A four day 4×4 tour with Tupiza Tours in Bolivia brought me to some of the most incredible natural beauty I have ever seen.
At what quite possiby might be the world’s best road stop, we arrived at Aguas Calientes. These natural hot springs were perfectly heated by natural volcanic activity and there was a perfect view to match! The hot springs opened up to crystal blue waters inhabited by pink flamingos and a horizon of snow capped volcanoes.
Oh yeah… I’m that girl. 👩🏼💻

Thousands of unread emails. Hundreds of text messages I haven’t responded to.
Flights, content creation, school logistics, edits, visas — usually all open at the same time. When you’re juggling that many tabs, you need a laptop that can actually keep up.
My laptop is powered by AMD Ryzen AI and is built for real multitasking, lets me run AI tools directly on my laptop (even offline), and keeps my editing workflow moving fast.
Multitasking is a lifestyle. Good thing this one’s built for it.

There’s something really special about finding a place that feels like your own childhood… and what you always dreamed of for your own kid 🤍
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Tucked away in the Cape Winelands, about an hour from Cape Town, South Africa, @camp.canoe is one of those places that somehow feels both completely off-grid and perfectly convenient.
Set on one of my favorite family-friendly wine farms, @boschendal, you get the best of both worlds—wide open space, no distractions, and just enough nearby to make it effortless with little ones (and fun for the adults).
Days here look like:
– swimming in the dam
– slow mornings outside
– wood-fired hot tub soaks
– braai (bbq) under the stars
It’s a little bit luxe, it’s nostalgic, and it’s the kind of place that makes you want to stay just a little bit longer. ✨

Spending a year abroad sounds exciting… until you see the planning involved.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Flights, edits, contracts, itineraries — not to mention the admin of being a mom. I’m usually running everything at once, so having a laptop that can keep up makes a huge difference.
I’ve been using an AMD Ryzen AI–powered laptop to keep everything organized, run AI tools even when WiFi isn’t available, and work from wherever we happen to be in the world.
So I can finish what I need to do… and get back to what’s most important ❤️

Some places are worth coming back to 🐧
Boulders Beach, Cape Town with Oliver
9 months → 21 months → 3.5 years
I blinked and my baby become a toddler…
and my toddler become a little boy. 😭
January Wrapped 🗓️
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
We landed in Cape Town mid-January and hit the ground running.
Oliver and I packed up our life and moved abroad for a year — chasing a simple question: what’s the best that could happen?
My parents joined us for the first month — which meant extra hands, loving support, and the sweetest way to begin this chapter.
Between toddler sickness (IYKYK) and playing full-time tour guide, we somehow managed to squeeze in so much life.
A long weekend in Paternoster.
Glamping under the stars at Camp Canoe.
Summertime in the city.
Oliver starting at his new preschool.
Adventures through the Cape Winelands.
Slow weekends at the farmer’s market.
Afternoons stretched long at the beach.
It’s been messy and magical.
Exhausting and energizing.
Somewhere between pharmacy runs and beach swims, it started to feel less like a move…
and more like the start of our biggest adventure yet! 🌍
