My first black sand beach in Maui, Hawaii. On our way towards the road to Hana, we stopped on this small beach for a leg stretch. To my surprise, I picked up the sand by my feet and noticed it was completely black. Surprised and unexpected, I seemed to have been the only one excited about a beach which wasn't layered with golden sand. 😂 (at Maui, Hawaii)

The abundance of coconuts and tropical fruits in Hawaii are one of the most special qualities which I love about the islands. Here is a freshly cracked open coconut bought off the side of the road from a man who proclaims he is the real "coconut man", and that every other man down the street is an imposter. Has anyone else come across this man in Maui? 🌴 (at Maui, Hawaii)

Since I was young, I've always wanted to skydive. So much, I decided to save my first experience for Hawaii. I remember taking my first jump out of the plane, and feeling the rush of adrenaline as we were free-falling through the sky. Once I gained my composure, the view overlooking the ocean and mountains was absolutely breathtaking. I know everyone is different, but I always recommend to save that special first dive for somewhere incredible and unforgettable. Oahu was such a dream to finally check skydiving off my bucketlist. ✔️ (at Oahu, Hawaii)

Sunsets, piño coladas, good company, and the perfect table by the stage could not have made this night any better. Such great memories and the best first Luau experience. ❤️ (at Maui, Hawaii)

We look RIDICULOUS, but that's baby Phil and I five years ago. Still back when wrapping our arms around each other for a photo made us blush. ☺️ #notreally We both dressed very casually for a quite luxurious Luau on Thanksgiving dinner, but it's simply because Phil owned nothing but flip flops, shorts, and surfer t-shirts, and I had everything stolen and wore the only clothes I had. Regardless, we both had an amazing time. 🌺 (at Maui, Hawaii)

Soft golden beaches with stretches of water further than the eye can see, I still dream of going back someday and diving through the warm waves and sipping fresh coconuts from palm trees like it was just yesterday. 🌴🌊 (at Maui, Hawaii)

Do you remember your first time traveling? Mine was to Hawaii, to meet a friend who was studying in Oahu then another friend (who is now my long-term boyfriend) in Maui. I've always dreamt of traveling to Hawaii as my first destination. Little did I know, it would be one of the most pivotal times of my life. Four days into my two week trip, I had my entire luggage bag stolen and learned the value of minimalism. I got to travel with somebody new, and later that person became someone who I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. This feature throws back to five years ago when this crazy journey all started, and I am so excited to share the stories of one of my favorite places with you all. ❤️ 📷 Photo taken at Waikiki Beach in Oahu, Hawaii (at Waikiki, Hawaii)

What I love about travel is the people you meet who change your perspective on life. So often do I encounter couples, single women and men, or even young adults who chose to embark on an unconventional path and follow their passions even if it meant a life of instability, unknown, and perpetual adventure. To the man who owns this kiteboarding shop and travels the world searching for the best winds, to the married scuba couple who decided to sell everything in England and open a dive shop in Zanzibar for a semi-retired life, to the adventurous rafting guide in Zambia who traveled the world working for multiple companies and riding the craziest rapids, and to so many more...you are all so inspiring to me. You are all the embodiment of "just do you". (at Zanzibar, Tanzania)

Still learning how to not land on my face while kiteboarding, but thankfully I didn't step on a sea urchin! (at Zanzibar, Tanzania)

Fifty shades of blue. 💙 (at Zanzibar, Tanzania)

A gorgeous view from our balcony in Zanzibar. I could sit here all day and watch the fishing boats cruise by as the tides come in and out. (at Zanzibar, Tanzania)

Life is all about perspective, growth, and knowledge. If you could see the eyes through any human being, who would it be? Mine would be the Dalai Lama or Mahatma Gandhi. 💛 (at Zanzibar, Tanzania)

Quaint and minimal, but I could live here forever. 😍🌊🌴 (at Zanzibar, Tanzania)

Dusty skin and tangled hair, it felt so good to finally arrive in Zanzibar after 17 days of safari and camping around Kenya and Tanzania. P.S. I've been posting an unnecessary amount of photos from my recent trip to Japan on my personal account @jadorejourney. Check it out! ❤️ (at Zanzibar, Tanzania)

Is anybody in San Diego, CA? There's an awesome event happening TOMORROW hosted by @passionplanner and they're giving away FREE Passion Planners!

I wish I could make it but I'm just a little too far north in California, but have an amazing event @angeliatrinidad! ❤️ - After an incredible spice tour in the forests of Zanzibar, we watched patiently as this man climbed to the top of a coconut tree and cut down a couple coconuts with a machete knife. This, ladies and gentlemen, is my kind of man. 🌴 (at Zanzibar, Tanzania)
