When I first watched Julia Roberts in Eat Pray Love, I fell in love with all three locations where she ate {Italy}, prayed {India}, and found love {Bali}. Who wouldn’t want to take a year off to go on their own personal journey of self-discovery through Italy, India, and Bali! Eat: Italy During the first part of her journey, Elizabeth {played by Julia Roberts} spends her time in Italy exploring the beauty of this boot-shaped country, learning the language, and eating delicious food. “I wanna go someplace where l can marvel at something. Language, gelato, spaghetti, something.” Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat Pray Love […]

Wanderlust Wednesday: Bali

September 13, 2017 No Comments

Since “Eat Pray Love” came out in 2010, starring Julia Roberts as author Elizabeth “Liz” Gilbert, I have wanderlusted over the Indonesian island of Bali. The beauty of this island, as Julia Roberts rode around on her bicycle, drew me in from the very beginning. In March of this year, Bali was named the world’s top travel destination by TripAdvisor in it’s Traveler’s choice award. “Bali is a living postcard, an Indonesian paradise that feels like a fantasy. Soak up the sun on a stretch of fine white sand, or commune with the tropical creatures as you dive along coral […]

When wanderlust hits me, I tend to look at far away places like Paris, the Maldives, Cabo, Bali, Australia, London, Italy… Heck, I would just love to be on a beach somewhere soaking up the sunshine, digging my toes in the sand, and not having a care in the world. But recently, I have been looking at fitness and wellness retreats like New Horizon Escapes, and Canyon Ranch Resort & Spa in Tucson, Arizona. There are more retreats detailed HERE. Fitness retreats like these offer people the opportunity to get healthier, not to mention fitter, stronger, and hopefully happier. New Horizon Escapes […]

Wanderlust: The Beauty of India

April 20, 2015 3 Comments

The beauty of India can be seen in the architecture, the traditions, the culture, and the people of India. Movies like Marigold, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, Eat Pray Love, Slumdog Millionaire, and The Darjeeling Limited provide outsiders like me with a glimpse of the reality and the beauty of India. Photo Source: Bohemian Design on Tumblr India has many destinations for people who want to experience the culture and traditions of this country. One can enjoy an elephant ride up to the Great Amber (Amer) Hindu Fort and Palace, buy brightly colored saris and trinkets at the Anjuan Flea […]

My Week in Pins – Elephants

January 19, 2013 No Comments

I know what you’re saying… elephants? Yes. They are strong, beautiful creatures. Have you seen Water for Elephants, starring Reese Witherspoon and Robert Pattinson? If you haven’t, it is really a beautiful movie. But that’s not my point. Robert Pattinson cares for the elephant in a traveling circus and Reese trains and has an act featuring that strong, beautiful elephant. Anyway, here are the elephants… (Note: All pins are from Pinterest, and the original source has been cited.) When I saw this photo for the first time, I will admit it made me a little sad. Surely they can make an […]
