reunited with Huxley! here we are in front of the coffee shop that Gus and I went on our ~first date~ at almost 10 years ago. Huxley spent the last month with my parents in Santa Cruz while I was traveling. I know you missed seeing his lil face in my Stories, but he’s back now!

I wore a flower crown for two days straight in San Miguel de Allende.🌹 in hindsight, back in the gloom of Seattle, it occurred to me that I have a tendency to do things that I might consider “out of character” when I travel, and maybe that’s why I love traveling so much. I use the flower crown example with the caveat that it was a common “tourist” item in the old city of San Miguel. even so, it felt... freeing to be a different version of myself. not that I intend to regularly wear crowns of any variety, but the feeling of liking how I looked in a flower crown and leaning into how it felt to wear a bright red dress and a flower crown—confident, bright, like a spectacle, like people could stare at me when they walked by (but not in a creepy leering way)—for the first time in a long time, I wanted to feel like that. I’ve been hiding for a long time, using fashion (i.e. dressing in all black) as a shield from the world, and in how I present myself in the world. I’m ready to stop hiding from myself. I’m ready to be ME again. and if that involves a flower crown sometimes.... well, so be it. . . . . #travelmexico #girlslovetravel #sanmigueldeallende #sanmiguel #sanmiguelallende #mexico🇲🇽 #girlstravel #girlstraveldiary #traveldiary #reddress #leatherjacket

when I posted this selfie on my stories a few days ago, I got a bunch of DMs about how relaxed and happy I look. when we arranged this vacation almost a year ago, I was scared to travel. I’ve been in treatment for Crohn’s disease and severe depression, so the idea of being out of the country for almost three weeks lead me down a path of anxiety. but you know what happened instead? I had an incredible time. I reconnected with my husband Gus, I laughed, I ate lots of tacos, I spent lots of time outside, I walked a lot, I went whale watching and saw the moon in a telescope, I watched fireworks over a 200 year old church, I went to our family reunion, I wrote in my journal a lot, and I SMILED. I’m hoping to channel this energy in 2020 because right now, as I type this in the back of an Uber, I feel pretty good. cheers.

leaving Mexico today. with careful consideration, I decided I would like to stay. . if you go to sayulita, don’t miss this beach!!!! you have to walk through a graveyard to get here but it’s worth it. . . . . #sayulita #visitmexico #playadelcarmen #vamosalaplaya #letsgotothebeach #beachday #beachdays #laplaya #playa

the lunas on vacation ☀️😀 I think I’ve been smiling for two weeks straight with this guy by my side. . we’re in Puerto Vallarta on the last leg of our vacation for a family reunion. Gustavo’s family is giant—his mom comes from a family of 15 who began their life on a small farm in Michoacán, Mexico. learning the history of the family, the sacrifices they made to move to the US, and meeting some of the family I’ve never met before was so moving. . I don’t come from a big immediately family; it’s just my parents, sister and I, two aunts, and an extended family through marriage or distant cousins. being a part of this new family and seeing how deeply connected they all are is one of the biggest joys of my life. I feel so lucky to have married into such a wonderful family.

helpful words to know while traveling in Mexico: buenos dias = good morning buenos noches = good evening/night donde esta el baño = where is the bathroom? esta bien = it’s okay no hablo español = I don’t speak Spanish lo siento = I’m sorry puedo tocar tu perro? = can I pet your dog? mas tacos por favor = more tacos please . . . #sanmigueldeallende #visitmexico #traveltheworld #girlslovetravel #flowercrown #reddress #leatherjacket
