Playing tourist 📷 at Wat Arun

More touristy tidbits - Did you know that there are over 31,000 Buddhist temples in Thailand?

One of Thailand's most famous Buddhist temples is Wat Arun in Bangkok (my hometown), a wat named for the Hindu god of the dawn, Aruna.
Built in the 18th century, this Wat or Buddhist temple is an architectural representation of Mount Meru, the center of the world in Buddhist cosmology. In the mythology of Tibetan Buddhism, Mount Meru is a place that simultaneously represents the center of the universe and the single-pointedness of mind sought by adepts. Thousands of miles in height, Meru is located somewhere beyond the physical plane of reality, in a realm of perfection and transcendence.

Flying over 20 hours from New York to Bangkok was 1000% worth it to make it in time for this dinner reservation!
It was such an honor to experience the playful and creative culinary poetry of @gaggan_anand and his tantalizing menu of emojis! I loved every single minute of this palette provoking 25-course tasting menu 💕
Never have I ever experienced Indian street food this way and I loved how some of the plates pieces together into a map of India 🇮🇳 Gaggan himself wasn’t there that night, so that means I’ll definitely have to come back!!! Thank you @a_supachhai for the laughs and for taking such great care of us ❤️ #gaggan #iflyforfood #flyingforfood #foodie #travelthailand #bangkok #moleculargastronomy #indianstreetfood #bangkokfoodies

Thanksgiving is a reminder to be grateful every single day. Today is a gift and don’t you forget that! 💕 I am grateful and thankful to be featured on my friend Aaron’s awesome podcast Dramatic Travels! Give it a listen when you have a chance! Link is in my bio! I’ll be talking about the courage needed to have a credible voice, working as a travel advisor, meditating to calm my mind, and why you should date a girl who travels. Thank you @aaronschlein for having me! ❤️

It’s Scorpio Season!! ♏️ Happy birthday to us! 💕@sparksremarks @parizamani @melezalykibiza @itsmeterrylin @juvoni #happyhappy #itsmybirthday #scorpioseason

A panel with a view! Thank you to everyone who came out last night! Hope ya’ll VOTED today and was inspired by our panel of mover and shakers last night at @bh.socialclub at #1Hotel brooklynbridge brooklynbridge 🌉 We NEED more conversations like this! As Hannah Bronfman, Director of Sustainability at @1hotels said during the panel, “When you give people space — literal space like a building or figurative space like time — they really blossom and start to implement sustainability into so many different components.” This was one of the many gems of wisdom from this passionate and trailblazing panel. Thank you @ty_ushka @350org @thinkchinatown @travelwithmyght for being a part of this much needed rebranding and redefining of “sustainability”

It’s so refreshing to see women not be put into any roles except for the ones that they define for themselves. 💪🏼💕 I had the honor of attending the launch of @unearthwomen a feminist travel magazine full of stories of strong women real women being women doing women. Launched by a team of badass women themselves, congratulations @gokellylewis @pinthemapproject and the rest of your kickass team. Thank you for this new platform for all our voices #womeninspiringwomen

“Now you choose, choose between yesterday and tomorrow. Pick one. Stick with it—and I will shut up and leave you alone.”
