Mexico City is a foodie dream!! SAVE this post for Mexico City is a foodie dream!! SAVE this post for a crash course 🍴

What I love about Mexico City is that not only can you find great international cuisine, you can also explore every inch of Mexico’s culinary scene - from tlayudas and mole to tacos al pastor and tortas ahogadas. Whatever you’re craving, you’ll find it here! 

Some of my favorite spots for first-timers: 
1. Merkavá | amazing Israeli food, beautiful location right in the middle of Avenida Amsterdam 
2. MO+F | come for the cheesy curry udon, stay for the endless variety of Japanese and pan-Asian cuisine at your fingertips 
3. Lardo | most famous for brunch, but gorgeous all day
4. Pizza Nosferatu | ridiculously good pizza and mezcal 
5. Quentin Cafe Miscelanea | This Quentin location has tasty breakfasts, like Georgian pizza - khachapuri! 
6. Pujol | Mexico’s culinary crown jewel that frequently tops the charts for best restaurants in the world (reservation is a must) 
7. Contramar | Next-level seafood and the best carajillo in town 
8. Taqueria El Greco | A cheap, fast, delicious street taco 
9. Churreria El Moro | Famous churro chain 
10. Cafebreria el Pendulo | Beautiful library coffee shop with tasty chilaquiles 

What else needs to be on this list? Do you love traveling to new cities for the food?

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..... 

📍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, quinceñera 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 📝

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 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I tell myself t So do it 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

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 🙌🏽 #OffDutyMindset

📍 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 🥹  If you've been to Oahu - do you recognize this island?
