[Travel Diaries from El Salvador | March 2019]
This year’s lunar new year celebration was so nourishing and heartwarming, from the video conference with my cute parents and the giant 9-course Vietnamese dinner party, to the guided group meditation, photo-booth antics, and lunar new year themed team trivia (there was a very organized schedule, don’t worry).
A picturesque historical town set high in the Andes with 16th-century cobbled streets, terra cotta tiled roofs, whitewashed buildings, and the biggest and oldest plaza in Colombia.
Villa de Leyva, you’re a dream.
so happy to be back in this place of refuge //
three special days in one of my favorite places on earth //
by far the most inner peaceful and grounding old and new year celebration I’ve ever had //
wishing all of our loved ones that same inner peace and grounding this year. <3
And then there are days in SE Asia when you have to create a last minute youth development photography workshop on the fly.
(Here are some of the photos I took during our workshop.)
A few things about my most recent trip to Angkor Wat:
1. My tuk tuk driver got the memo that I’d rather be alone in Angkor Wat as much as possible and took me on a different route that would avoid most of the foot-traffic. For example, he brought me to Phnom Bakheng for sunrise (there was noone there) and got me to the Bayon first, and the silent and solo bliss is 100% the best way to experience the beauty and magic of Angkor Wat.
