I feel God in this Chili’s tonight.

Today I had my very last class @uofnm. I started taking classes here ten years ago. It’s been so long that it’s still hard to believe it’s all over. For better or worse, this place has significantly shaped my life’s direction. There’s a lot I’ll miss about this place, but I leave with an immense feeling of satisfaction and gratitude for the relationships I’ve cultivated here. Leaving is definitely bittersweet, but I’m happy seeking out new adventures knowing that I’m walking away from UNM with the love and friendship of so many people, countless lessons learned, and innumerable memories to cherish. 🥰 #unm #university #movingforward (at The University of New Mexico - UNM) https://www.instagram.com/p/COjU_hIlsgH/?igshid=vwiihrplcuzw

Paris et moi, on a une relation compliquée. Mais parfois la France me manque tellement que mes yeux s’emplissent de larmes, à mesure que les plus beaux souvenirs me reviennent à l’esprit. ♥️ 🇫🇷 😢 (à Paris, France) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtKCVggHCwA/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=gm84hspa9mtv

I’m having a hard time saying goodbye to 2018 tonight, and I think it’s because this past year represented a massive shift in my life and my perspective on what matters in life. I’m so grateful to have people I consider family around the world. Thank you to everyone who made every day of 2018 worth living. From my lovely France crew to my wonderful family and lifelong friends here in the US, you have made this year as amazing as I could have hoped. It makes sense that these would be my top nine photos of 2018, as they all represent unforgettable experiences with the people that mean the most to me. I love you all to bits. Happy New Year 🥳 ♥️ #onwardandupward #goodbye2018 #topnine (at Albuquerque, New Mexico) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsFdF4FHeZC/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1hwkbkhdz9wk6

Imagine being lost wandering around in this area and suddenly seeing this thing on the horizon. ⛪️ ⛰ 🌊 The goats say hello. 🐐 #montsaintmichel #horizon #distance #champ #field #goats #chèvres #normandie #normandy #france (at Mont Saint-Michel) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpEQtmwHA6b/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=2geqqil7qqr7

Lake Geneva (Lac Léman) shoreline. Gorgeous water, hope it stays that way. In the background you can see construction where they’re building a huge waterfront recreation area with a beach. 🏖 🏝 🏔 🌊 #plage #shore #auborddulac #lacléman #lakegeneva #genève #geneva (at Lac Léman, Genève) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpEOAWfn08_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=16uzkwi1wz1uu

Shot of the glacier from above, snaking its way down the mountain like a weird frozen worm. This was taken from the longest set of stairs I’ve ever seen (or climbed) in my life. Seriously, those stairs are legendary. 🏔 🌲 🌳 🏔 The mountains are pretty too. 🏔 🌳 🌲 🏔 #alpes #merdeglace #chamonix #france #hautesavoie #montagnes #mountain #glacier (at Mer de Glace) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpENaY2n91c/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1q8m2qhkuoow8

Close-up on an artfully backlit wall of ice carved from inside a glacier slowly making its way down a mountain. Humans are so weird. ❄️ Btw, you should have SEEN the series of stairs we had to climb down to get to the glacier. Was ready to be airlifted out halfway back up. #iceicebaby #icecave #merdeglace #chamonix #france #alpes #hautesavoie #glacier (at Mer de Glace) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpEM0MVHOjq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1xwsa1kcznfwc

If Paris has the empire of death, Chamonix has the empire of ice. ⛸ ❄️ 😎 Well technically it’s called the “sea of ice” but you know, #samesies 🌊 ❄️ 🏔 #merdeglace #chamonix #glacier #france #alpes #hautesavoie #alps #mountains (at Mer de Glace) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpEMbIgH4WT/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1nyvutj6z28ke

“Stop! Here lies the empire of death.” No shortage of drama in France, then. 💀 💀 💀 🇫🇷 #paris #france #catacombes #empiredelamort #souterrain (at Les Catacombes de Paris) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpEJFXHnbmp/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=109qzjbn1kr9o

Wandered around Barcelona today. My meandering brought me to the end of La Rambla where the promenade offers views of ships and sailboats doing their thing in the port and the marina. ⛵️ 🚢 🌊 ☀️ 🇪🇸 #barcelona #spain #catalunya #sailboat #portofbarcelona #marina (at Barcelona, Spain)

Watching the tides come in on the Brittany coast. 👌🏻 🌊 ⛅️ #brittany #lamanche #englishchannel #bretagne #france #stmalo

I love all the little streams and creeks that form on the beach and flow down to the sea when the tide is low. 🏖 🌊 ⛅️ #stmalo #plagedubonsecours #beach #lowtide #ramparts #brittany #bretagne #france #lamanche #englishchannel (at Remparts de Saint-Malo)
