Wheels Up!

OH MY GOD IT'S HAPPENINGGGGGG!!!! I'm at SFO and am sitting waiting for my flight surrounded by an amazing number of middle aged women doing tai chi and various other exercises before our 14 hour flight to Taipei... maybe I should join them? Orr maybe I should just keep drinking my wine on the floor of the airport and hope for the best :) 

My next 24 hours look like this:

  • 14 hour flight from San Francisco to Taipei
  • 2 hour layover where I'll be trying to eat as many noodles as possible
  • 3.5 hour flight from Taipei to Bangkok
  • 3 hour layover in Bangkok
  • 1 hour flight from Bangkok to Koh Samui
  • Somehow find a ferry from Koh Samui to Koh Phangan
  • Arrive at All Yoga Thailand FINALLY :) 

We'll see how all of this goes. I'm about to be real jet lagged, real sleepy and super loopy... so get ready for some fun blogs :) See y'all in Thailand!!! 

 

Leaving On A Jet Plane! T-4 Days!!!

Oh man - I am so excited to finally write my first blog post! To bring everyone up to speed and to introduced myself to those who don't know me...

My name is Lauren - I'm originally from Michigan, went to college in Miami (go 'canes!) lived in Chicago for a while and have finally settled in San Francisco. I have a fantastic husband, Dave, and a sweet pup named Huey Lewis... honestly... he is so cute... his ears are the biggest things on earth :) I've worked as a teacher, at the Make A Wish Foundation and most recently, at a few start ups in SF. I love to travel, adore yoga, love dogs more than most humans, and wine is my favorite thing.

 Over the past few months a few things happened:

  • I decided to quit my job of 2 years at a super cool but very stressful start-up
  • I booked a month long yoga retreat in Thailand and a bunch of other travel along with it
  • My last day at my job came and went
  • I had a sweet going away party and my favorite Karaoke Bar in SF
  • I travelled a bit in Europe with my husband and best friends
  • I'm currently home for a week in between trips to snuggle on my dog and get my life in order
  • Leaving in 4 days for my month in Thailand :)
  • I'M SO EXCITED!

I hope you enjoy following along on my journey and I hope to inspire some of you all to follow your heart and take a leap, whatever that may be. I am a weird mix of terrified, excited, thrilled and worried all at the same time as I've never travelled alone and am sort of a needy person by nature... but hopefully I'll make some friends and will enjoy this very out-of-my-comfort-zone process.

I'm planning to start a little yoga biz when I return from my travels, whenever that may be... hence the rest of this website :) Until then, just ignore the rest of this site and enjoy the blog!

I'll post here, youtube or instagram every day as wifi permits - so be sure to subscribe, Like, etc if you want to keep up with my adventure!
