednesday, I wanted to share an experience I have already had, but that I would do again in a heartbeat. Cage Diving with Great White Sharks off of Seal Island in South Africa. If anyone else watches Shark Week as religiously as I do, then I’m pretty sure you’ve seen this couple…Chris and [...]
Wanderlust Wednesday: Migrate Across Mongolia as a Warrior!

So you may have “bow hunting skills…nun chuck skills….” but what about Mongolian warrior skills…aka shooting a bow and arrow off of horseback while riding across the Steppes? I didn’t think so. Mongolian warriors were the fastest most tactful warriors in their time. Led by Genghis Khan (name given in 1189), who united rival clans [...]

I watched ‘Casablanca’ the other night and my desire to travel to Northern Africa was reignited immediately. I also was in the midst of a girls’-night-in, consisting of homemade summertime facial masks. I thought to myself…hmmm…spa PLUS Morocco would be the ideal….and what do you know? One of the top Eco-Spa’s in the world is [...]

Malawi….”the Warm Heart of Africa”… Well, the weather still has not let up and its making me long to go back to the wonderful, and much drier, Africa. One country I have always wanted to visit in Africa is Malawi…in South Eastern Africa nestled in between Zambia, Mozambique and Tanzania. One may think that because [...]
