Playing in Lara Favaretto’s sculpture @thebassmo

Playing in Lara Favaretto’s sculpture @thebassmoa ~ a fantastic modern art museum in Miami. Thanks wife for being my fave videographer all the time. 💋.
And I got a snazzy new-to-me jumpsuit @crossroadstrading in #oaklandcalifornia. I love recycled fashion 😍.

so much fun and so surreal flyin’ over the sawgrass marsh in the airboat. I loved it out in the Everglades and I’m definitely fascinated by the alligators. So happy about the adventures I have w/ my wife. We have so much fun together 💚

Singapore! My new blog post (link in bio✨) explores LGBTQ rights and housing in Singapore from my undereducated but highly interested point of view. Plus! Lots of pretty pics of this gorgeously curated city state and its intriguing culture. Singapore floats on the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula in Southeast Asia. Have you been?

And here I am in front of a beautiful Peranakan style house. .

My best wife had a best friend paint the best birt

My best wife had a best friend paint the best birthday surprise. Thanks @travelincagirls for your greatness & @gretamclain of @goodspacemurals for being my favorite muralist 💛💙💜❤️ The fantastical cactus dream scene was inspired by the #oaxaca trip Greta & I took recently. I’m honored Greta is and has been mi querida amiga since we were roommates in #mexicocity 16 years ago!
Separately, I’ve always joked to my wife we should have a life size portrait of me over our bed. I didn’t ever think it would happen! 😂🥳🥰.

Museums crack my heart open. Especially modern art

Museums crack my heart open. Especially modern art museums. Ideas buried inside my rib cage begin to bloom with possibility. Sometimes a piece of art will send electricity through me or start a wave of warmth moving in my chest. Every time we travel we seek out the contemporary and modern art places because they tell such a story of who and what and how and why and the human experience of the time. And it’s usually all full of color—which I love. The @nationalgallerysingapore is hosting the #singaporebiennale which is amazing + their exhibit titled ‘Siapa Nama Kamu?’ (“What Is Your Name,” in Malay) explores how art relates to self and how it reflects the growth of the Singaporean identity. Also, I loved this sound installation / staircase. Made my heart pitter patter. Thank you, Singapore. .

Both these books!! LOVED the special weirdness of #thefamilyfang and the protagonist of #americanspy is simultaneously relatable and badass (and so well written). It’s amazing. Thanks for your great words, @thrillkinson & #kevinwilson 📚 What are y’all reading?

Amazing Quebec City, August 2019. Sun, rain, bikes

Amazing Quebec City, August 2019. Sun, rain, bikes, art, walking, and acres of French pastries.
1. Can’t resist a #turquoisedoor
2. Fresque des Quebecois
3. Bike ride to Montmorency Falls
4. Ferry across the St. Lawrence looking at the historic Fairmont Le Château Frontenac
5. Soft Shells, amazing exhibit by Libby Oliver at the Musee de la Civilisation
6. Oscar, the pampered pig
7. Maelstrøm St-Roch, definitely one of my top five favorite cafes
8. Musée National des Beaux-arts du Québec. Glorious museum complex spanning centuries
Also saw a beautiful, educational, and eye-opening exhibit @mcqorg about the First Nations communities in Quebec. So much more to learn and see. I didn’t get photos of the exhibit but want to pay my respects to the original inhabitants of Quebec

Hurray for @prettyspiritualpodcast! I love podcast

Hurray for @prettyspiritualpodcast! I love podcasting w/ Ella and @lindsayponi. Our podcast dives into different topics as we navigate this sweet, messy life using spiritual tools and principles. Our podcast is tender, goofy, and so much fun. I never thought I’d be interested in spirituality, much less be making a podcast exploring it with two such wonderful women. Would love for you to check one of our episodes ☝🏼link in the bio☝🏼. ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Step inside @liodentra -our magical place in Karda

Step inside @liodentra -our magical place in Kardamyli. I am obsessed with the interior paint in our place. Please enjoy my photo shoot 🥳. I kind of want to be best friends with the owner as her taste is so exquisite. I never took myself for a neutral paint palette kind of gal, but it’s hard to argue w/ creamy perfection. If this is farmhouse decor, I’m sold. My fave are the two bathrooms in all their beet and blush muted glory. Am I going on?
We booked the bungalow but high season has yet to hit, so Nina (the incredibly gracious owner) upgraded us to one of the two houses (there are 3 rentals in the compound). Outside the stone gate we’re steps from Ritska Beach and a few minutes walk to Kardamyli where my wife hopes to become a regular with the old Greek men sipping coffee all afternoon at the outdoor cafes. Pretty much it’s heaven. And the paint. ✨✨✨ .

Gorgeous Balos Lagoon on the Gramvousa peninsula 💙 Turquoise water and white sand and sweet sunshine.
We cruised with road goats to cross the mountain then hike down into this bay for swimming and nature worship. So much beauty!
The lagoon formed after an earthquake in 365 AD and is home to several species (such as a pretty little daisy) that are indigenous to this very spot. Thanks Crete for your beautiful beaches!
