Happy Friday, my fellow globe-trotters! 💫I can't help but think back on this day one year ago when I visited Tulum for the first time. Between the delicious tacos, local art, and gorgeous beaches, I truly felt like I was in paradise. 

Although I'll be spending this weekend at home, it doesn't mean I can't look back on these fond travel memories, or better yet, dream about new travel memories to come — like when I can finally cross Oaxaca off my bucket list!
