Traveling Solo; How to be Bold and Take the Leap!

Instagram

With Memorial weekend and summer on the horizon I can’t wait to explore more locations domestically! Between exploring California and states near by, I hope to knock off a few places on my list over these next few months: . ☑️ Joshua Tree (CA) ☑️ Lake Tahoe (CA/NV) ☑️ Antelope & Grand Canyon (AZ) ☑️ Denver (CO) . Don’t mind the face 😄😗 #tbt to a few years ago when I visited ATL for the first time to see my cousin over the Memorial holiday. It was short but it was a great introduction to the city, visiting all the tourist sites. My aim is to always experience something NEW! A new state, a new city, a new dish or experience and long weekends are perfect for a quick getaway in state or out of state! . . What’s on your list? Are you a road tripper or flight catcher? I prefer catching flights but road trips under 3 hours aren’t too bad 😉🛩🚖 . . . #globebeyondyourself #thursday #travelhabesha #memorialdayweekend #roadtrip #longweekend #summeriscoming #joshuatree #atlanta #denver #laketahoe #antelopecanyon #explore #blackgirlmagic #domestictravel #travel #iamtb #blackgirlswhoblog #wegotoo #blacktravelista #blackgirlstraveltoo #girlsthatwander #dametraveler

🌴Adulting Saturday🌴 . Finally getting my car serviced today and seeing all my coins go to these parts and labor is annoying 🙄 not to mention 3 hours of my day! I mean I’m grateful to have a car out in these LA streets but I’d rather be sitting under a palm tree somewhere, enjoying a beautiful scene with an ocean view. Just sayin. . Guess I’ll have to wait...Hawaii in 3.5 weeks!! . Are you adulting today or putting it off for another day? I don’t blame you, enjoy the weekend! . . . . #globebeyondyourself #adulting #adultingsucks #saturday #weekend #hawaii #kauaihawaii #palmtrees #oceanviews #losangeles #california #carmaintenance #travel #iamtb

“If you’re not willing to fail, you can’t innovate. If you’re not willing to build a vulnerable culture, you can’t create.” -Brene Brown @brenebrown . Failure = Innovation Vulnerablility = Creativity . Wow two outcomes I strive for but it starts with being vulnerable and being okay with failure...the two things that are the hardest for me. . Having worked with innovative organizations I’ve learned that failure is inevitable and even encouraged in order to think outside the box. While this was and still is hard for me I truly feel like I’m in a season of being innovative...testing out new things in my current role and being OK with it not working out. Now that’s progress. . . On the other hand, I’ve always known myself to be a creative person but didn’t always identify with being vulnerable. In fact, I’ve been the opposite, often known to have walls up or being “a tough cookie to crack.” When I was younger I took pride in being this person, not easily letting people in or letting them get to me. But as I’ve grown I’ve learned this doesn’t help anyone and actually hinders my growth. I’ve put in some work around understanding vulnerability and being more open myself but it’s something that will always take work and daily practice. An added benefit to work on this is seeing that it will also help with my creativity, and I don’t want stunt that part of myself. . So where do you stand with failure and vulnerability? What has helped you begin to work on these areas (books, podcasts, etc). For me I started with Brene Browns book “the gifts of imperfection” to help my process of being more vulnerable. 🙌🏾 . Let’s share tools and progress so we can open up our innovative and creative selves ❤️ . Choose Courage over Comfort. . . . #globebeyondyourself #tbt #thursday #wisdom #innovation #creativity #failure #vulnerability #TLPicks #insidertravel #thediscoverer #browngirlbloggers #travelhabesha #travelnoire #iamtb #travel #blackgirlswhoblog #wegotoo #blacktravelista #blackgirlstraveltoo #girlsthatwander #dametraveler #passionpassport #ladiesgoneglobal #femmetravel #blackgirlmagic #fearless #eritrea #massawa #21ninety

“Risk is necessary for growth to occur” -T.D. Jakes, excerpt from his book SOAR. . Are you investing your gifts and talents wisely? We all have something to offer and grow but how many of us hold back out of fear or we’re uninformed or some other reason? . . Growth requires you to get out of your comfort zone! I don’t want to be so comfortable that my life becomes stagnant and this picture is a reminder of my trip to Iceland where I stepped out and took a risk even when I was a little scared and experienced a new place with zero plans. Check out the full blog post on my Spontaneous 24 Hours in Iceland (link in profile). . I just finished the book “Soar: Build Your Vision from the Ground Up” by T.D. Jakes which focuses on entrepreneurship and he was dropping all sorts of gems! I’ve only recently been entertaining the idea of entrepreneurship but in order to take the leap into this foreign concept I started feeding that which has been brewing on the inside, beginning with reading this book. . In order to keep moving and challenging ourselves we must take action by just starting somewhere and continuing to be a student and life long learner. . . What are you holding back out of fear? Whether in entrepreneurship, travel, or anything else, just take the first steps and be flexible with the journey!! . . . . #globebeyondyourself #entrepreneurship #friday #taketheleap #soar #tgif #adventure #travel #iceland #spontaneous #reykjavik #insidertravel #thediscoverer #fearless #tlpicks #travelnoire #iamtb #wanderlust #blackgirlswhoblog #wegotoo #travelblogger #blacktravelista #fearless #travelgram #dametraveler #passionpassport #ladiesgoneglobal #femmetravel #browngirlbloggers

#wednesdaywisdom 👉🏾 Practice empathy by putting yourself in someone else’s shoes, staying out of judgement, and loving on them! We’re all going through something so take the time to listen, talk less, acknowledge their feelings, and show up for them! . How do you practice empathy? Life’s too short to be without meaningful connections and as Brene Brown says, ”Empathy fuels connection”❤️ . . . #globebeyondyourself #empathy #wednesday #clogs #travel #connection #reflection #love #travelnoire #travelhabesha #blackgirlstraveltoo #TLPicks #insidertravel #thediscoverer #hardlyhome #travelislife #weworktotravel #blacktravelfeed #iamtb #blackgirlswhoblog #wegotoo #shoes #travelblogger #amsterdam #zaanseschans #dutch
