What inspired you to start your business? What motivates you to keep going?: I’ve traveled to over 50 countries. I’ve experienced many moments that are too good to keep to myself. I decided to start a travel company that curates unique global travel packages.

What does your company stand for?: My company stands for opening opportunities to broaden your mind through travel.

How do you create the life you want?: I create the life I want by limiting my No’s. I love to dream up insane ideas and enjoy the journey of accomplishing them. I analyze each goal I seek, I find applicable resources needed, I then open opportunities for others to attain these goals as well.

What makes you HUMAN?: My constant need to remind myself it’s ok to make mistakes, be an contributing asset to my family, and the right to feel loved down to the depths of my soul.

What are three things your want people to know about self-love?: Self love is a life journey, it continues to challenge. Self love starts from actually believing you bring value to the world just by being here, uniquely you. Self love needs to start with women, especially as shapers of the world. I’ve had my own qualms with generational self hatred from the women in my family. It stops here. This is a new beginning.

What's something we can incorporate today to start loving ourselves more?: Affirmations go a looong way! We are what we think and feel. Imagine how many times you doubt yourself a day. Those negative thoughts resonate in your conscious and manifest the the overall attitude you have about yourself. 

There’s power in words! Use that power!

What has been your own journey with self love?: Such a long journey. My self hatred comes in the form of comparison. I’ve compared myself to my sister, my brothers, my classmates, “the prettiest girl in school,” people on social media, the list goes on. My need to feel valued is my biggest insecurity. As cliche as it sounds, one day I just decided to accept that my magic isn’t something that I have to chase. My magic is truly within me, and that I exhume my magic effortlessly- just by being me.

Leave an affirmation for readers.....: You are valued. Your life has purpose. You are not alone. I love you for you. Thank you for sharing your magic!
