Like I’m seeing from many others, @anthonybourdain played a significant role in shaping my attitude toward experiencing new and strange things. I rarely say no to an adventure anymore...I think that has a lot to do with the example he set for us all. . His death hurts in a deeply personal and upsetting way. In the years before I realized I could stop saying “someday” about my dreams, I devoured anything Bourdain wrote, filmed, and simply said. It fueled me. And when @nkollman and I went on a wild goose chase in search of the Lady in the Cowboy Hat through the night markets of Chang Mai, Bourdain gave me another gift - the best meal we’d ever had in our lives. I remember sitting there, laughing big belly laughs and feeling immensely grateful for the influence of this man we would likely never meet. . I’ll leave you with a Bourdain quote that I have written in the front cover of all of my travel journals. It’s one of the truest things I’ve ever heard. Especially now. Thank you for this beautiful, painful mark you’ve left on my heart, Anthony. I hope you have found peace. . "As you move through this life and this world, you change things slightly, you leave marks behind, however small. And in return, life - and travel - leaves marks on you. Most of the time, those marks - on your body or on your heart - are beautiful. Often, though, they hurt." . #partsunknown #feedyoursoul #ripanthonybourdain #changmai #khaokhamoo #thailand #traveldeeper #passionpassport #travel #foodgasm #eatdrinktravel #eggslut
Today I was sick and feeling maudlin. Then I looked at pictures of some of my favorite places and felt better. . I’m lucky that the places that helped heal me then can keep doing it from thousands of miles away. Ready to go exploring again...I’m getting wanderlust-y. . . . #nzmustdo #newzealand #homeawayfromhome #travelbug #wanderlust #trees #trails #travel #slowdown #takeabreath #findyourhappy #passionpassport #instapassport #traveldeeper #commutetheplanet #girlsthattravel #beautifuldestinations #roamtheplanet #explorenz #travelgram #travelphotography #thatsdarling #adventure #instagood #bluesky #green #backpacking #travelstoke #theglobewanderer
