I wrapped up my Yoga Teacher Training course back in February; I have now left Thailand and am in Mexico with a yoga studio within walking distance that offers Vinyasa, Rocket, Ashtanga, Mysore, Aerial, Yin, and others. Since I’m finally healed enough to get back into a regular yoga practice - it is bringing up memories of my month spent at teach training. My final thoughts are centered around a couple of items: a personal and daily yoga practice and confidence.

After exactly 4 months here in Thailand, I am leaving today to go back to the western hemisphere (but not the US, yet…). We are Mexico bound!

I’m halfway through my 28-day Yoga Teacher Training Course - which is both exciting and sad. I have been thinking of doing this course for more than 2 years now and while I expected it to be “life changing”, it is, but in a way I didn’t expect.

It’s 8:33 pm PT and I’m a fourth of the way to London from San Francisco, en route to my favorite city in the world: Bangkok. I’m watching the Bourdain documentary – it makes me feel the way that Asia does. Curious, dangerous, sweaty, loud.

We are headed to Thailand on December 2nd! I was supposed to leave the country on March 20th, 2020; 613 days and a global pandemic later - I’m leaving and Parker is joining!

Everything you need to find and buy a built out campervan.

It’s been almost 3 months since I’ve slept in any bed except for the full-size in the van. While I haven’t been solo this entire time, the amount of solo time that I have spent in the past 3 months has been more than any other time in my life.

I wish I could go back and pinpoint the first time I learned about van life. It feels like something that would be imprinted on me….but for whatever reason, it’s not. I’m going to try and explain why I decided to move into a moving vehicle.

One of the most ever-present feelings I’ve had since buying the van is guilt. You’d think it would be excitement, or nervousness, or terror (or for you city-dwellers…fear of never showering again). But nope, it’s been guilt.

We drove four hours east from Ontario, OR (where we picked up the van) to make camp for the night. I used a combination of the iOverlander app and FreeCampsites.net to find a free public land campsite for the night and it was a beauty!

Since the van was in Oregon, I had to drive there to pick it up! It was about 13 hours from Denver so I knew I didn’t want to do 26 hours of driving alone so my friend Alex joined me!
