Processed with VSCOcam with hb2 preset

I learned on the first day of this trip to expect the unexpected. It may be cliche, but it’s true. I’m learning quickly how hard it is stay motivated when travelling while battling a cold that just doesn’t seem to want to go away and maybe it’s actually because of travelling that the cold isn’t… Continue reading Iceland, you’ve changed | Day 2

Back in Iceland | Day 1

Once Upon A Time In Mexico | Day 2 #KJgettintacos

We made it through customs and finally stepped foot outside of the airport, to be greeted with a beer and a shot of tequila. So this is Mexico? I felt like I was on the Vegas strip. Teddy had been to Mexico a bunch of times before and have friends who live here so we… Continue reading Once Upon A Time In Mexico | Day 2 #KJgettintacos
