Disconnect to Reconnect: 🧘🏾‍♀️ . Hey All, I’m disconnecting from social media and signing off for 21 days... starting today! #socialmediafast . Every year I do a Food Fast at the beginning of the year which helps to reset my body but this time I’m incorporating a Soul Fast which includes taking a break from IG and other social media to help reset my mind. Of course, there’s also a spiritual element to this which includes prayer, so it’s a total mind, body, and spirit fast but basically I’m limiting my distractions in order to get re-connected with God and become more aligned with my purpose. #disconnecttoreconnnect . I’ll miss ya in the meantime but don’t worry I’ll be back on January 26th and better than ever! #temporarilyclosed #spiritualmaintenance . . . . #fastandprayer #soulfast #danielfast #vision2020 #purpose #impactcity #limitdistractions #trustingod #announcement #latravelblogger #21daysofprayerandfasting

Casual Friday’s 👖☀️ . Well this is actually me dressed up since I work from home 😆 Success is when I get out of the house, have brunch, and then get my car washed! Happy Friday everyone! #remotework . . . . #globebeyondyourself #brunch #casualfridays #errands #toastbakerycafe #losangeles #workfromhome #midwilshire #tgif #katespade #latravelblogger #losangelesliving

2019 Year in Review: My Year of Being Still🧘🏾‍♀️ . Reflecting on 2019 I spent most of the year staying local in the U.S. 🇺🇸 and taking things slow. I got to see more of America and check off some beautiful places like Antelope Canyon and Lake Tahoe. And when I did go international it was to nearby countries, reducing my overall travel time 🙌🏾 Check out my recap below, travel doesn’t have to be exhausting if you build in time for rest! . . JAN: I started the year off in the #Motherland where I enjoyed time with family in #eritrea 🇪🇷 . FEB: Still recovering from my trip to Africa lol. 😴 . MAR: Solo day trip to Ojai, CA for my birthday! #soloadventure #ojaicalifornia . . APR: Quick getaway to Cabo, MX with my mama! #cabosanlucas #motherdaughtertime . . MAY: Girls Road trip to Joshua Tree, CA for Memorial Day weekend. 🚘 @heartatzen @chloe_tinou . . JUN: Kauai, HI with my girl @brendastar08 #hawaii . . JUL: Northern Arizona Road trip with pops where we visited the Grand Canyon; Horsehoe Bend; and Antelope Canyon. So much fun! #arizonaroadtrip . . AUG: Lake Tahoe R&R trip with the ‘rents. #southlaketahoe . . SEP: Guatemala with my girl @lizzy_loo over Labor Day weekend. . . OCT - DEC: Stayed put in LA; started a new workout routine with @donamatrixtraining and love it; and of course trips to Seattle for the holidays! . I hope 2019 was just what you needed and that in 2020 you’ll be able to reach new heights! Let’s go 2020!! . . . . #globebeyondyourself #2019 #yearinreview #exploreusa #travelmore #travelblogger #latravelblogger #travelhabesha #travelnoire #blackgirlswhoblog #happynewyear #blacktravelista #travelgram #girlsthatwander #dametraveler #femmetravel #blackgirlmagic #TLPicks #insidertravel #thediscoverer #iamtb

Well friends, we’ve come to the end of 2019! How are you closing out the year and ringing in 2020?? . Share your NYE plans below ... your girl needs some ideas! 👇🏾 . I’m usually not a fan of doing anything for NYE because I can’t deal with the crowds and trying to look cute when it’s freezing out lol. ... BUT ... This year I’m considering being social! Weather it’s doing something in Los Angeles or visiting a nearby city, lmk how you’re closing out the year! I need some #inspiration . . . . . #globebeyondyourself #tgif #happyfriday #newyearsplans #nye #celebrate #2020 #travel #losangeles #nyela #latravelblogger #holidayseason #ringinthenewyear #travelblogger #blackgirlswhoblog #lisbon #portugal #2020travels #makeplans

Have you ever rolled up in a Tuk tuk? . #tbt to my first time riding in a #tuktuk just a few months ago while I was in the small town of #panajachel in Guatemala. It was definitely the most convenient & affordable option in the towns that surrounded Lake Atitlan as UBER/Lyft were not readily available. . Quick story: on one of our rides into town our Tuk tuk driver was falling asleep at the wheel. I didn’t notice it at first but then I was like YO! wake up! I was scared for my life and mad at the same... we were riding on the edge of a cliff and I did not want to go out like that. Stay woke people! Literally. . So while most of our Tuk tuk rides were fine, please please be alert when traveling and make sure you stay safe. Swipe left to see actual video of our driver falling asleep 🤦🏾‍♀️ #tuktukchronicles . . . . . #globebeyondyourself #thursday #guatemala #lakeatitlan #transportation #staywoke #besafe #blackgirlswhoblog #travelblogger #dontsleepatthewheel #advice #centralamerica #traveladventure #wanderlust #girlstrip #visitguatemala #TLPicks #insidertravel #thediscoverer #travelhabesha #travelnoire #iamtb #sketchyrides #traveltips

Are you the type to play it safe? Does it scare you to step out and take a risk? . I’m super envious of people who take big risks so effortlessly. As adventurous as I might be in my travels, I’m still super risk-averse at my core. . I’ve noticed just how scared I am to do certain things, like invest or buy real estate, when I talk to risk takers and see just how differently our thought process is. . I mean, how can I be so fearless in one area and be slow to move in another? To make the risk less scary I ask lots of questions to make sure I have all the information I need but after a certain point we just have to JUMP and act on that thing we’re scared of! . . So, what have you been contemplating for a long time and have just been too scared to pull the trigger? . . Sometimes we just have to pull the trigger on things and figure it out as we go. Tag your risk-averse friend who needs to hear this and lets encourage one another!! . Shout out to my girls who took me to the gun range so I can learn to pull the trigger more 🔫😩 No for real, this was something I wanted to try for a long time and finally got to thanks to @brendastar08 and I know now it’s not for me 😄🤷🏾‍♀️ . At least I tried something new! #globebeyondyourself . . . . #laxfiringrange #gunrange #bucketlist #trysomethingnew #birthdayexperience #tgif #pullthetrigger #idontlikeguns #losangeles #thingstodo #lablogger #takerisks #fridaymotivation #blackgirlswhoblog #jumpandfigureitoutlater #riskaverse #befearless #laadventures #blackgirlmagic

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
