Hello, Fellow Travelers!
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but…
…there’s a sky full of stars out there. every. single. night.
And beaches full of sand. And oceans full of whales.

This is a “ballena” because it lives in Mexico.
This has been a tough week for many 🇺🇸s. It's reassuring to know there are places where we can find solace, gain perspective, and rediscover a sense of hope.
This weekend, some of my besties and I spent time off grid on a ranch in Cabo. We ate delicious food (not to brag, but one of my friends is a chef). We watched mom and baby whales play, we bonfired, and we sat on the roof for hours watching shooting stars.
It was just what the doctor ordered after a long and upsetting week.
If you’re feeling it, too, may I encourage that long-overdue communion with nature? You deserve it.
