What are some of your "Ins" and "Outs" for the new year? 💛

Vulnerable Mom Moment incoming! 🫣

When walking around Lagos, we saw "cute 😀" tagged everywhere across the city. Josh noticed it first and when I saw this one, I really wanted a picture with it. 📸

Why? To remind myself that I am still cute. Even though I have stretch marks and my belly hangs a little looser than before I had Lil Nugg. Even though my wrinkles continue to grow, especially around my eyes and forehead. Even though my strong legs have pocks of cellulite on them. That in spite of these "flaws," I'm still cute. 🥹

That belly that hangs loose? It created and grew a whole-ass human being from nothing (and endured abdominal surgery and recovery). Those wrinkles growing around my eyes and forehead? They're there because of the smiles and laughs and expressions of concern and care for those around me and around the world. Those legs with cellulite? They have carried me all over the world, allow me to play soccer with my friends, hike up the sides of mountains, take daily walks with Nugg and Teddy. 💪🏼

So yeah, I'm cute! And reminder: you're pretty cute too. 💛

Are you ready?? Giving Tuesday is tomorrow!! 🎉

Giving Tuesday (the Tuesday after U.S. Thanksgiving) was started in 2012 as a way for individuals to do good and give back to organizations and causes who are making the world a better place. Personally, I love Giving Tuesday because it helps reset the focus on what the holidays are really about - connecting with people, generosity, and showing care for one another. 🫂

This year, I’m sharing five of my favorite international development or travel-related organizations and causes that are worth supporting. Read more at the link in our bio about the work they're doing and consider making a donation or volunteering to support their mission! 💖

If you know anything about me, you know I love to travel!

It all started when I left the United States for the first time at five years old and was quickly dubbed "Travel Lady" thereafter by our family friends. Since then, I’ve always loved learning about people’s stories, culture, values, and the way they live. I pursued degrees in Global and Intercultural Studies, worked in international development, and saved *allllll* my money for trips because I just couldn’t get enough. 

And why not?

Travel is fun! And eye-opening! And humbling! And a privilege. And a mechanism that can make or break communities, depending on how it’s done. 

Travel is something I think you should (and can!) do more of - and now, travel is something I’m leaning into as a professional career. 

Enter No Mean Adventures Travel Advising!

Over the last few years, I’ve given countless friends and family members advice and helped them plan their trips and vacations. I’ve blogged and posted here on social media about our adventures, lessons learned, and the good and bad of experiences while traveling. I’ve always been energized by this work and the opportunity to introduce people to new experiences and cultures. And at this crossroads in my career, I thought, “Why not just put yourself out there and see who else might be interested in this kind of travel consulting service?”

So… If you want to travel more - more sustainably, more thoughtfully, more joyfully - I’d love to help!

Hard to not "smile more" when you're in Lagos, Portugal! (lmk when you see it 😅)

Lagos is one of the most visited cities in the Algarve in the south of Portugal. It was easy to see why it's a popular destination to get away to - beautiful beaches, cobblestone roads, whitewashed buildings, cute restaurants and shops awaited us! We noticed lots of Portuguese and other European tourists - it's especially popular with British folks. Take a stroll through the old town, find a patio to sit and have some tapas or a drink on, and enjoy some people watching. Best way to spend an evening! 🫶

Bom dia from Lagos, Portugal! It may be November here, but the Algarve (the southern region of Portugal) didn't get the fall memo. And we are TOTALLY okay with that!
