First trip of 2023 photo dump ✨ 2nd time in Gua First trip of 2023 photo dump ✨

2nd time in Guadalajara after spending an incredible month here in 2021. I'm so happy here. And now that I've seen all the 'must-visit' sights I've simply spent the week working, eating (SO much good food!!), and enjoying amongst other things..... 

πŸ“Photos taken in the historic Zona Centro of Guadalajara where you'll find the most spectacular architecture and dizzying vignettes of daily life - street performers, families, couples on first dates, quinceΓ±era photoshoots, and food vendors. It's chaotic and amazing. Best view of the Guadalajara Cathedral (though an ehh menu and ehh service, in my honest opinion) can be found at the DoubleTree rooftop πŸ“

Have you heard of Mexico's 2nd largest city? #OffDutyinMexico
Irrationally or not, one of my biggest fears is re Irrationally or not, one of my biggest fears is regret. 

I never want to look back and think I made the wrong choice, or missed out (oh the life FOMO is all too real and lives rent-free in my head 24/7, nonstop). 

But instead of letting it consume me, I try to let it propel me forward. I am so grateful for this life and the opportunity to learn, to change, and to only keep what serves me best. This life isn’t about having or not having, it’s about choosing or not choosing. Aligning with what serves you. Allowing yourself to be curious enough to grow. 

And so over time I’ve learned that I’ll only regret something I didn’t try. And that the trying itself - even if I fail - is a great adventure in itself. 

*Excerpts from a Keep note I wrote late at night while traveling in Lebanon (and some sneak peeks in this video from our trip!).

If you want to travel to Lebanon with me this year, head to the link in my bio and join the waitlist!! Working hard to make sure it’s an incredible experience 😊 and I can’t wait to travel with you!

So do it πŸ‘πŸ½πŸ‘πŸ½πŸ‘πŸ½ I tell myself t So do it πŸ‘πŸ½πŸ‘πŸ½πŸ‘πŸ½

I tell myself this so often because it's true!

Slow down and get to know the person you are, outside of the person you think you need to be. What does she want to do? What fuels her joy? What bogs her down or holds her back?

You get to choose whether to listen. 

You get to choose whether to follow your thoughts. 

What a beautiful thing, to be able to choose. And at the end of the day, to be able to wake up the next and choose again πŸ™ŒπŸ½ #OffDutyMindset

πŸ“ Some fun drone / camera footage from an epic mini adventure over the holiday break. The sun finally came out to play after a big storm passed by the islands and I rented a kayak immediately so we could drive up the road and explore πŸ₯Ή  If you've been to Oahu - do you recognize this island?

5 honest reflections from 5 years [SAVE + SHARE] 5 honest reflections from 5 years [SAVE + SHARE] 

If you're reading this, I hope 2023 is your year of 'yes!'

Sometimes when I'm feeling shitty or unfocused on this platform, I remind myself why I got so fired up about work & travel in the first place.

It was because of all the times my worth in the workplace was determined by no other achievements than my literal "butt in seat."

It was because I felt hurt when people would literally screenshot or forward my social media posts as proof of slacking off (when a real one knows my social media posts are always planned in advance πŸ€ͺ).

It was because of the very first DM I ever received from someone telling me they feel 'stuck' because their job doesn't let them also be a person, and were inspired by my posts reminding her that's not the way it has to be.

Swipe through to see my honest reflections from the past ~5 years. If there's one thing i learned (and it goes WAYYY beyond just traveling), it's slide #2 ➑️➑️➑️

Save and share this with someone that needs to hear it! #RachelOffDuty #OffDutyMindset #WorkAndTravel
