This Shark Week I want to remind everyone that Shark are not monsters. They are not indiscriminate killers. They are beautiful apex predators who deserve to live. The waters are not “shark-infested”- that’s their home. They are curious and respectful creatures who are killed by the tens of millions every year. Save sharks. ⁣

I admit it. I can’t resist a swing. Add in a pretty beach, palm trees, the sun and ocean waves and you have my ideal spot.

Find this spot at the Dream Cabana Hotel on south coast of Sri Lanka. There’s even a friendly dog that hangs out.

Just an FYI I didn’t stick the landing and ended up in the drink. Am I sorry? Not a bit. Just maybe bring a towel. ⁣

Sri Lanka is 50 shades of green. I have never seen so much green everywhere.

This train to Ella is consistently ranked one of the most beautiful in the world (and the cheapest). It’s only a couple of dollars.

Pro tip: Get 2nd class reserved- not 1st class. This may be the only time you hear that advice from me 😂, but in this case the windows don’t open in 1st class bc of the air conditioning. We bought second class to have the open windows and the breeze. Don’t worry- it wasn’t too hot. There was lots of shade and cool mountain air- it was perfect.

Make sure your phone/camera has a full battery! There are bathrooms on board! Bring snacks or sometimes people come on at stops at sell them. ⁣

Have you ever ridden a train where you can hang out the doors and the windows and watch the world go by? What an awesome experience taking the train to Ella, Sri Lanka. This train ride is often counted as one of the most beautiful in the world. ⁣

You can probably still hear the faint echos of my delighted squeals of “wweeeee” echoing through the mountains. Just remember- you’re never too old to swing. 😉 ⁣

We set off to find the nine arches bridge aka my office computer background. One early morning tuk tuk to a hidden staircase into the jungle to a worn path along the railroad tracks, that opened into a clearing in the forest and we were there! ⁣

Traditional Sri Lankan stick fishing with the locals. They go out every morning and this was a traditional method of earning a living as a fisherman. ⁣

This weekend we drove up to visit @buffalotracedis

This weekend we drove up to visit @buffalotracedistillery on a whim. We got there pretty early on Saturday to get in line for the allocated bottle of the day (Blanton’s). There were so many cheerful and kind employees to help keep everything smooth and answer questions. One employee even brought a bottle of water to a man in line who was thirsty. Every single person we spoke to was incredibly kind and wanted to make sure we had the best experience. This was by far our favorite distillery, and whole heartedly recommend a visit. Save this post for tips on visiting!

🐎 Buffalo Trace is dog friendly!

🐎Tours can be hard to book in advance due to high demand, however, many times you can get a walk up cancellation spot if your plans are flexible.

🐎BBQ at the firehouse cafe is soo good there

🐎Tours and Tastings are free! Don’t miss the tastings upstairs!

🐎Bottles of bourbon are 1 per person and there is one allocated bottle a day that rotates from 4.

More questions? Let me know! ⁣

It’s no secret to anyone how much I love @vegas and I often call it “my second home town.” This trip I jumped off @stratvegas which is the tallest building in Las Vegas. This was so fun and such a rush! Without a doubt one of the coolest things I’ve done- when can I go again?!?⁣
