I was reminded this morning, that’s it’s the little things that mean the most and leave a lasting memory. ∙⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Here is a short list of just some of the memories that I cherish most:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ *⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Walking the streets of New Haven and Yale 🎓*⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Tasting new local breweries 🍻*⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Making a home cooked birthday with a cake 🎂*⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Off roading in Jeeps 🚗 *⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Biking to yoga classes 🧘🏼‍♀️ ∙⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I encourage you to take a few moments to recall some moments in your life that mean a lot to you and then I challenge you to do 1 simple act of kindness this week that may mean a lot to someone around you 🥰

One of the things I love most about the New England area is the amount of history you can encounter. The buildings behind me were built in 1840 and remodeled in 1914. If you zoom into the rock water basin, it is inscribed with the year of 1894. It is said to be the oldest Homestead in America as it sits on the foundations of a house dated 1663! 🕰 ∙⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Besides the quaintness of the buildings 🏡, the gorgeous rose gardens 🌹, and the massive swaying green trees 🌳, I can’t help but wonder who may have walked these same rolling hills or the events that may have occurred here centuries ago. ∙⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I believe we appreciate history more as we grow older. What place has brought you back in time? ⏳

Don’t forget to laugh at least once a day!🤣 ∙⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ They say laughter cures all and I 100% believe it! I find myself smiling and laughing at the smallest things whether around others or by myself and I wouldn’t have it any other way! ∙⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Recently, I find myself having the best belly laughs multiple times a day and I think it makes a difference in how I approach the day. I am happier, more carefree, hopeful, excited to make new memories, and dance incessantly💃🏼 ∙⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’ve realized how important it is to surround yourself with people who make you belly laugh and I can’t imagine a day without it 🥰 ∙⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What or who makes you belly laugh?

Is he a “Man at Work” or is he hardly working?! 🤔 ∙⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Old town Bratislava is filled with statues, but “Man at Work” is the most popular one, as he’s peeping above a sewer hole to check out all the people as they pass by. I couldn’t help but see things from his perspective! 👀 ∙⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ As much as I would love to travel full time, I am lucky to have a job that allows me the freedom to take off whenever I desire to. I have come to deeply appreciate where life has taken me and the opportunities I have, along with the immense freedom I am afforded. With this freedom, it allows me to dream about my next trip, whether near or far, and the ability to roam a city with pure contentment. 🛫🗺⛵️ ∙⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ How do you experience freedom?

Is this not the cutest cafe?! ☕️🍵 ∙⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I find that strolling the streets aimlessly, I tend to find the most adorable cafes and shops no matter where I am. This little spot in Sedona is one I will not forget. @thechaispot prepared the freshest chai tea I’ve ever tasted and had a view to match. Every corner of this store was cozy and picture perfect. ∙⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ On a hot summer day, a nice iced coffee or tea is exactly what you need. I tend to stick with iced tea later in the day, but love my cappuccino in the morning! ∙⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Are you a coffee or tea drinker?

I’ll forever be that girl that gets really excited when the sky is in pretty colors 🌅 ∙⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’ve always believed life is best lived being in the moment. It is important to live each day to its fullest, so I do what makes me happy and surround myself with those who make me smile. ∙⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ There isn’t anything I enjoy more than dancing around on a beach at sunset with those most special to me by my side 🧡 ∙⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What‘s your key to happiness? 🔑

DREAM without fear. LOVE without limits. ✨ ∙⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Laying eyes on some of the most fascinating landscapes in this world, puts things into perspective. There is no dream too big. There is no such thing as the impossible. There is no limit on love. There are only immense possibilities. 🌎 ∙⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I constantly dream about my next adventure⛵️, my next country, the next mountain to climb⛰, or the next body of water to swim in🏝. Love, however, I am forever filled with. Love for travel, new experiences, my pup, the life I’ve created, and those closest to me. 🥰 ∙⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Don’t ever forget to dream big and exude love, because they are infectious. ∙⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What’s something you dream about?

Be a reflection of what you’d like to receive✨ ∙⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I don’t need, nor require a lot. I strive for a simple life filled with people and experiences that make me happy. Travel, of course, is nearly a necessity of mine, but so is love, joy, and laughter. Finding people who fit into your life seamlessly and who can make you a better person is what life is all about, I think at least. ∙⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We sometimes need to take time to reflect on our lives to truly be grateful of those who have entered into it and for all the memories we have created. As I reflect, I couldn’t be happier with where I am at this current moment and all I have been able to see. 🥰 ∙⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Who or what are you grateful for? ✨

Veni. Vidi. Amavi. 💙⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We came. We saw. We loved. ∙⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I have traveled far and wide. I have had many lasting experiences and memories in my lifetime already. The one thing that always sticks with me though is how much I loved the experience, the city, the scenery, or even the people. 🌎 ∙⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s hard for me to pick just one travel experience that I loved the most, because I love them all...even those that caused minor injuries or illness. 🤒 No matter the memory, I love to reminisce about them all because that means I went and I saw things that I wanted to be apart of. You make your adventures what they are, so take the good with the bad because you’ll cherish them both equally. 🥰

Sometimes the most unexpected things in life come from the most expected part of your daily routine. ∙⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We often glance over the simple things in our day to day life, but they tend to be the most important or possibly longest lasting. They appear to us at a time that is most relevant and needed. ∙⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Most times, we just need to take a moment to stop and appreciate our surroundings more. From the people in it to the beauty of nature, they affect us more than we know. Sometimes an unexpected connection will spark or we offer to help those around us more when we open our eyes to what was there all along. 🥰
