Where do I even start. If you followed my instagram or snapchat this past week, you know I've been in for six days of adventure and surprises. This last trip to Nicaragua was literally one of the best trips of my life. I believe that's because of two things - the people, and my willingness to try things I never have before. There is such immense pleasure that comes from the strength to just let go and try something new. There is also great reward in getting to know new people.

My trip was planned by supercharge agency, and I can honestly say I have never been treated with such respect and care in my life. They made me feel so comfortable and respected through everything.

We first landed in Managua and spent the night at a hotel in the city. I loved walking around seeing all the motorcycles and the culture. We shot some cool looks and played dress up in the town square.

The next day we woke up and drove four hours on dirt roads to this incredible horse farm called Rancho Chilamate. I felt like I was on a tv show when we walked into the breathtaking house. The surfers that worked there cooked a family style dinner for us and we drank way too much wine! It was so fun that night to stay up in the pool and just pass around the bottle and get to know each other.

We woke early the next morning to ride horses through the mountains and down to the beach. It was about a three hour ride and my heart was just so ecstatic the whole time! We filmed for Bumble & Bumble on the beach.

After that we went for another drive to Maderas Village, which was like the Bushwick hipster-ville of Nicaragua. Filled with cool surfers, yogis, and New York babes, this was probably my favorite place we stopped. Right when we arrived they were blasting interpol and offering us a drink. We slept in treehouse on top of the jungle. One night, Emily and I had a monkey fighting with a dog on our balcony. One of the surfers that worked there had to come up and pull the dog away from the monkey. It was so crazy, but I was finally getting really used to being in nature. (And having very limited wifi!) We woke to the sound of gorillas almost every morning. I also loved the endless supply of coffee that was readily available. The last morning we stayed there I did an incredible yoga class in the middle of all the trees and meditated to the sound of nature. That was a breathtaking experience that I know I may never have again.

The last place we stopped was so lux, an all white house in the hills with a breathtaking view. We stayed up cooking and drinking by the pool, and just reflecting on everything we had been through - all the travel, trials, and difficulties. I felt exhausted but empowered. I had a 14-hour travel day home yesterday, but I woke up early and hit the gym. I'm here typing this just overwhelmed and feeling blessed to get to experience something like this and create beautiful pictures along the way. This life is so beautiful and limitless, you just have to see it for yourself.
