The ability to travel, see the world, and go on vacation is not cheap, so I never went anywhere.
But last year, for the first time in my entire 37 years of life, I traveled! I went to Ecuador and the Galápagos Islands. I was immersed in culture. I ate amazing food, and even took a cooking class. I went snorkeling and swam with sea turtles. You know they say: nature is healing. Well, I hiked up and down volcanos to beaches, kayaked with dolphins, and it was amazing! I visited little communities and found different life values than my little community in Los Angeles, California. I have overlooked my own blessings and received a first real taste of reality, and it punched me in my face and left a hole in my heart, which hurt. What am I doing? I have running water, I have an over abundance of food, I have the freedom to wear, to say, to go and be and do whatever I want. I am more than just blessed. I am lucky. If you are reading this, you are also blessed and lucky. I first went on this trip to scout locations and activities for my LA-based fitness studio’s annual retreat to finding a bigger purpose on this planet. Yes, I know, I cannot save the entire world, but I, we- you and me- can make a difference. So as you come along and enjoy this amazing vacation to beautiful Ecuador and the breathtaking Galápagos Islands, just know that part of your proceeds will go directly to the people who are struggling the most.
