When my mother was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2006, the family made a decision not to let too much time pass without creating some lasting memories together.  It was at that time that my family decided to take a trip to Ireland.  It was in Ireland in 2008 that I realized how precious traveling truly is.  It was the last big trip she took with my mom before she passed in 2009, and those memories remain forever in my mind.

 

In the L of the Life Well Travel logo, you will see a teal ribbon on the bottom.  This represents ovarian cancer awareness and my way of honoring my mom.  She passed far too young from her battle before having the chance to travel to many more places.  It’s an honor and a privilege to remember Mom every place I travel.  In fact, I pick up a souvenir spoon in every new country I visit and continue my mother's tradition of collecting spoons throughout the globe!

 

Traveling and total wellness are my two passions.  I believe that traveling is one of the best things that you can do for your health. It helps your physical and mental health, which is also excellent for the soul. I live my passions daily with the life work that I do, educating on wellness and traveling the globe while sharing about healthy living on the go.
