Living life with our eyes wide open💛. • On #OurLongRide is where Chris and I realized the change we needed in our lives. The move from NYC, where we traded an epic skyline for epic nature. I like to think I soaked up every moment the city had to offer while I called it home. Now I’m drinking in every moment our new glorious backyard provides. Colorado, you sure are beautiful.

It’s 20 degrees outside so I’m bringing it back to when, only a day ago @beaulitfulcon, I could exist in short sleeves. Also this van is adorable and had me nostalgic for #OurLongRide. More to come on all that later, though 🙊😁💕#changein2019 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs-tTFNg7mh/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1pyaa72m2msyk
Awoke still in the fog of a head cold🤒, but will try to push out a little bit of writing today💻. Looking through pictures from #OurLongRide for inspiration for a particular mist covered scene 🌊. And our early morning moments along the beaches desaturated in clouds of Brookings, Oregon is exactly perfect. #amwriting #TheMousaiSeries (at Brookings, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsA5k9KgaqN/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=5xp0tps3rj6g
BIG NEWS: We’re moving! To Colorado 😱🏔🧡!!! • If you’ve been here since #OurLongRide, this might not be coming as that big of a surprise. Living the #vanlife was truly transformative and it brought a much needed perspective to our lives and what we want our now and our future to be. Still, it was not a quick or light decision. I’ve been a New Yorker for the past 12 yrs. This has been my only home since graduating college. I grew up in this city. Became a working professional. Started my writing career here. Met lifelong friends. Bought my first home. Met my husband. I’ve been endlessly inspired to create, work, achieve. But as the saying goes, and one I truly believe: If you can make it in New York, you can make it anywhere. • I’ll be moving farther from my parents, but closer to a sister. MUCH closer to the outdoors and a lifestyle Chris and I believe we can expand in. I’m really excited about this new chapter!!! • So if you live near or around the Denver/Boulder area, hi! Hello🤗! Come March, I’ll be your new neighbor🥰. (at Brooklyn, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtOKBtaATnB/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1xmu8w1vwiuny
When in real life doesn’t feel like real life. • We’re only on day 3 of #OurLongRide and my mind is already overflowing with writing inspiration for #TheMousaiSeries. Each day we wake early to leisurely mosey and explore and each night we drive until sleep taps us on the shoulder. Pulling into the closest campground only to wake to a surprise landscape bursting through our windows. • We are so obsessed with our @nativecampervans, dubbed Vanis Joplin 😂. It is so cozy, and adorable with absolutely everything we could think to need. It has made this trip 100x more convenient, with a nook of a kitchen and bed right in the back to roll into whenever we need to catch some Zzzzz. Highly recommend checking them out if ever you’re in the need for an adventure! (at Arches National Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnbNNN3nvuN/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=7oneiqzwo6wu
Plant yourself in soil that helps you glow ✨. • It was a pretty amazing weekend to be back in the exact van Chris and I took on our honeymoon, our dear #VanisJoplin💙. It’s no exaggeration that our experience with @nativecampervans on #OurLongRide was a HUGE reason why we moved to Colorado. We fell head over heals for this state and it’s beauty and are so grateful we live here now. That we get to have weekends like this more often🙂. • If you feel stuck or stagnant with where you are, I 100% have been there. It might seem scary, but making that dream move, taking that chance, or reaching for what you want, might leave others behind, but you will glow so much brighter no longer standing in that shadow of doubt🙌✨.

Sometimes it’s the side roads, the unexpected turns, that lead you to the best places. • Coming home to NYC after #OurLongRide has definitely put a lot in perspective. Patience being one of them. I admit to previously being very bad with this. Not enjoying the now. Always thinking about what’s next. But after standing alone on outstretched roads, mountain tops and curling ocean coasts, smelling the earth waking up around me, experiencing the magic of it—I’m able to dig up that zen. I’m able to retrace the importance of living in a tiny van, often times in the middle of nowhere, and how peaceful it was. The sensation of feeling firmly planted in the soil while my mind flew free. I find I can pause better, regard better and listen. Because life already moves incredibly fast, no need to wish it to go by faster. And though we will surely find moments that drag, seconds that feel like hours as we wait for good news, bad news, or an adventure to begin, we have to remember that in the precipice of time is where memories are made.

Simple morning rituals☕️📖❤️. • It’s funny how adaptable we can be. Living in NY, Chris and I are already used to small living, but it has been eerily easy to feel at home in our @nativecampervans. It being adorable and perfectly outfitted doesn’t hurt ☺️, but it just proves “home” can be on the go and wherever happiness and a loved one is ❤️. #OurLongRide https://www.instagram.com/p/Bnoi6_nnZKm/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1v363wikmn9xx
