Travelling opens up the windows of our perception and casts a larger net of understanding the universal human experience. When we are exposed to other cultures and people who function in a different way of life than we do, our belief system is shaken down and we rebuild with a new narrative.
Read MoreAstrotourism is a newer form of sustainable travel that has people leaving light-polluted cities to become “dark seekers” in remote destinations.
Read MoreMost of us are under the impression that we don’t have control of our lives. That random events coincidentally lead us to make changes based on the reaction of these events that we cannot explain or understand. While this may be true, we sometimes may not at first understand the reasoning behind these events ;
Read MoreTime is a strange thing. It may seem like it drags by, or it seems like it just passed by so fast we completely missed it when we were staring at it dead in the face.
Read MoreWhen travelling to new and foreign places we face many barriers. Sometimes it’s the food that may not agree with us. Or perhaps we are thrown into cultures and traditions that we have never been exposed to, forcing us outside of our comfort zone. Whatever it may be, we encounter an abundance of all things new. But one main obstacle that seems to separate us is this construct of language.
Read MoreMeditation consists of a series of practices intended to heighten awareness and ignite a deeper connection to oneself. It is a way of transforming the mind, using techniques like mindfulness, to achieve mental clarity and reach an emotional state of calmness. Reaching this level of inner peace comes easily to some, but for many of us, silencing the mind can serve as a challenge.
Read MoreThe most amazing thing about humans is that each of us are completely unique. With the exception of identical twins/triplets/so on, we each have our own genetic makeup, setting us apart from the billions of others on this earth.

Read MoreTechnology is fascinating and its evolution is even more mind blowing. Thirty-five years ago, Motorola released its first cell phone, and its size was just shy of a shoebox.

Read MoreAs women, we can confidently say that our looks play a role in our happiness. Whether we want to or not, we find ourselves trying to reach that unattainable goal of perfectionism. We hate to break it to you, but there is no perfect. This ideal woman that we seek, just simply doesn’t exist. Those women in the tabloids with zero body fat, straight teeth, luscious hair and seemingly always tanned skin are beautiful, but they are not perfect. Everyone has imperfections, everyone has flaws, and self-perception is one gateway to happiness. Confidence is the most beautiful thing that a woman can wear. So, why is that something we struggle with most?
Read MoreSomething that sets humans apart from most other animals is our sense of belonging. We have lived side by side since the beginning of time, which has led us to be remarkably social creatures. Belonging to a group provides comfort and stability by increasing longevity, and therefore improving our chance of survival. We are on a perpetual quest to find our tribe, but more often than not, our desires get the best of us.

Read MoreMorocco is the northern gateway to Africa, with each of its’ cities having uniquely distinct and diverse characteristics.
