Travel Advice from The Travel Mammal!

my blog

A bit about me: I am an eternal optimist who dreams big and tries to live every moment to its fullest. People who know me, know that I always have a smile on my face. I like to push myself out of my comfort zone and constantly try to learn new things. I am a writer, social media junkie, energy healer and Arbonne consultant who loves to travel, do yoga and go on adventures.

Being self-employed for almost ten years, I have learned how powerful taking care of yourself and having a positive mindset can be in creating success, happiness and balance. I want to share with you tips and things that I have learned in my personal journey so far that have inspired me and changed the way I approach life. Also, I plan to introduce you to some of the people I have met along the way that I admire and that I think are great examples of people that are pursing their passions.

Not only do I want to share with you the people, places, ideas and things that inspire me; I hope that you will be encouraged to dream big, create a life that you love and follow your heart.

Thank you for stopping by my blog – I hope you enjoy and are inspired by what you read!

I haven’t known Jim (a.k.a. The Travel Mammal) very long but we have become great friends in only a few months. Sometimes it actually feels like I have known him for years to be honest. As you will see in the vlog he created for me below, he is hilarious. I laugh every time I talk to him! I am a strong believer that people come into your life at a certain time for a reason and that is definitely the case with him. My family and close friends know that I am usually the person taking care of others and sometimes that means that I don’t take care of myself. In the few short months that I have known Jim, he has helped me realize how important it is to take care of me too. Because in order for me to really be there for others, I have to be healthy and take care of myself first. My favourite memory of this summer was actually going on a mini road trip to Cobourg and spending the day relaxing on the beach and wandering around the village. And if it weren’t for Jim, I wouldn’t have gone that day.

Jim created this vlog for me based on a few questions I sent him. As I said before, he is hilarious so I know you will enjoy listening to all of his travel advice and what inspires him!
