  • In case you were wondering, You are enough. ღ ‣ You are good enough You are strong enough You are kind enough You are loved enough You are brave enough You are smart enough You are beautiful enough You are talented enough & You are enough of anything you think you lack thereof. ‣ Here’s your weekly reminder That the glass is half full, not empty.
  • So many people have asked of my favourite places during my European roadtrip and easily Hallstatt makes the list. ‣ Although it can be touristy and overpriced, there was still a magic to this little town that made all the chaos disappear. ‣ I know Europe in general can sometimes be touristy and overpriced during the high season, but it was the small moments @philsuslow and I managed to carve in between that made all the difference. ‣ When the town was flooded with Asian tourists, we snuck into the outskirts and enjoyed the peacefulness by the lake. Eventually swans joined our company. 🦢 ‣ Instead of eating at one of the many overpriced restaurants, we spotted a small shawarma stand that sold food on paper plates for €3-9 euros. It became our regular dining spot. ‣ In every country you can find your way around the noise and expensiveness, and some can be more challenging than others. Although Hallstatt is a tiny town, if you embrace it with an open mind and a curious heart, it isn’t hard to find the small hidden beauties. ‣ On a side note, as a Thai-American, there were SO MANY Thai people in Hallstatt. I’m not sure if Hallstatt is partnered with Thai tourism or something, but I wasn’t expecting to be around so many Thai people in this small Austrian town. 😂 Anyone have an explanation for this?
  • Happy Friday everyone! Hope you enjoy the weekend! ✨
  • I often get asked what I pack when traveling with only a carry-on luggage. My secret... ‣ One word: Rompers ‣ Literally the best things ever. A complete outfit in one, space saving, and super cute. ‣ Lol. Also great for people like me who are lazy AF when it comes to getting dressed. So simple and easy, and now you know. 😉
  • “The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time.” - Bertrand Russell ‣ Our last day in Hallstatt was spent perusing the town in the early morning and watching the swans by the lake. ‣ P.s. I’m actually extremely afraid of birds, so in this moment I was terrified. Lol.
  • There was something about this little town that I fell in love with. ‣ Maybe it was the mountains, the cute houses with perfectly trimmed flowers, or the lake that made this place feel even more like a fairytale, but I knew in my heart that someday I would come back. ‣ Moments and places like these are why I travel. Finding a home away from home. ❤️
  • Traveling only with a carry-on luggage, I was neither prepared nor expecting to be amidst a blizzard whilst in Europe for the summer. But as my father says, “No crazy, no fun” so I packed on as much layers of clothes as possible and braced the storm. ❄️ #adventure
  • The more you travel, the more the heart grows and the world shrinks. 🌎

    55+ HAPPINESS QUOTES TO MAKE YOUR LIFE BETTER

FAVOURITE QUOTES

"Our fingerprints will never fade from the lives that we've touched." – Remember Me (2010)

“If you have not taken the time to define what happiness means to you, what have your spent your whole life pursuing?” – Bo Bennett

"Try not to be a (wo)man of success, but rather try to become a (wo)man of value." – Albert Einstein

In seeing new sights and meeting new faces, we are reminded to rearrange routine and take the long way home every now and again." – Artifact Uprising

"As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world – that is the myth of the atomic age – as in being able to remake ourselves." – Mahatma Gandhi

  • Happy World Mental Health Day ❤️ ‣ If you or anyone you know is struggling with mental health, please reach out to someone — anyone. For some, your community will be your lifeline. ‣ An option of reaching out to someone, but not knowing how, is to give them a card with thoughtful and empathetic words of support. ‣ @thoughtfulhuman has a range of supportive cards that embrace difficult moments such as depression, grief, addiction, etc. ‣ This is not at all meant to be an advertisement, this is a genuine love for a company doing incredible things to help positively grow and support the mental health community. ‣ I know when I first came out with my depression to close friends, I WISHED I had these cards not just for myself, but to give to those I was opening up to because I could notice that some were conflicted in how to approach the situation. ‣ I even wish that these were available back when I had gone through severe depression so that I could have felt less alone. ‣ So reach out, speak up, say something to someone, focus on taking care of yourself, and know that you are never alone even in your darkest times. ✨ ‣ ‣ ‣ ‣ ‣ 📸: @effustephen
  • I am so excited to announce my collaboration with @thoughtfulhuman, an incredible company changing the way we perceive and engage with mental health. ‣ Over the years, mental and emotional health topics have become very near and dear to my heart. Having personally experienced and diagnosed with severe depression, I cannot emphasize enough how frightening, isolating, and life debilitating it can feel when you’re struggling with mental health issues. ‣ Thoughtful Human advocates radical kindness and empathy to help destigmatize mental health issues while providing a tool to aid open and honest communication with those who are going through challenging times. Not only do they challenge other topics such as cancer, addiction, and relationships, their products are eco-friendly and made with plantable seed paper. 🌱 ‣ If you’d like to learn more about their company and how you can shop their products, check out ThoghtfulHuman.co or find their merchandise in select Target and Whole Foods stores. ‣ P.S. if you’re searching for an AMAZING and unique gift for a loved one this holiday season, these support cards would be an incredible option to spread kindness and foster love. ❤️🎄 ‣ More photos from collab: pamelasendee.com/thoughtful-human/ ‣ 📸: @effustephen
  • Life is too short to not be who you want to be. Be yourself. Be happy. Do whatever makes you feel valuable and fulfilled. ‣ Wake up with a smile. Have compassion in your heart. Love more than anything. ‣ Live freely. Speak honestly. Engage wisely. ‣ Do something extraordinary with your life, because you are nothing less than exceptional. ✨
