"Courage starts with showing up and letting oursel "Courage starts with showing up and letting ourselves be seen." —Brené Brown In honor of Women's History Month, a few beautiful portraits I've been blessed and allowed to capture across the globe. From Jordan to Cuba, Africa and Italy - each one of these women represents you and me. Grace and courage, determination and sacrifice, care and kindness ... and a smile and sparkle that conceals so much. Warriors on our best days and butterflies on our worst - the world is a brighter and kinder place with each and every woman in it. #strength #beauty #courage #womensmonth #womensday #women #portraits #womenshistorymonth #portraitphotography #cuba #havana #jordan #petra #italy #naples #africa #kenya #womenwarriors
"Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! L "Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you've imagined." -Henry David Thoreau PETRA! PETRA! Talk about a dream come true. Earlier this year, I was blessed to get the opportunity to cash in my 2020 airline miles and check off another wonder of the world ... a place I've only dreamt of visiting after #IndiaJones and the Last Crusade. The country of Jordan was amazing ... the people, culture, and environment -- everyone was so welcoming and happy to have visitors back in the area. And to visit the park with minimal people crowding the spaces ... worth the vaccines, boosters & abundance of tests to trek across the world. . #beboldandbrave #traveltheworld #makeaplanbuytheticket #solofemaletraveler #petra @petra_jordan_travel_ #petrajordan #wonderoftheworld #jkcopenhaverphoto #worldtraveler #wanderlust #workdaywanderlust #traveltheworld #escape #traveladdicted
Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demo Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends” – Maya Angelou  Back in action!! So excited to be on the other side of the world again! Yesterday I arrived in Amman, Jordan to learn, explore, and fulfill a lifelong dream to see Petra. I'm blown away by the beauty of the land and the incredible people! I'm already making lovely connections with Jordanians who ask to take selfies with me. 🤗 I'm absolutely honored and blessed to experience this country for myself. Today's images are from my arrival and the amazing tour of Jerash, the largest Roman ruins outside of Rome. So. Much. History! And I'm just getting started. Nine days still to go ... check out my IG stories for real time, on the go photos! #jordan #amman #travel #wanderlust #connection #jerash #explore #educate #seeforyourself #texascamelcorp #adventure #middleeast #respect #culture #romanruins #love

It really DOES make you feel like a kid again! So much fun to celebrate summer and spend time with friends in the park. I haven't been to a theme park in years and this was the perfect way to dive back in! 😍 #happysummer #disney #myfirsttriptodisney #mickeymouse #magickingdom #epcot #disneyworld #jumpsaroundtheworld #vacation #feellikeakidagain #smiles #selfie #floridalife

“A drop of water, if it could write out its own “A drop of water, if it could write out its own history, would explain the universe to us.” – Lucy Larcom The beautiful cenote Ik Kil near Chichen Itza! A cenote is a regional name for a natural sinkhole that happens when the limestone bedrock collapses and exposes groundwater. Cenotes were commonly used for water supplies by the ancient Maya and occasionally for sacrificial offerings! 😳 Plus, they make for great swimming holes! 🥰 #cenote #chichenitza #ikkil #mexico #mayanculture #maya #swimminghole #sinkhole #waterfall #tribal #summervacation #learn #travel #water #ilovetravel #girlstrip #cancun #explore
Traveling is almost like talking with men of other Traveling is almost like talking with men of other centuries." - René Descartes Amazing to see one of the modern wonders of the world, Chichén Itzá, Mayan ruins from 600 AD! The pyramid El Castillo is special for many reasons: its precise location in the center of the large Mayan empire, the use of sunlight and moonlight during the equinoxes, the number of steps on all 4 sides equal 365 to match the calendar, and 2 more pyramids INSIDE this larger plus an inverted pyramid directly below El Castillo. So cool to see the craftmanship of those who've gone before us! Modern wonders of the world ... one down, six to go! 🏛⛰🗺 #chichenitza #mexico #mayan #ancientarchitecture #tribal #ruins #history #pyramid #summervacation #learn #traveltheworld #sevenwonders #jumpsaroundtheworld #gymnast #ilovetravel
