Back in Jordan for the fourth time, and it continues to inspire me just as much as it did on my first visit in 2012! 🐪

Jordan remains one of my all-time favorite destinations thanks to its incredible diversity and rich cultural experiences.

From exploring the ancient city of Petra and floating in the healing waters of the Dead Sea, to discovering the vibrant streets of Amman, sleeping under the stars in the Wadi Rum desert, and scuba diving in the crystal-clear Red Sea in Aqaba—every journey here offers something unforgettable.

One experience I always recommend (and can’t wait to do again) is canyoning the Siq Trail in Wadi Mujib.

There’s truly no place like Jordan. 🇯🇴✨

I’ve stamped my passport in some pretty incredible places, but nothing has changed me the way motherhood has. Oliver, being your mama is the most beautiful, joy-filled adventure I’ve ever known—and the one I’m most grateful for. Happy Mother’s Day to the journey that matters most.

As someone who’s passionate about seeing the world and preserving it for future generations, being mindful of our impact—both at home and while traveling—is more important than ever. 🌱✈️

I know it can feel overwhelming at times, like there’s so much to do to be “greener” or more sustainable. Where do you even start? Are your efforts enough? Can you really make a difference?

The answer is YES. Every small change matters.

From ditching single-use plastics to cutting back on meat, every little step counts. Think about it—every plastic bottle you don’t buy, every bag you don’t use, is one less piece of waste in our oceans or landfills. These choices, no matter how small, add up to something BIG over time. 💚

You don’t have to start composting or making huge lifestyle changes overnight (unless that’s your thing!). But there are simple things you can do to lessen your environmental footprint right from home.

And of course, one of the most powerful things we can do is vote for leaders who will champion climate policy and environmental protection. We all have a voice, and together, we can create real change.

I’ve popped a few resources in my stories today—like the best reef-safe sunscreens and ways to minimize your environmental impact while traveling. 🌊🌿

Once you start making these small adjustments, they’ll become second nature—and before you know it, you’ll be a part of the solution.

Let’s show up for Mother Earth! 🌎💫
