A Happy Friday picture!

 

So beyond sad that this trip ended! I loved my time in Ecuador with Caitlin. When I have more time, I will tell of our crazy adventure together.

Ladies and Gents

Hey everyone!

Welcome to my blog page. I finally decided to start this so everyone could follow me in my somewhat hectic and chaotic life. The blog name 'seat belts optional' came to me a few days ago as I was adventuring around South America. Riding in a taxi late at night, I embraced the edgy practice of not wearing a seatbelt and after a close call with a red light, realized that it's a way of life. I am not a play-it-safer. I don't like living life within boundaries, or giving myself limits. I like random vacations, scrambling to the top of a mountain with nothing more than the song in my head to keep me company, diving into freezing water without seeing the bottom, exploring by moonlight, and traveling to a country where you don't speak the language. You see, we all have a different idea of what really living unbridled is, but throw caution to the wind. Live the life you were meant to live. Do things you are proud of.

And think, if your life were a movie, would you really want it to go straight to VHS?

Life. The seat belts optional version.

 

This was me as a child. Clearly, seat belts are optional.
