During an interview with a Yoga instructor for our Greece tours, I was asked what my yoga journey was? This began a train of thought, and I couldn’t quite verbalize at the time what Yoga meant to me. So I wanted to dedicate this blog to honor my story and to share with anyone who may be considering taking up a few minutes of Yoga each day.
In a society that tells us to hustle and bustle, I never realized how much I needed travel therapy until I started traveling. With each place I travel to, with new friends I make, I collect another piece of myself. I gain an entirely fresh perspective on the world.
Check out the following video we made of our recent trip to Lesvos, Greece! It was an unforgettable experience, to say the least!
I’m still riding the high of emotions, breath-taking views, and the delicious fried feta pies.

I remember us planning this trip, and being so excited to visit bourbon street! Sadly that never happened because we ended up having a short layover and we were too far from downtown to even make the attempt. We’ve since been there but I remember we were both disappointed that we didn’t make it out!
