An Eternity in an hour." - William Blake

If you look closely, you'll find that I have a temporary tattoo around my arm and it actually tanned itself into my skin 😂 (it stayed like that for a month after & patients thought it was a real tattoo🙈🤔) __ __ What I love most about traveling is learning about different cultures through eating the local cuisine, exploring the area, and just simply being in the moment and enjoying what the city has to offer. I love that I learn more about myself on every trip I go on, no matter if it's abroad or stateside, if it's a day trip or a week long adventure. ➡ What do YOU love most about traveling and where are you going next? 🌍 __ __ 📷 From the archives: Barcelona, June 2017 🌞 • • • • • #BraidologieTravels #BarcelonaSpain #VisitBarcelona #ArcDeTriomf #TravelSpain #topspainphoto # #travelbloggers #sheexplores #sheisnotlost #wearetravelgirls #girlvsglobe #globelletravels #femaletravelbloggers #browngirltravels #themelanintravelclub #discoverunder10k #womenwhoexplore #womenwhotravel #femmetravel #gogalavanting #staywildish #momentsofmine #girlsborntotravel #girlslovetravel #girlswithgypsysouls #explorerbabes #dametraveler #citizenfemme

Just a few of my favorite things 😍 @yosemitenps & @asianamericangirlclub __ __ May is Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month and here are some interesting facts about Asian languages and culture! ⬇ 1⃣ More than 60% of the world lives in Asia.

"Adios, beaches!" will definitely be my mood in T-16 days, when I'm done with my physio final ✌🏾🌊 __ __ #throwback to last summer in LA, when the beach was actually somewhat warm enough to take a dip in! . Story time➡ 10 minutes after this shot was taken, my brothers were walking back to shore and I happened to be taking pictures. When I zoomed them into focus, I thought "wow, that's nice they're not fighting" since it looked like one was carrying the other. Come to find out that their 'affection' was out of necessity b/c my brother got stung by a stingray 😱😭 __ __ 👙: swimsuit by @aerie . . . . . #BraidologieTravels #AerieREAL #Aerieswim #aerieswimwear #BeYOUtiful #SantaMonica #SoCalbeaches #VisitSantaMonica #SeeLA #californiabeaches #girlslovetravel #womenwhoexplore #womenwhotravel #sheisnotlost #beachbabestyle #citizenfemme #girlsgoneglobal #gltlove #gogalavanting #staywildish  #beachszn #californiacreatives #cabloggers #discoverunder10k #lifestylebloggers #travelbloggers
