Reflections on the Lake: Join us in Guatemala this New Years!

July 23, 2019

Pack your bags, notepads and Yoga mats. We’re going to Guatemala!

I am thrilled to announce that I’ll be co-leading another writing + wellness + wanderlust retreat over New Years! Mark your calendars for December 29-January 3.

My co-leader, Heather Suzanne, is not only one of my favorite Yoga teachers I’ve had the pleasure of working with, but among my dearest friends in the world.

We met each other at a retreat in Costa Rica in 2017 and immediately recognized a connection and compatibility for a deep, ongoing and profound friendship. As writers, yoga practitioners and international adventurers, it became pretty clear that we were destined to one day lead our own retreats and share our passions, perspectives and gifts with the world.

We are offering a chance to renew your outlook and begin 2020 with a restored sense of possibility and wellbeing, plus a new sense of direction, and trust in your own unique gifts.

Our mutual love for Lake Atitlan, Guatemala felt like a clear sign to both of us, that this would be the perfect place to host our gathering. The close proximity to the US, paired with its colorful and rich culture and beautiful scenery made this country an ideal choice.

Take a look at where we’re staying!

As someone who used to travel full-time, a lot has changed for me in the past few years. Pandemic aside, I’ve been more intentional about where, and how often, I travel. A big part of that has to do with finding beauty in what I used to view as mundane; things like a morning routine

Every so often, I write about a destination I haven’t been to. As much as I love recounting trips and sharing my experiences here on Bohemian Trails, I also love to dream; dream about people and places I’ve never crossed paths with. That’s the traveler in me, the explorer that believes in the magic of

My Favorite Caribbean Islands to Escape to This Winter

25 February, 2020 No Comments

Winter is in full swing, which means that there’s still time to plan that weekend getaway. An east-coaster from birth and having lived in New York for seven years, the Caribbean remains my go-to winter destination. In many cases, you’ll find direct flights (or nearly direct) and within a few hours, you are on a
