💘 Love (and laughter) in Lima! At Parque del Amor, Meghan got caught in Cupid’s crossfire—right in the heart! 🎯😂 This park is a must-visit for romantics and wanderers alike. 💕 #ParqueDelAmor #2travelingafter1 #SlowTravel

After years of traveling the world, you’d think we’d get used to sunsets. But no, each one still takes our breath away. Tonight was no exception. The sky put on a show, and we were reminded once again how lucky we are to witness these everyday miracles.

🐿️ Unexpected Lunch Date in Lima 🇵🇪
Sometimes the best travel moments are the ones we don’t plan, like making a new furry friend in El Olivar de San Isidro Park! This little squirrel had its eyes on our dates (the fruit, not each other 😆), so we decided to share a snack.

Some moments don’t need color to shine. This sunset in Tahiti, on what felt like our own private beach, was pure magic. Just us, the whisper of the waves, and a lone palm tree standing watch as the sun slipped below the horizon. 🌅🌴 There’s something about stripping away the color that makes the details even more striking—the ripples in the water, the silhouette of the palm, the stillness of a perfect evening. Sometimes, travel isn’t just about where you go, but about how you see it. 📍 Tahiti | #SunsetSerenity #MonochromeMagic #2travelingafter1 #TahitiDreaming #PrivateParadise #SlowTravel #EmbraceTheMoment

Paradise Found in Black & White 🖤🤍

🌍✈️ Monday Travel Meditation: Packing Light, Living Light 🎒🧘 What do you truly need to carry? When we travel, we’re forced to decide what’s essential. A heavy suitcase can slow us down, just like emotional baggage can weigh on our minds. But when we let go of what no longer serves us, we move through the world with ease. Think of a time when you packed too much, physically or mentally. What could you have left behind? What would it feel like to lighten your load today? This week, let’s embrace the freedom of traveling light, both in our suitcases and in our hearts. 💙 #2travelingafter1 #seniortravel #emptynesttravel #MondayMeditation #TravelLight #SlowTravel #MindfulTravel #NomadicLife #WanderWithIntention
