Masaya Volcano Sunset Hike in Nicaragua
GAdventures Volcano Trail Tour 1/2013

Let’s decide to journey together with a clear intentional statement for how we want to live our lives today and everyday thereafter! Come from the feeling place as you envision what you desire it to be, so you can begin to manifest this into your life. Then commit to it by bringing it forward from your mind and writing it out. Make it real and acknowledge what it is for you. Allow yourself to hold the space of all these desires in your heart, mind and soul.

While on my flight to San Jose, Costa Rica for my GAdventures Volcano Trail Tour, I considered again my decision for traveling on this adventurous trip – continuing to embrace stepping outside my comfort zone, taking more risks, having more once-in-a-lifetime experiences, and reconnecting with [Continue Reading...]

Sarina + Martin, GAdventures Tour Guide. Conquered hiking Volcan Santa Ana – highest active volcano in El Salvador! GAdventures Volcano Trail Tour – 1/2013

Hiking up a Volcano on a beautiful paradise tropical island off the coast of Nicaragua on NYE/New Year’s Day is exactly where I intended to be when I booked my GAdventures fascinating tour to Central America, and traveled to Costa Rica, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala!

However, plans changed and I came to realize that hiking up Volcano Concepcion or Volcano Madera while in Nicaragua wasn’t going to happen for several reasons. It rained the day before making these extreme hikes now dangerous, especially for a beginner volcano hiker like myself. I was also sleep deprived and exhausted from waking up at 3:30am the night before, not to mention that I had come down with sinus cold and cough. So we continued on with our tour to El Salvador and I learned of [Continue Reading...]

Denis Waitley Quote / Source - Etsy.com

Have you ever considered your sense of responsibility and if it’s working for you or against you in what you ultimately want to achieve in your life?

Being responsible is definitely essential. However, your degree of responsibility could be getting in your own way. That is of discovering who you truly are as an individual, and what you have to contribute and experience in this world. Fear of the unknown, reasons or excuses we tell ourselves or others can simply get in the way. As a result, we remain on the same path or in the same situation, without trying something new. And therefore limiting our true potential and outcomes. A case of when sense of responsibility is working against us here.

It’s a universal truth that anything extreme is not necessarily good for us. [Continue Reading...]

Grand Palace in Bangkok, Thailand – GAdventures Tour – 2/2012 Traveling to other countries has resulted in life changing & adventurous experiences! Learning how to better embrace being out of my element!

Commitment to learning is a mission to staying true to yourself and reconnecting with your divine self. For some people, like myself, this fiery desire of learning is just something I can’t live without, and is almost like an addiction.

Have another confession for you!

So recently, when I was feeling like I lost my creativity and wasn’t quite sure what to do about it, I was not in my best place, and went into this searching phase of trying to figure out what to do next. Then I came to realize that obsessing over this concern was just not working for me. It was actually having the opposite effect, where I was blocking the positive energy and creativity. Hello! How could I have not recognized this? It was time to shift [Continue Reading...]

Had an epiphany the other day in realizing how I made it to where I am today in my life. For years, I had been attributing it to hope, determination, being insightful, analytical and resourceful. However, it became quite obvious that it goes beyond just that.

It actually comes down to implementing the special dynamic duo of Hope and Expectations. Similar, yet not quite the same meaning in this respect. Hope, or the faith that my future would be better, is what motivated me. Expectations are what I saw as actions taken based on the Hope. So it was both Hope and Expectations that I had to be successful in life that formed my ambition to create the life that I desired.

Hope and Expectation that my life would be better and [Continue Reading...]
