Our little blue planet of a home. ♥️ How lucky we are to have it. How astonishing it is, every minute of every day.

When you take the time to become a student of the world, embracing your true, curiosity and adopting any and all things to be learned through experience and time and humanity - magic happens. ✨ When you become a student of this planet, suddenly lessons come in all shapes and forms - in conversations, in the flavors fresh roasted coffee, in art, in silence, in the rustling of leaves, in books. 💫 Every little thing becomes a bold adventure to take on and learn for yourself. Say yes to learning from this world.

This is the @therudloe. ♥️ Located right outside of Corsham, England, this country house and farm is pretty much the place I get nostalgic for the most these days. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In Anthony Bourdain's episode on England (post Brexit), he came here and ate pig's trotter with it's owner (and legend himself) Marco Pierre White. 🍴 The episode, at the time, was a huge inspiration for Luke and I to get to England one day. Little did we know that we'd be staying there after Anthony's passing... making it all the more bittersweet and meaningful. 😢

We ate eggs benedict every morning, 😋drove around the countryside capturing its beauty, saw the stars at midnight, loved on the stray pigs and chickens here... loving every minute. 💫 I’m pretty sure I left a piece of my heart here. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you every stayed in lodgings that turned out to give you even more of an exquisite experience? I’d love to know where!

Happy birthday to the man who always dreams right along with me... often pressing me forward. ♥️ @lukejohntopping, I'm so excited to eat pizza 🍕 and pretend like we're in Italy tonight 🇮🇹 to celebrate a new year for you.

Does travel make us natural minimalists? ✨ With the recent popularity of Marie Kondo’s Netflix series and everyone cleaning house, I’ve really started to think deeply about minimalism as more than a trend. 👍🏻 Does the necessity of being able to “pick up and go” more than a means to an end? 🏃‍♀️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've written up a couple thoughts about this on my blog (link in bio!)... which, by the way, is seriously my new happy place to spill out these sort of topics whenever my heart pleases! 😉 Go check click that link and check out what I mean.

But let's talk about it! What do you think? Travelers = minimalists?

I recently made a bold declaration to the universe. ✨ I want to travel the world and write love letters, poems and short stories about the places that captivate my heart. ♥️ You see, I fall in love with places. 🌎 Maybe you do too.
My romance with destinations begins and ends with a strong desire to understand every inch of its domain. I long to know the idiosyncrasies of its people – their language, their style, their routines, the places they haunt and the flavors they savor. 💫
I desire to see the small, intricate details of every back alley, tiled floor and fabrics with my very eyes. I want to be guided down hidden paths by locals. I want to smell the homemade dinners wafted from the slatted windows, I want to feel the warmth of a mid afternoon in every corner of this world. 🗺
And, truth be told, my longing to understand each detail comes from a quiet curiosity that I’ve always felt inside.
