“Magic happens when you don’t give up, even though you want to. The universe always falls in love with a stubborn heart.” - JmStorm 🍄 If you’re working towards a goal right now and it’s starting to get hard — keep freakin’ going! Pushing through that hard part and continuing on your mission is what sets the go-getters, the do-ers, apart from the failures, the settlers. 🌾 Believe in your potential and then make it a reality. Keep working towards that future you imagine for yourself ‘cause step by step, day by day, you will get there. 💫 The biggest mistake you can make is to stop when it gets hard. I’m sending this reminder to you and myself right now ‘cause I damn well need to hear it. 🔥 Dreams are great but they only become real when you put in the work. Head down, eyes up. Hustle. You got this. ⚡️ ⚡️ ⚡️ #makeyourdreamscometrue #workhardplayhard #headdowneyesup #stayfocusedonyourgoals #mariokartmushroom #newzealanddreams #queenstownlife #travelblog #travelblogger #iamtb #explorenewzealand #travelwriter #vegantravel #veganblog #writeyourbeststory #liveyourlifenow #getgoing #cravingapeace 📷: @onlythegreek (at Queenstown, New Zealand)

To all the bad ass, lady boss, independent women out there, you're all EXACTLY what this earth needs. So, keep being you. Keep sharing your gifts and talents, because that's exactly what this world craves right now! 👩‍🎤 👩🏽‍🌾 👩🏻‍🍳 I'm so proud to be a woman in this day and age. It's taken a while for us to get where we are, but it's been a tragically beautiful story to be a part of. I feel fortunate to be alive during the time that women are most recognized, respected, and honored. May we only progress from here... 👩🏾‍🎓 👩🏼‍🔧 👩🏼‍🚀 Happy International Women's Day EVERYDAY. ♥️ 👩🏽‍⚕️ 👩🏼‍💼 👩🏿‍⚖️ #internationalwomensday2018 #celebratewomen #ladiesrock #badassbitches #femalelove #proudtobeawoman #manifeellikeawoman #girlpower #ladybosses #girlbosses #cravingapeace (at Queenstown, New Zealand)

Guess what?! It’s Kiwi Kit Wednesday!!! 🥝🥝🥝 As we were outlining our move-to-New-Zealand money-saving strategy, we realized it was a lot of info to take in. 🤓🤓🤓 In order to avoid any overwhelm, we broke our strategy up into three parts. 💰💰💰 Now don’t laugh, but we did it to mirror the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit trilogies. 😂😂😂 This week on @the_kiwi_kit you’ll find Part One {to rule them all}. Each part following will build on the last. 💍💍💍 Click on the link in my bio for this nerdy, but helpful, article on saving money to move to New Zealand. ⛰ ⛰ ⛰ #thekiwitkit #movetonewzealand #eternalexpat #liveabroad #expatlifestyle #savetotravel #saveyourpennies #moveoverseas #moveabroad #travelnewzealand #explorenewzealand #newzealandadventures #movingabroad #lordoftherings #lotr #hobbit #hobbiton #cravingapeace #the_kiwi_kit #traveltheworldtoday #traveltheworldtogether #womenwhotravel #globalwomen #girlswhotraveltheworld (at Queenstown, New Zealand)

He said: “Don’t you feel lonely living in your own little world?” ✨ She whispered: “Don’t you feel powerless living in other people’s worlds?” - F.G. ✨ This year, I’m becoming an entrepreneur. I never, ever thought I’d say that I wanted to work for myself, but 2018 is the year I decided to chase a wild dream and make it my reality. ✨ I don’t know what took me so long to realize that deep down I’ve been scared to start living out my own goals and I’ve been distracting myself by building someone else’s. It tends to be easier when someone else is guiding you, teaching you, even paying you to create their dreams, but the moment you decide to do the work and be your own guide, teacher, and boss, things start shifting. ✨ What wild dream(s) are you chasing? If you haven’t started the process of making your #1 goal your first priority, what are you waiting for? What’s holding you back? ✨ Let’s do it together. ✨ ✨ ✨ #goalchasers #dreamerdoershakermover #girlbosses #entrepreneurmindset #taketheleap #workharder #hustleforyourdreams #iamtb #travelblogging #veganblogger #vibrantlife #liveyourbestlife #carpediem #fuckfear #cravingapeace 📸: @aleashniche miss you, boo

Who here likes to travel?! Do you do it for the adventurous feeling that lights you up inside? Do you do it for the photos? Do you do it to learn about the world? To learn about yourself? Or do you do it to feel what it’s like being somewhere brand new? To reinvent yourself in each new location? To see the colors, hear the stories, smell the smells, taste the flavors? To get a tan or buy a new outfit? To escape something? 🛫 Tell me. What’s your favorite thing about traveling? Be honest. I’m soooo curious. It’s the fuel to my fire, my drug of choice, and I want to know why my fellow wanderlusters do it, too. 🌍 🌎 🌏 #travelholic #exploretheplanet #womenwhotravel #girlswhotraveltheworld #iamtb #seetheworldaroundyou #wanderingwomen #travelblogging #travelwriting #carpediembaby #worldtraveller #traveltogrow #exityourcomfortzone #cultureisking #goeverywhere #cravingapeace (at Queenstown, New Zealand)

My end goal in life is to be that old lady with a million crazy stories. Tales about the unique places I’ve lived, the intriguing people I’ve met, and the random situations I’ve gotten myself into. ✨ One of those chapters in my story will be about New Zealand. This installment of the narrative includes a beautiful South Pacific paradise that has shown me how to create a life worth living. It’s not about going to places just to say you’ve been there, it’s about spending quality time exploring, listening, learning. 🥝 I hope you’re thinking about the chapters you’re writing right now and I hope one of them includes some time in New Zealand. In my opinion, NZ exists how the rest of the world should. Humble, kind, balanced, and adventurous is how I’d describe most kiwis. Plus, the landscapes are more stunning than words can truly describe. ✨ If you’re interested in visiting New Zealand or even moving here, my blog can serve as a resource to you in the planning process. With posts out every week, I’m sharing all the tips I wish I knew before I arrived. 🥝 Check it out here: www.cravingapeace.com and if you have any specific questions, please do not hesitate to email me (click link in bio). ✨ ✨ ✨ #happytraveling #explorenewzealand #visitnewzealand #travelblogging #iamtb #queenstownholidays #queenstownlife #queenstowninsider #globalexplorer #ZQN #newzealandadventure #kiwiland #wanderingnomad #carpediem #cravingapeace 📷: @onlythegreek (at Queenstown, New Zealand)

"I have come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element. It is my personal approach that creates the climate. It is my daily mood that makes the weather. 🌤 I possess tremendous power to make life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration, I can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal. In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis is escalated or de-escalated, and a person is humanized or de-humanized. 🌻 If we treat people as they are, we make them worse. If we treat people as they out to be, we help them to become what they are capable of becoming." - Johann Wolfgang von Geothe 🍁 🍁 🍁 Love a good quote that gets me thinking. We are the authors of our own story. Write the best chapters for you. #quotetoliveby #cravingapeace

To all the adventurers, wanderers, explorers, navigators, vagabonds, travelers, risk takers, mission goers, personal challengers and boundary pushers out there, keep that sacred choice to live life YOUR WAY alive, contagious and well fed. 🗺 It's a big world full of goals waiting to be accomplished, places to be explored, challenges to be overcome, fears to be faced, comfort zones to be pushed, and mountains to be climbed. ⛰ I tip my hat to all who choose their time wisely, make moments meaningfully, seek truth regularly, listen intently, taste flavors constantly, create daily, love passionately, show gratitude genuinely, and exist vibrantly. 🌅 Thank you for living your best life. ✨ ✨ ✨ #cravingapeace #travelblogger #travelblog #iamtb #livetotravel #liveforreal #wakeupandsmellthecoffee #bigworld #adventureoften #climbmountains #exploremore #wordstoliveby #seetheworld #queenstown #newzealand #remarkables #topoftheremarks #lakewakatipu #explorenewzealand #queenstownholidays (at The Remarkables)
