Just a regular girl living on the beach in Maui dreaming of a far off, exotic destination. Most would say, being that I’m from Pennsylvania that this is it, the dream ✨, the exotic destination that Ive been dreaming of…yet I feel as if I haven’t scratched the surface.
…
Everyday I try to suppress my ego and be mindful to feel grateful in the moment but I can’t help but want more. More experiences, more love, more happiness, more freedoms, just more...
….
I guess what I’m trying to say is, it’s ok to want more. A wise person in my life always says, “you can’t get a bullseye without a target.”

So keep dreaming my friends and let’s not “wanting” more be thought of as such a selfish thing. It’s a necessary step to get to where you want to be.

↑ If I had to sum up the goal of life this would be it. A life to live unapologeticly, a life of freedom, independence and above all else happiness.

This weekend I felt that and I have no intentions to stop searching and working towards this reality. Drop an emoji if you feel me! 🙋‍♀️

Joe loves taking night photography. Here’s his latest capture. Sitting under the Milky Way really puts things in perspective. The daily stresses and lifes anxieties don’t seem so important when you are sitting under this big, bright sky.

Had the best time sneaking away to the other side of the island the other day. We drove the backway and stopped at a few places along the way including St. Josephs Church which was established in 1862!

Happy Halloween 🎃. Trick or Treat yo’ self, because everyone deserves it.

Putting in more of an effort lately on revisiting some of Maui’s gems. This is one of my favorite photos. I can’t wait to go back to Hana in a few days. 🌺💦
