The first beach day after leaving the farm
I wasn't going to post about this, but I loved how I felt and the photos are just beautiful...so here I go! I swear I'll start posting about my experiences on Maui in order after this one ;) After I was picked up at the farm by Summer, Jeremy and their son, I spent a few days grounding myself, sleeping in, eating three meals a day again (I wasn't eating much because I was so freaked out to use anything in the kitchen at the farm), starting my morning ritual of meditating and

Maui, here I come!!
To be sitting here writing this, the night before I leave for Maui, gives me chills! And flashbacks to seven years ago, sitting at my old laptop writing a pre-travel post before leaving for Milan. I had absolutely no idea how much I would learn about myself and grow in a span of only 4 months and here I am again, about to embark on another solo trip and I feel the powerful energy all around me. I so strongly feel that this journey is going to be completely transformative and
