TGIF!!! It’s been exactly one week since we’ve arrived home from Tulum and Africa and I want to be back on a plane again! I’ve missed traveling so much. Summer is winding down , school’s starting in two weeks and these past three months have flown by at lightning speed! As I’m recounting my trips from this year I realize how lucky I’ve been to have taken them . Each place left me with such a different feeling in my soul and that’s WHY I travel . It’s funny , all the years I traveled I still had to have a “base “. That base and place I called home was Los Angeles . Something always drew me back no matter how far I went into the world I HAD to return to LA. Now with my office and studio / business being based there it was understandable but in 2015 when I made the decision to leave and move to Italy there was no longer this feeling of “I HAVE to have a home base!” In fact tonight as I was talking to Alberto I told him “it feels good to be home but I’m so ready to just go again and wherever “. He smiled , poured me more wine and said ” baby I have to do a deposition in the morning ” lol . His work , family and clients are all tied to our life here , there’s no just up and leaving . I’m ready though!!
Which leads me to our trip in June , Tulum ! I had to return to Los Angeles in June for a night and ended up staying actually two nights due to an immigration error but yay! I got my Nordstrom , CVS , and adjustment with my Chiropractor , then got to spend two wonderful nights with my best friend Ann who gave me a massage (rolfing ahhhhhh ) and we did an arching light energy session. Alberto was meeting me in Tulum and it was the first time for both of us . We had our honeymoon in Cabo, did Mexico City , but we’d never visited the Yucatan side. Our first option is to always be by the sea so we booked seven nights at Zereno http://en.zereno.mx and it was such a great choice! I hadn’t done my research on Tulum so I didn’t really have a “plan” per se. We really just wanted to lay on the beach and eat Tacos ! Like we just wanted to relax. I’m always looking for an animal to see in the wild but Mexico didn’t really have that for me (Until I saw a Xoloitzcuintle!) Now I want one ! Zereno our beautiful apartment / hotel was located about 3 km from Las Palmas beach . It’s a public beach but pretty nice and all of the “main ” hotels , nightclubs and discos are around here . We decided to rent a scooter to head a bit out to see the Mayan Ruins / Pyramids and we swam in one Cenote (forgot which one uff !! but it wasn’t for me ) but honestly we literally just went to Ziggy’s beach club http://ziggybeachtulum.com EVERYDAY and loved it . Like that was our spot . I got a dress from one of those hot influencers that strut up and down the beach peddling clothes LOL and drank Mezcal and ate tacos for lunch everyday . I’d buy candy from the kids too and Kopal or something from the locals .A place worth mentioning is Fitalicious cafe http://fitalicious.com.mx. We had breakfast there every morning and it was so healthy and good. The owner was really kind and it was just a great atmosphere . We had dinner a few nights there too. We ventured out a few more places into the city center but I REALLY liked the area we stayed in . Zereno has bikes you can use so we were close to the beach , a fantastic Health food market and gym .Even on vacation like what else do you need!! Such a great trip!! XO Tera
