What was your most unforgettable moment during our time in Utah?
Soooo many, omg! Where do I start?! The horseback riding is a winner.
What part of the trip pushed you out of your comfort zone — and how did it feel?
Traveling in a group of more than two people — I haven’t done that before, so that was definitely new for me. It taught me to be more patient, compassionate, and understanding.
What’s one thing you’ll never look at the same after this trip?
Probably the sky. I know now that there are way more stars than we can ever see here in Miami
Sunrise hike or stargazing by the fire — which one was your vibe and why?
This one is tough! Probably the sunrise hike because I had never done one before.
What did you learn about yourself during this adventure?
That I can be more creative and productive — I just need a change of scenery!
What’s one item you packed that turned out to be a total lifesaver?
My tripod — shockingly, haha!
Which moment made you pause and think, “I’ll remember this forever”?
When I was horseback riding and we walked over the canyon — such a mesmerizing moment.
If you could relive just one part of this experience, which would it be?
Star watching and laughing in that old car at the movie theater with the girls.
What was the most Instagram vs. reality moment you had on this trip?
Probably me shooting next to the horse — definitely one of those moments!
What’s the best advice you would give your younger self?
Say “yes” to more things!
Which fellow traveler inspired you most and why?
Jess — she has such an incredible, loving energy and is super talented. I can’t wait to see what we created together!
What’s something on your bucket list that you haven’t done yet?
A safari. That’s been number one on my list for a while now.
What’s your favorite thing about your job?
Freedom.
What’s the most beautiful thing about the city you live in?
The fact that you're kind of forced to stay healthy and fit all year round.
What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?
Never take anything personally.
What’s something coming up for you that you’re excited about?
My own pilates socks line.
What was your favorite part about this getaway to Ofland Escalante?
Everything!!! From star watching to peaceful yoga moments with unforgettable views, dinner with Blake, movie theater nights, hiking, early breakfasts at the canyon, horseback riding, dinner making with the girls, content creation, four-wheeler rides — literally everything.
