Hey friends! I know, I know... it’s been a minute since I’ve updated the blog. My last post was way back in February when we were headed into Coachella after some time in Vegas, and let me tell you—life has not slowed down one bit since then. Coachella itself was a blast—but not without its drama. While we were there, Henry’s tricycle got stolen, which was a total bummer. But the good far outweighed the bad. We visited Joshua Tree National Park which was really cool! I love those trees. I got to spend time with my Evo Fam. We met up with friends at Knott’s Berry Farm which was so fun and the homemade Jam was DELISH. A quick trip to Dallas for a much-needed girls trip. I even made a quick detour back to Vegas for an overnight to celebrate some birthdays.

After Coachella, we did something wild—we tucked the RV into storage and made the long haul from California all the way back to Connecticut. Straight through. No sightseeing. Just gas and snacks. We got to spend some much-needed time with family!

While we were back East, we jumped on a cruise with family and a few friends—and it was such a blast! One of the coolest surprises? At one of the ports, another ship was docked and some of our Evo Fam were on it too, so we got to catch up mid-vacation. Total small-world moment. And believe it or not… it rained in Aruba. If you know, you know—it never rains in Aruba. But leave it to us to bring the clouds! Still an amazing time, rain and all. I got to hang with my girl, Christal and Henry got his pampering :)


After the cruise, I squeezed in a quick trip to NYC to meet up with my sister who lives in Florida—we hadn’t seen each other in a while, so dinner in the city was such a treat. And of course, one of the biggest highlights of the trip: celebrating my dad’s 60th birthday! The party was a blast, full of laughs, memories, and good vibes all around. And unlike his 50th… this time, no cops were called. We’re calling that personal growth.

By the end of May, we were back on the road—this time landing in sunny San Diego for a full month of slower living. We worked, wandered, soaked in the weather, and just breathed. The boys were also happy to be back home.

After wrapping up our month in San Diego, we made our way up to San Dimas for a few weeks—and decided to play tourist for a bit. We took full advantage of our perks and hit up Disneyland and Universal Studios, which never disappoint. One of the highlights? The behind-the-scenes tour at Universal. Getting a glimpse at the sets and studios was such a cool experience.

After ringing in the Fourth of July in San Dimas, we headed up to Santa Clarita. Can I just say—the weather in SoCal is truly unmatched. Warm days, cool nights, and zero humidity? I’m going to miss that more than I can explain!

And then… it was time for CONVENTION WEEK.

We kicked things off in Long Beach aboard the historic Queen Mary, where over 50 of our travel vendors showed up for ongoing trainings, updates, and a ton of free swag.

After that, we boarded a 5-day cruise packed with leadership workshops, connection, and inspiration. Every single day reminded me why I love this industry so much—and lit an even bigger fire in me to help more people create freedom through travel. It was amazing to reconnect with my team, fellow entrepreneurs, and friends who have become family. Huge shoutout to my ride-or-die bestie Amy, who flew all the way out here to watch our pups so we could fully unplug and soak up every moment.

Next year’s convention? HAWAII. And yes, we’re already counting down the days.

Today, we’ve officially landed in Paso Robles—a place that’s been on our list for a while. We’re looking forward to good friends, great wine, and continuing this beautiful, unpredictable, freedom-filled journey. We’ve got some exciting adventures ahead, and I’m looking forward to sharing them all!

Until next time!
