Flying Halfway Around the World & Old Friends

Hi Everyone!

T and I made it safely and in comfort to New Zealand. We really lucked out on the flight over. We ended up having our own row on the plane, and that row happened to be Air New Zealand’s “sky couch” product. We had a cozy little bed to sleep on and an hour shorter than normal flight! Win, win in our books.

After arriving in Auckland, we went through the thorough customs search because we had some camping gear with us, and they are very strict about your gear being clean so as to not contaminate their natural environment.

After taking a bus to our hostel, we went across the street to a little cafe called Fred’s for a delicious cappuccino and a snack befoe we could get into our room. Definitely a great and delicious way to help with the jet lag!

The feeling of arriving to the Sun Gate at sunrise to look upon the magnificent ruins of Machu Picchu is indescribable. It was an absolutely incredible way to visit a historical treasure that I have been wanting to see since I was 12 years old.

Paleo Cinnamon Granola Recipe

When I first started eating Paleo, one of the things I missed the most was granola.  An acaí bowl just isn’t the same without granola in it. I couldn’t really live this way, so I did some research, and stumbled upon a Paleo granola recipe. I tried it out, and it ended up being pretty easy to make and absolutely delicious. After making it, I decided to modify it to make my own recipe because I wanted to use a lot less almond flour than the original recipe called for.

This recipe I am about to share is the first one I had really attempted to make my own, and it is one of my absolute favorites.
