Time seems like a very strange concept after the past three days of traveling. I am currently in Kuala Lumpur (so amazing I am saving all my comments for another post) and my brain is keeping track of Danish time (so we can work with the rest of the team over skype), California time (no reason I [...]

Just a soul charging weekend with a lot of ladies that inspire me 💖
Got to live an actual dream of mine this last weekend emceeing EDGE 2022. It’s hard to describe how incredible this program is, but just imagine becoming empowered to literally change the world, make lifelong genuine friendships, and grow into who you truly are as a person over three days as a high school sophomore at a sleep away camp. And I was lucky enough to be asked to help guide all these amazing young leaders through it. You better believe I nearly weeped talking to a crowd of parents once the weekend was over. So proud and excited for all of EDGE 2022 to change the world!!! BANANAS!!!
Destroyed my camera in Cancun but this pic survived 🥺
Anna and I trained five months for the El Cruce marathon open water swim. Mother Nature had other plans. 20 min into the swim the sky turned to black, 20 min after that the swell was massive and rain was pounding, and it was impossible to tell where we came from and where we were going. In total 1,500 swimmers were found, fished out, and thrown onto any boat that could hold us. It was a huge bummer to not complete the swim, but what’s most important is that everyone made it back safely. Couldn’t have asked for a better training partner/ adventure sister! Leaving Mexico a little broken-hearted but boy do we have stories to tell. El Cruce 2023, we’re coming for you.
To lifelong friends, to summer sunsets, and most importantly to Jenna ✨
Summer is that u?!?! 🤩
