This weekend, I set aside time to indulge in Tracee Ellis Ross’s second season of “Solo Traveling” on Roku.

Besides being in total awe of each travel destination, a coupled fascination included observations that I noted throughout my viewing.

There were infinite gems of knowledge, wisdom and discovering happiness dropped within each episode. And, it’d be a disservice if I did not share what I learned. Class is in session.

So, here we are – enjoy!

Melbourne, Australia

• How is she this chic while traveling?

• The beauty of the world never ceases to amaze me.

• I’m sold: Gotta try the Pattern Beauty Leave In and Mousse (name?)

• And… I must learn how to cornrow my own hair!

• Vintage shopping in Melbourne? Yes, please!

• A smile is the best accessory.

• I love when fashion icons speak fashion. 

• Take an unexpected walk, a surprise may be waiting.

Gstaad, Switzerland

• Should I add skiing to the bucket list?

• When we revisit old versions of ourselves, we remember what truly makes us 

• Solo dining = happy dance breaks after every bite

• Think of selfie sessions as your personal editorials.

• Tracee packing tip: pack with a story/theme (neutrals, colors, prints, etc).

Northern Thailand

• Bring your family and friends with you when you travel. Speak them into your experience. 

• “Have a full experience.”

• Tracee’s optimism, her gracious spirit and her respect for cultures allows her to adapt in her travel adventures. 

• I need a meditation sess in Thailand. Immediately. 

• Who knew a walk with the elephants would be so transcendent?

• Don’t fight it – embrace the beauty of aging. 

• Affirmational gold: Strong. Powerful. Humble. 

• When water calls to you, you answer.

• When you match the energy of nature, you’re one step closer the divine connection.
