Become a cultured person — travel often, practice an art, learn multiple languages, study global dynamics, read mythology & ancient texts.

If you’ve made it this far, your reward is the very view that made me squeal.

The exact moment I saw the ‘ring of fire’ eclipse in Costa Rica.

When planning your next trip, check out whats going on in the stratosphere. I compiled a list of websites to help (below).

P.S. future you watching an eclipse is grateful you saved this ;)

Borealis hunting tips —

• Get away from city lights.
• Go on the new moon, when it is darkest!
• Winter and spring are less cloudy than fall months.

Sometimes, travel friendships are for life. Other times we say, "thank you for your time and for the memories" before letting them drift off into the ether.

@tspadventure I tend to clarify as well!

What is the minimum amount of time in a country you need to say say you’ve lived there?

@TheBryannaDavis Enjoying the small moments, amplifying gratitude, & a touch of novelty is my recipe for happiness 🤍

@famandfire Finding the magic in the smallest moments — for Italians those moments are usually food-related!

@savannahvicario Someone who is not curious about the world. If he is not willing to travel and explore new cultures, he's probably not for my wandering soul.

@isabelunraveled This is a beautiful sentiment, but I wonder how practical it is…i’m currently balancing ‘need to make money’ with ‘what I am passionate about’

Most travelers are like skipping stones — skimming the surface of a place before jumping to the next.

But, some of us want to be the rock that rolls off the hand and goes ‘ploop!’ These travelers go deep, knowing a few places very well. If you want to soak in culture & place, welcome to our little community!

Here, we learn languages, integrate into communities, & weave local connections. All while becoming a cultured, multifaceted human being.

What culture do you want to 'ploop' into?
