Breakaway Backpacker

If you’ve ever wanted to #travel the world here my notes from the time I gave a presentation in Cairo 🇪🇬 (2016) on “Traveling on a Budget” ... they still hold up today. Especially WHY ITS WORTH IT!!! ✈️🗺👣 #budgettravel #lp #debtfree #backpacking

Do yourself a favor and check this out today! I am so proud of you @iamHaileyMia ❤️ this song is incredible!

@EwdatsGROSS This is true. During my Quarter Life Crisis I sold everything I owned, saved & traveled around the world for 4 years. Now 36 & so happy & thankful the simple life I’ve made for myself is good.

We all have heard about a mid life crisis but no one talks about the quarter life crisis where everyone gets either weirdly into hiking or everything they loved in 10th grade

Y’all I’ve never loved an artist like I love @kellyclarkson & know everyone who knows me knows how much I love her jajajaja. One day I’ll attend or be on The @KellyClarksonTV show!!! PS MyDecember is still her best album!!! #KellyClarkson #AmericanIdol #TeamKelly

20 years ago today Kelly Clarkson won American Idol! I didn’t watch her season of Idol, but I remember the exact moment I heard her on the radio shortly after she won & fell in love! Her music & grace helped me get through so many chapters of my life. She really is a true IDOL!!!

Oh it’s one of the best songs ever. The lyrics are beautiful and meaningful in time of loss. If you haven’t seen @kellyclarkson perform it to honor @garthbrooks … YOURE WELCOME. youtu.be/QpPMskJSb0M #TheDance #KellyClarkson #KCHonors #GarthBrooks

BUCKET LIST CONCERT: ✅ GARTH BROOKS STADIUM TOUR!!! His final stop in the USA!!! @garthbrooks we are excited for tonight!!! If you sing The Dance I’m gonna be a mess!!! #GarthBrooks #GarthInHouston #Vaquero #LoveIsLove

We love our Astros!!! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜⚾️ #LevelUp #PrideNight🏳️‍🌈

Can’t get over how amazing @DUALIPA’s concert was Saturday! We went all out for her bc we jammed so much to her during the pandemic & was worth the wait to see her. She is phenomenal & ahhh we love her tons. Love that she even brought out 🏳️‍🌈! #FutureNostalgia #Houston #LoveAgain

@JAKKStoys Thankfully got the 3pack! Just this year started collecting the #Jakks Figures & am playing catch up. Missing few Toads, Yoshis, Marios & Roy (he’s so hard to find affordable). Wish we’d get 12inch of major characters. Been collecting the #HotWheels for a while. #nintendo #mario

Which figure do you want to add to your collection next — Cat #Peach, Cat #Mario, or Cat #Luigi? Reply with a 💖, 💛, or 💚! #SuperMario fal.cn/3m23y

@_JoyCastro Travel. The $$$ I spent on backpacking around the world for 4yrs. Sold just about everything, left for 2yrs came back saved & left for 2 more. Everyone thought I was crazy, but it was about $70,000 well spent! Been home 5yrs & bought a home last year. Everything falls into place.

What have you never regretted spending money on?

Been a while since I shared an article, but I love everything about this. @audreynlnguyen you said it so well & hope more people realize this. npr.org/2022/01/14/107…

Excuse my sleepy face. 6:30am workout done! One of my resolutions for 2022 is to focus on my health again because I didn’t at all during 2021. For all of us trying to get back on track & for all who stayed on track… WE GOT THIS!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone!!! 2021 was another testing year filled with so much loss, but in the mist of it all and the never ending pandemic it was great & we achieved many of our goals. So ready for 2022!!!

Merry Christmas… to all who celebrate!!! 🎅🏼🎄☃️ Our first Christmas in our home, creating new traditions. It’s been a December to remember… we are fortunate & thankful for everything. Yes I got us matching socks. Y’all maybe I’m no longer a little Grinch. 😬😱🤣

@EntEarth @kellyclarkson for sure!!! Can y’all make a @OriginalFunko of her please!!! One for each album & her tv show. @KellyClarksonTV

If you could pick one person from all of pop culture to help Santa deliver the presents this year, who are you going with?

Y’all know I’m the Grinch when it comes to Christmas jajaja, but he’s changing that. Our first Christmas tree is done! 🎅🏼🎄☃️ We wrapped our @framebridge frames to finish the look & now have a little photo back drop for all our Xmas photos. Of course jamming to @kellyclarkson!
