Life gets busy, complicated, and blurry. It’s easy to look down, keep doing what we are doing and let time pass by. I’m not saying the answer is to quit our jobs and move to a far away island and drink mojitos for the rest of our lives. Lets face it, that’s not everyone’s happy place (Lord knows I’m not that kind of wandering soul). We all have different passions, goals, and moments that make us feel blissfully happy. We have the right to decide what our “happy place” is and how many of these we can have.

I realized I can’t feed my soul every day with extraordinary unique events, but I try to be aware of where I am, what I’m doing, and be present for it. I want to create stories and live everyday as an adventure. Whether I’m having a coffee with a friend, being stuck in traffic, biking, or exploring sandy Mexican beaches. It’s a state of awareness to enjoy the good, the bad, and the routine-like. It’s a reminder to keep exploring regardless of place, time, and money. Adventure is whatever you want it to be.
