Hi, it's nice to meet you!

YOU = FUN, OUTGOING, CURIOUS, ADVENTUROUS, LOVE LIFE AND YOU LOVE YOUR KIDS. YOU ARE THE EXPLORER. TRAVEL IS YOUR PASSION. IF YOU HAD A CHANCE YOU'D SPEND ALL YOUR TIME OUTDOORS, GOING PLACES, HIKING TRAILS, CLIMBING MOUNTAINS, CAMPING IN THE WILD, WALKING ON THE BEACH. …are you also a hustler?

YOU ENJOY THOUGHTFUL CONVERSATION, GOOD FOOD, GOOD WINE, TIME WITH YOUR FAMILY AND HAVING FUN WITH YOUR LITTLE ONES.

YOU CARE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT, YOU ARE TRYING TO LIVE A SUSTAINABLE ECO-FRIENDLY LIFESTYLE, AND YOU ARE TEACHING YOUR CHILDREN TO RESPECT AND CARE FOR MOTHER NATURE. …you may even be interested in blogging about your experiences?

.

MY GUESS YOU ARE PRETTY AWESOME AND YOU WANT TO LIVE YOUR LIFE TO THE FULLEST!!!

.

Well, it is too bad you have less and less time lately… You are bogged down with family and home routine, constant flow of laundry, meal prep and kids parties, with all the commitments and expectations you've inherited by simply becoming a Mother. The focus shifted from you to your little-ones. You love your kids to the moon and back, but you no longer have time for self-care, for your wants and needs, for things you used to enjoy…

You are longing to find time to go places, to be back on trails, to enjoy a night around campfire, to hop on a plane and be off to that last minute vacation trip that you've just booked yesterday..

So let me ask you a question you’ve been thinking about anyway.. Does it have to be so f%king hard?!

Girl, let me assure you. There is a way. ..and it's even better!

There is a way to live to the fullest, share your passions with your kids and have even more fun! more adventure! and many more discoveries!

Hi I am Alexandra,

I AM = MOTHER TO A 3YO, TRAVEL ADDICT, BOLD, UPFRONT, CONFIDENT, AMBITIOUS, OVERACHIEVER [recovering]. I LOVE ADVENTURE, NEW PLACES, WIND IN MY HAIR, STUNNING VIEWS FROM THE TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN, SUNRISES AND SUNSETS OVER THE OCEAN, TAKING PICTURES OF MY SON, AND TEACHING MY SON TO TAKE PICTURES OF ME (haha)

I enjoy deep house music, oysters and good Californian Cab. Sav. and an occasional board game when friends come over.

Most of everything I LOVE TRAVEL. Before I had a child I used to travel, like, A LOT. Overall I’ve been to 4 continents, 20+ countries, 200+ cities. I have an active TripAdvisor profile, which surprisingly has close to 205,000++ readership.

I’m looking at my TripAdvisor profile and am thinking: how did I become soooo lost?! At some point of my life I’ve changed direction here and there, lost focus, almost forgot what I love most [travel!] and ended up bogged down in this absurd career and business race…

Recovering Hustler & Overachiever

In my real life I am a business/career kick-ass girl, overachiever type. I’m sure you’ve met one of us at some point of your life. With the goal of becoming independent I’ve tried literally everything. I’ve survived 2 immigrations, pulled myself through 2 degrees, had a corporate job, tried to enter law school (3 times! Do happy now I did NOT make it!!!). I’ve always hustled on the side – having 3-4 things going on for me at once was a norm. As a serial entrepreneur have started 2 e-commerce and mobile app startups. My latest startup, despite that I worked 16hr days 7 days/week for the past 1.5 years, is struggling due to circumstances outside my control. As a result I’m in debt, I went through a nightmare of personal burnout and was that close to a full-blown depression… I never thought it was possible. But it happened to me.

So NOW I chose to stop. I chose to step back, I chose to refocus back on myself, my family and what we love to do most – travel, explore and adventure.

In this blog I’ll be sharing my experience in transition from the “hamster-wheel-running” business/startup 24/7 life to a [hopefully] well-balanced lifestyle, focused on self-care and my family.

Over the last 3 years of being a Mother, whenever I could, I have found ways to explore and adventure together with my son. Now that I've made a decision to dedicate more time to my family, I'd be digging deeper into this direction and share our experiences, tips & tricks, advise.

…I mean, I am reading some blogs out there and see families travel like 100-150 days per year – I want to do just that! So I intend to learn how to make it happen. I'll be happy to share our experience!

But I also hope I can ask YOU questions, so we can support each other and learn from each other. I want to learn anything and everything about self-care, mental balance, happy mindset, organic eco-friendly products for me and my baby.

Let’s do it! I’m ready.
