HEAVEN ON EARTH

CELEBRATING THE BOUNTY OF THE WEST.

I am continually inspired by the bounty that is America. As a European girl who has traveled the world, I am always amazed at how many different areas of this big country there are to explore. This year, my family and I traveled to Wyoming and Montana for the very first time and I was rocked to my core. The majestic mountains, gorgeous wild life and peaceful energy was infectious. Quite frankly, this beach girl was questioning whether she wanted to come home! But instead, I left with a full heart, a huge design inspiration, and a new perspective on life’s pace (more to come on that).

This week, I’m sharing my itinerary because so many of you asked but also because I wish for everyone that you can take this trip of a lifetime with your families. Oh and be ready to meet your spirit animal! I’m sure you’ve guessed by now that the Bison is mine. 🙂
