To me, travel is about stepping outside of your comfort zone and your own perspective. It is the invitation to get lost and just appreciate what is around you. It is the link between the known and the unknown.
Travel enriches not only who we are as people but how we interact with those around us. Travel connects people together without regard for language barriers or cultural differences.
Travel is seeing the world through what is well-known but more importantly, through the moments where there is time and space to just witness. The 6 hour drive through rural India. The boat ride between islands in Indonesia. The conversation with a taxi driver in Italy.
These are the moments that embody what travel truly means to me. These are the moments that stay with me long after the return home.

I have been dancing since the moment I could walk and my undergraduate and graduate dance work bloomed into a love for Pilates, yoga and body-mind centered practices.
