Westwater Shenanigans 2018 (Happy Birthday Sky)

September 16, 2018 Jessica

The first time I ran Westwater, I was taken aback by its beauty. The narrow, massive black and red rock walls encompassing you. The feeling of being completely isolated in nature. The history shining through that black rock fondly referred to by a fellow guide as the rock that is “older than sex.” Gneiss is a high-grade metamorhphic rock which belongs to the precambrian age. Exposure of this rock is limited, with only a few places exisiting in the Four…

Love Not Lost

September 15, 2018 Jessica

Love is a funny thing. When someone says “I love you,” it can be taken in so many different ways. I love who you are, I’m in love with you, I love what you mean to me, are just a few interpretations. It seems that we can all agree that it can be a heavy word with a lot of meaning, but we cannot seem to agree on the exact meaning. That is part of the joy of words, is…

Having Patience (To Be You)

July 10, 2018 Jessica

It is no secret that patience is a virtue, and my life has been no exception. Patience has never been one of my strong suits. When we want something, we want it, right? Well, life has a funny way of knowing better and combating the ego. We may think we know what we want, but that does not make it correct. And even though we may clench our teeth and get pissed that we are not getting “what we want,”…

Feeling the Flow ~ (Fun Flow Yoga Video)

May 9, 2018 Jessica

What gets you into your flow state? What moves you to your own beat, sets you free? Yoga was the beginning of that for me. It was the introduction, and holds as my foundation, of getting into the flow state. Of being able to be truly me and be in the moment, observing my breath and body as one. But something that I have learned is that once you find your flow state, you want to share it. You want to…

Taco Life: Part II

April 15, 2018 Jessica

Just over a year ago, I started my Taco Life. My Dad and I endeavored in a project that has changed the way I live and travel. That is when I got my Toyota Tacoma and began modeling it to live out of! I have loved it, we have gone on plenty of adventures. Between the Taco, Ocoee and myself, we have seen a lot of miles and landscapes this year. It has been mostly wonderful, but there were…

Neck Flow for Tension Release

April 2, 2018 Jessica

In our lives, we tend to hold a lot of unnecessary tension. We build up all this stress in ourselves and we hold it in our bodies, hardly ever giving it the outlet to let go. Between driving, office jobs, and working on computers we put a lot of strain on our bodies, hunching over and tensing up. We need to learn to release, to counter these unhealthy habits we are creating for ourselves. On top of this, most of…

Bohom Travels: New Years In Thailand

March 29, 2018 Jessica

Standing in the ocean bay, looking up at the lanterns dissipating in the star-lit sky, I felt the water lap against my legs. I felt the sea breeze kiss my skin, the sounds of the excited crowd around me lull me into bliss. I felt a change that night, a shift from within and without. As the year changed over, so did I. When I first made plans for going abroad, they were quite different from what actually occurred. I…

Bohom Travels: Layover in Malaysia

March 18, 2018 Jessica

What would you do on a ten-hour layover? It seemed that the popular thing in Kuala Lumpur was to check out the Petronas Towers. Yet, while they do look to be architecturally impressive, city viewing is not necessarily my idea of fun. Then I found a picture of the Batu Caves… and a half day tour that also included hiking with waterfalls. Why, hello there beautiful. Flying in from New Delhi, we were extremely tired and somewhat overdressed. Our climates…

Bohom Travels: Christmas In New Delhi

March 6, 2018 Jessica

What do you want for Christmas? How can you spread Holiday cheer? Nah. What do I want to do on Christmas to help spread stoke on life? That is how I approached the holiday this year. Spending a day and a half in New Delhi is not my idea of fun, but it was necessary to be there for our flight out of India. So how did we spend our Christmas Eve & Day in a foreign city? Christmas Eve We…

Bohom Travels: A Day In Agra

February 26, 2018 Jessica

The Taj Mahal has been called a teardrop on the face of the Earth, and it is fairly easy to understand why. Looking upon its massive and elegant structure leaves no room for doubt that it is anything but extraordinary. The Run Down Dylan and I arrived in Agra with a bit of a struggle.. taking a car from Jaipur had been comfy and safe, if not informative and conversational. When we arrived in Agra, the driver had issues…
