As of lately, I have been spending my time in the Dominican Republic. This is what happens when you leave your full-time job… you have the freedom to do what you want! With this new found freedom I have, I plan on traveling until it leads me to some major life epiphany or until I feel compelled to try “adulting” again. In the midst of searching for life epiphanies and my escapism from “adulting”, I randomly booked a trip to the Dominican Republic.

The Dominican Republic is a BEAUTIFUL country! From the great beaches to the people that live here, it’s an inexplicable feeling. To arrive in a country and automatically feel like you’re at home is rare. Surprisingly, my Spanish has come back to me just from being here (my minor in Spanish didn’t die in vain). I must say, living a slow-pace lifestyle, and indulging in the libations of Mamajuana is something that I can get use to. Not to mention…Dominican men are GORGEOUS! Since being here I have been married like five times but…DéLeon has my heart (muchos besos mi amor).

Throughout my travel adventures in the Dominican, I have been capturing a lot of pictures (too many to upload). The colorful architecture and lush green landscape is breathtaking and worth sharing.

Hey-hey,

This summer was on of the best summers I have ever had in a really long time. Although, there were many life changing moments that happened. Every moment was worth it! Having the time to travel and experience life outside of my day-to-day regimen was something I needed. From Phoenix-Denver-Iowa-Chicago-Birmingham-Atlanta I learned a lot about myself and surprisingly my family heritage (I share about this in another blog post).

From my summer travels here are five simple things I learned:

Be more risk taking- Explore things that you necessarily wouldn’t if you where in the comforts of your home town.
Randomly strike up a conversation- You never known who you will meet, and it always interesting to hear peoples life stories.
Eat what you want- Its a vacation for crying out loud!
Enjoy the people you travel with- Whether its family or friends, spending time with the people you love is a luxury. Don’t take it for granted, every day is not promised!
Make time for meditation- Centering yourself when traveling from place-to-place will help to make the vacation experience more rewarding and positive.
