Want to know how I took my travels to the next level❓✈️🌎 . How I went from I wish I could travel more but these bills won’t let me live...to globetrotting at any chance I got...on my own dime at that... . It’s easier than you think. . I simply decided that travel was a priority and my actions followed. I saved my PTO days, started purchasing experiences instead of material things, and simply built in trips into my annual plans and goals ❤️ . In summary... “We create space in our lives for things that matter to us. How we spend our time and money reflect our priorities.” - Kat Harris @therefinedwoman 🙌🏾 . Another version of this is “show me your bank statement and I’ll show you where you’re priorities are!”. . Double tap if you agree! . . 📍Istanbul, Turkey 🇹🇷 . . . #globebeyondyourself #travel #whatmatterstoyou #timeandmoney #howtotravelmore #priorities #createspace #wednesdaywisdom #reflection #2020travel #istanbul #decidetoday #globetrotter #visitturkey🇹🇷 #travelblogger #blackgirlswhoblog #travelhabesha #travelnoire #dametraveler #iamtb #womenwhotravel #discoverer #insidertravel #therefinedwoman #blacktravelista #tlpicks

“Discovering what you don’t want is just as important as finding out what you do” - @elainewelteroth from her book @morethanenough ❤️ . Remember, there’s different levels of figuring it out. Each level brings it’s own set of challenges and so the process of “figuring it out” is constantly evolving. . . Enjoy the process and stay encouraged. #happymonday . . 📍Lake Atitlan, Guatemala . . . . #globebeyondyourself #discover #theresdifferentlevelstothis #hotelatitlan #lakeatitlan #quotes #discoverer #travelhabesha #travelblogger #blackgirlstravel #blackgirlswhoblog #iamtb #travelnoire #morethanenoughbook #guatemala #mondaymotivation #itsallaprocess #travelinspiration #lakelife #panajachel #blackvoyageurs #TLPicks #insidertravel #thediscoverer #blacktravelista #dametraveler

✨The lessons are just as important as the blessings.✨ Wise words from @luvvie . . What lessons did you learn in 2019?. . I learned that busyness does not equal productivity❗️👊🏾 . As a result I took the year to be still, clear my schedule, and yes even traveled less to allow myself to have margin (or the space) for the things that matter ❤️🙌🏾 . . . . #globebeyondyourself #thursday #lessonslearned #2019 #readyfor2020 #pacayavolcano #guatemala🇬🇹 #visitguatemala #busyisnotthegoal #productivity #blessingsonblessings #iamtb #blackgirlstravel #tbex #travelblogger #traveleatslay #createmargin #spaceisnecessary #travelhabesha #womenstravelfest #travelnoire #blackgirlswhoblog #hikingadventures #blackvoyageurs #TLPicks #insidertravel #thediscoverer #blacktravelista #dametraveler #tbt

“Life is a series of baby steps” - @hodakotb Story of my life!! . . I was not the girl that had a life long dream of being one specific thing as a grown up, which made it hard at times to pick a major or career. BUT I always had a next step, a baby step, that led me to my next adventure and for that I’m grateful. . As one step led to the other, they also naturally and progressively built off each other. Looking back I could see how each decision and step worked together for my good (insert @travisgreenetv song)! I think by knowing and focusing on my next step it allowed me to be flexible to opportunities as they came rather than sticking to one path I felt like I HAD to follow. . . Don’t get me wrong, some people know at an early age what they want to do in life and sometimes the steps for that path are rigid but in my case there are times when I’ve decided to go in one direction but when it doesn’t feel right I’ve allowed myself to pivot. . I think that’s why I enjoy hiking!! It’s literally one step at a time at your own pace, you can stick to the path you know or veer off and try a new one! My favorite place to hike in #losangeles is @griffithobservatory ❤️ you get beautiful views of the city, the Hollywood sign, and you can explore the observatory if you like. . Little by little life happens as you take each step! What’s you’re next baby step? I want to hear all about it! . . . . #globebeyondyourself #babysteps #hodakotb #lifeisaseriesofchoices #griffithobservatory #griffithpark #hikelife #hikinginlosangeles #hollywoodsign #latravelblogger #tuesdayquotes #blackgirlswhoblog #travelhabesha #travelnoire #visitlosangeles #girlsthatwander #traveltuesday #allthingsworktogetherforgood #lifequotes

So much can happen in a year, make it count!! . . 2019 is coming to a close but we still have 30 days to accomplish what we’ve set out to do! What can you tackle in the last 30 days of 2019 that will set you up for blessings in 2020? 🙌🏾 . Need some assistance in goal setting? I’ve been using the @yearcompass free downloadable planning booklet for years (available in Multiple languages) and it has helped me be more intentional about setting goals for my life!! Cop yours at yearcompass.com . . Not only does this booklet guide you through a methodical way of reflecting and assessing your previous year...wins and losses but it’s such a practical way to to create a plan, go back to it throughout the year, and then realize just how much you’ve done in 12 months at the end! I swear by it. . . As I reflect on 2019, my year of “Being Still” I’ve made progress on my fitness journey and financial goals!! I’m almost at my goal of being 100% debt free!! Whoop whoop! . . I can’t wait to use my @yearcompass planning guide and do it all over again for 2020, who’s with me??! Drop a 🙋🏾‍♀️ if you’re going to use it and then let me know how you liked it!! . . You can do this solo or with a group...I’m thinking of doing one with my friends in LA, like a vision board party minus the board lol. Tag a friend you want to do this with!! . Let’s get it! . . . . #globebeyondyourself #travelgoals #fitnessjourney #yearcompass #2019goals #goalsetting #iamtb #financialfreedom #planfor2020 #castyourvision #visionparty #newyear #lifeisanadventure #travelmore #girlswhoblog #yearplanning #bestill #freeguide #adventurer #blackgirlswhoblog #wordoftheyear #losangeles #losangelesblogger #traveltuesday

Have you ever visited a place and said, “I could live here”❗️🙋🏾‍♀️ . This rarely happens for me but upon visiting Amsterdam a couple of years ago I literally said those words. I absolutely loved it! A surprising feeling for me because of all the things I associated with the city before visiting and never had a strong desire to visit in the first place but it was so charming I couldn’t help but see myself living there. . I loved all the cute cafes, canals, and how everyone bikes everywhere, even in the rain!! And honestly the only downside is the weather for me, it’s just too similar to Seattle weather which is why I escaped to Los Angeles in the first place 😆. . . I’m not sure that I would actually up and move but it’s nice to know that there’s options of cities throughout the world that I can see myself in. When your vibe matches a city’s vibe its the perfect fit. The only other place I could see myself living in at the moment is San Diego 🤷🏾‍♀️ . . So, where do you currently live and what city or cities match your vibe to the point where you’ve said... I could live here!! . . . . #globebeyondyourself #cafe #cafehansengrietje #amsterdam #charmingcities #canals #coffee #netherlands #favoritethings #coffeelover #amsterdam_streets #matchmyvibe #wheretolive #losangelesliving #lablogger #dreamcities #rainycity #iamtb #weekendmode #netherlands #visitamsterdam #home #tbex #blackgirlswhoblog #iamsterdam #amsterdamfoodguide

Missing this view from @janshotelbelize on the peaceful island of📍Caye Caulker, Belize #tbt . Save this post if your looking for the perfect place to stay for an #unbelizeable getaway! Caye Caulker is a solo travelers paradise and Jan’s Hotel made my stay that much more effortless. How? They arranged my transportation, 3 different segments, for my entire stay and I just had to show up!! . . To start I had a driver waiting for me at the airport who took me to Belize City where I then caught a water taxi to the island. He gave me my pre-reserved water taxi tickets on the spot so I just hopped on the boat. And once I arrived to Caye Caulker (45 min boat ride), the hotel provided a courtesy pick-up via golf cart to the hotel. I mean this was the easiest transportation experience I’ve ever had! I recommend booking this beachfront hotel because of every detail they took care of for me while traveling #solo ❤️🙌🏾 . . For more on my trip, check out my blog post at “Caye Caulker, Belize: A Solo Traveler’s Paradise” at www.globebeyondyourself.com . . . . #globebeyondyourself #lablogger #travelsolo #janshotel #besthospitality #centralamerica #carribeansea #belize #sunset #paradise #islandtings #visitbelize #throwbackthursday #cayecaulker #peacefulvibes #travelgram #travelblogger #travelphotography #views #iamtb #solotravel #explorebelize
