When the tourist crowds are so big you need to break away and check your hangry vibe. 🙏🏾 #ad

St. Augustine was one of the prettiest towns I’ve been to in the US — but pretty also means touristy, and touristy means lots of fudge, praline, and ice cream shops, pricey vending machines, and big crowds 😭. With a wedding around the corner and good health on my mind, I’ve been trying to avoid sweets / junk food, so I’m glad I was smart enough to pack some @kindsnacks along this road trip.

The Dark Chocolate Nuts & Sea Salt bar gives me the sweet I crave between meals without the sugar overload. It’s packed with almonds and only has 5g of sugar! #BLESSED

Have you been to St. Augustine? The beach in Anastasia State Park was amazing!

#ad Yes, this tiny trailer pops up into the tent camper we’ve been living in for 2 weeks while road tripping to the Florida Keys. It’s been a big conversation starter because many people haven’t seen such a thing before… Except for the O.G. RVers, who often started their RV lifestyle with an entry level pop up camper — they can spot a pop up from a mile away. When I saw this @_sylvansport tent trailer at the @gorving RVX event, crowds of people were hanging around it. Based on this, I should’ve known to allot about 15 minutes of enthusiastic conversation every time we reached a new RV park or campsite (and the occasional “cribs” tour) 🤣. #kickoffcamping https://izea.it/aBRBxQJ

Didn’t know what to do with my hands.

In Tulum you’ll find a number of art galleries and installations. For me, this was one of the few that didn’t feel like it was created for Instagram.

IK lab is a free gallery space with environmentally conscious design, open daily until 10pm. Only a select number of people are allowed in at a time (about 10, from what I saw) and you must go in barefoot.
.
No trees were cut to create this space, and it lives on stilts so that local wildlife can still pass through.
Feel the lined sticks and branches under your feet.
.
Observe the smooth, colder surface of the contrasting concrete. Graze your fingers along the varying textures of this treehouse-like structure, and use your senses to reconnect with the jungle elements that made Tulum so beautiful in the first place.
.
Directed by Santiago R. Guggenheim, a descendant of the famed art family, this earthly space is a welcoming contrast among the invasive Zona Hotelera de Tulum.
.
I highly recommend a visit! It is fairly small so a visit wouldn’t exceed 30 minutes. Have you/Would you visit this place?

So I’m getting married this month and that’s weird but exciting! Shout out to planner @eventsbymerida, my best girlfriends in ze vorld, loved ones, and my main squeeze @dettmusic for helping out and keeping me sane during the process. Now I remember why I quit my event planning career 😂.
.
Happily married folks, feel free to send your words of advice and encouragement.

Spotted a sea turtle in Akumal, Mexico despite low visibility, thanks to a few boaters who saw it surface for air. I got good look at it and cheesed harder than a 2nd grader on picture day (SWIPE for glee). I still remained a safe distance so as not to disturb its environment. .
It’s been a while since I’ve seen a sea turtle. Swam at sea in Belize ‘05 and ran into a couple, and then randomly experienced a natural hatching at a secluded beach in Costa Rica ‘15 (those dozens of hatchlings booked it to the ocean!)
.
Turtles are always seen as sacred — for centuries and across ancient cultures and folklore. After all, they’ve been around for 100+ million years. Whether as Turtle Island or a symbol of wisdom, prosperity, or fertility. If only they could talk, I’m sure they’d have much to tell of the stories long lost.
