WEEK 5: Hopped from Mazunte Mexico to Antigua and finally Lake Atitlan in Guatemala. This transitory week consisted of committing to a 10 day vipassana retreat in March in Colombia, swimming with dolphins in the deep vast Pacific oceans, wandering the historical streets of Antigua, and landing in what possibly could be a peaceful heaven: Lake Atitlan!

WEEK 7 San Marcos, Lake Atitlan, Guatemala Part II: In my last week at San Marcos, I share what local life is truly like in Lake Atitlan and the personalities of 5 towns surrounding the lake. Also, 3 hilarious events unfolded that I share, which include lucid dreaming, uncoupling my identity with my belongings during meditation, and diving deep into self-love in a traditional Mayan peyote ceremony.

WEEK 9 Uvita, Costa Rica: Traveled from Guatemala to Costa Rica for annual transformational festival called Envision! Partook in tons of classes including breathwork, contact improvisation, and shamanic dream journeying. Witnessed and captured some AMAZING music performances for you as well.

I also sat in a San Pedro ceremony for the first time with the intention of diving into where my lack of self-love derives from. I share my story and experience working with San Pedro in a newly opened retreat center in Uvita called Synergy! Watch the video to learn more!

WEEK 11 Sacred Valley, Peru: Kicked off my month of deep self-work and self-healing by deciding to sit with ayahuasca, kambo, and san pedro in the beautiful land of Sacred Valley in Peru. I went in with intentions around self-love/self-worth, releasing, and connecting with my inner masculinity. It's beautiful what the medicine will continually teach us and I am humbled and honored to share the learnings I received with you.

WEEK 13&14 Cali, Colombia: A very challenging but full of growth two weeks as I went into my first 10 day silent Vipassana meditation retreat taught by S.N. Goenka! We sat for 10 hours a day practicing Vipassana while staying in complete silence for the whole 10 days. We learned how to purify the mind by not reacting to sensations produced by the subconscious mind. We learned how to see things happening as they are, and be able to embody equanimity through it all. We learned how to practice Anicca -- the law of impermanence -- by scanning our body for any sensations and not reacting to them. We finally learned how to apply all we learned into our day-to-day lives to have a happier, more purified, less craving-filled life.

WEEK 17&18 Colombia & Costa Rica: 4 months ago, I wrote down a 10 year vision I intend to manifest, one of which included learning how to DJ so I could always provide good music for good people for good times on a whim notice. The universe provided me with one hell of a sign when I was in Guatemala with a pamphlet asking if I wanted to learn how to become an Ecstatic DJ in Portugal. I immediately said yes, and this is what unfolded!

WEEK 4: Ventured to the mountains of San Jose del Pacifico and beaches of Mazunte Mexico. Dreamed with eyes wide open for my 10 year vision, took magic mushrooms legally in mountains of Mexico where it grows naturally, and swam with bioluminescent plankton in Laguna de Manialtepec! A week filled with powerful reflections and whacky adventures. Watch the video to learn more.

WEEK 6 San Marcos, Lake Atitlan, Guatemala: I felt like a kid at Disneyland, except for conscious events! I experienced everything from handpan ceremonies, aerial yoga, 4am hike up the mountain for an epic sunrise, ecstatic dances, and so much more in this epic haven! Also spent time starting my healing process of past trauma with deep introspective questions and journaling. Watch the video to learn more.

WEEK 8 Peten, Guatemala: I flew to the northeast part of Guatemala to explore the ancient Mayan ruins, particularly the abandoned cities of Tikal and Yaxha! The complexity of these cities is jaw-dropping, and the pure beauty that still exists even after thousands of years is awe-inspiring. Watch the video to learn more!

WEEK 10 Cusco & Sacred Valley, Peru: Settled down in Peru after a week of frolicking at Envision. Spent some time in beautiful Cusco and made my way over to the mesmerizing Sacred Valley. Couldn't resist and got two new (music) toys that I'm committing to practicing and carrying around the world with me to share.

Also finally got inked with my owl+seva tattoo I've been waiting for in Pisac with an amazing artist (@zkorvin)! I openly share the story behind this piece and my commitment to practicing SEVA (selfless service) moving forward. Watch the video to learn more!

WEEK 12 Sacred Valley, Peru: Continued my month of deep self-work by committing to trekking through 50 miles of pure magnificent nature of the Andes mega mountains for 5 days to Machu Picchu via Salkantay Trek! I have never done something of this magnitude and went into it blind without any preparation or research, but jumped into it because I believed it would be a perfect way to integrate the lessons I received from my previous week sitting with plant medicine. Boy was it perfect timing, and learned so much more about how we can be in flow without suffering if we just accept and surrender (to the physical pain hiking for so long). I also share my best photos and videos of the trek so you can breathe it all in!

WEEK 15&16 Colombia & Costa Rica: 13 months ago, I received a vague vision that I would sell my tech company and be part of building a campus center that focused on offering alternative medicine/modalities to heal, transform, and elevate people when traditional ways did not serve. I thought... wtf, yeah right?! #toowoowoo and how could a startup techie manifest this within this lifetime?

In 2019, I gifted myself 1 year of backpacking travels around the world, which resulted in ~16 countries. And in each of those 365 days, I would record 1 second that spoke to me. This is what I captured all together.
