Hi! I’m Michelle and this is my story! I fell in love with traveling and travel photography when I was a kid. In my 20's I started solo backpacking. Later, I was trapped by corporate America and lost track of my passions. Now, in my 40's I've left the corporate life and have rekindled my adventurous spirit. I love backpacking, yoga, fitness, and the amazing people I meet around the world! Please follow me for love and inspiration!
My final chapter for SE Asia for now :-). I relaxed, exercised, saw friends, and took in the city in a new way. There we so many unexpected surprises and so many happy moments in this crazy city I've grown to love.
Wow, how time flies. I can't believe I was in Phuket for a whole month. I saw many things from beaches to markets in the Old Town, finally attended the yoga retreat I've been looking forward to for months, and had my first visitors form the US!! Read more to see the pics and learn more! Cheers!
I spent a week exploring Koh Yao Noi and Koh Yao Yai. I had fun on my scooter, found some beautiful beaches, and discovered the amazing crab sand art! Come along and relax in the sun.
I spent 10 days doing in a volunteer position in exchange for room/board at Bananas Bungalows at Thalane Bay in Khao Thong, Thailand. I had such a great time hanging out with the guests, island hopping, kayaking, practicing yoga, and most of all being entertained by the monkeys. I hope you have fun with this one too!
I spent New Year's 2023 in Khao Sok National Park in Southern Thailand. I spent time exploring the jungle and the beautiful lake full of limestone cliffs before dancing the night away in a cool little jungle bar!
Just a few days to regroup in Krabi before moving on to Khoa Sok National Park for some hiking and lake adventures. I loved this cute little town and enjoyed the downtime after the islands!
A short Christmas holiday on Koh Phangan with a crazy yoga retreat! A bit exhausting, but glad I checked it out!
A quick 3 nights on Koh Samui turned into....? Read on to learn why and see some amazing sights, a water fight, and much more!
An extra week in Bangkok was what the universe offered, and I accepted! It was just what I needed to learn from an amazing Guruji and calm my mind from the past few months. I found some beautiful, unexpected sights just by picking spots on the map and taking long walks to find them!
