Spain

Hey there!

I’m Maritza! To me, travel is about seeing that there is more than one way to experience life, and that in itself is a liberating thing. My guess is that you do too if you’re here ✨Travel Notes and Things is an online resource to help you gain insight about the freeing, beautiful, meaningful, and everlasting positive effects of travel in the light of personal growth, clarity, reflection, and inspiration to learn about oneself while roaming the world and being at home. It doesn’t have to be complicated, or super deep, it just has to make you w(a)nder more about what else is out there to take in. The world is big, amazing, and full of lessons. There’s never a better time to explore and experience it for yourself than now. Thanks for stopping by.

Why do love we travel?⁣⁣⁠
⁣⁣⁠
I know for me, this week is quite interesting especially. I was supposed to be in Europe right now. Paris to be exact. Then Madrid tomorrow (my favorite European city). ⁣⁣⁠
⁣⁣⁠
But I've thought of a couple of things now that I've had the time, which has prompted me this question:⁣⁣⁠
⁣⁣⁠
Why do I love to travel? ⁣⁣⁠
⁣⁣⁠
Why do we love to travel?⁣⁣⁠
⁣⁣⁠
𝐈𝐭'𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐨𝐦. The physical freedom, the mental freedom, and spiritual freedom to think and be and break out of any limiting beliefs we have. To learn something new. ⁣⁣⁠
⁣⁣⁠
If we can't get physical freedom, there's still mental and spiritual freedom to tap into and create for ourselves. Even at home. ⁣⁣⁠
⁣⁣⁠
Here are some of the thing's that I've been doing to create mental and spiritual freedom:⁣⁣⁠
⁣⁣⁠
1. Reading inspiring content (shout out to Dr. Joe Dispenza!)⁣⁣⁠
⁣⁣⁠
2. Moving my body outside on a walk or indoors in a workout and even organizing and just getting 𝐥 𝐨 𝐬 𝐭 in that.⁣⁣⁠
⁣⁣⁠
3. Carving time out to sit and listen to my breathing without thinking (meditate).⁣⁣⁠
⁣⁣⁠
4. Creating a moment in the day that I look forward to the most (mine is the morning ☀️) and just enjoy it. ⁣⁣⁠
⁣⁣⁠
5. Creating something - a post like this, an international dish, writing, designing, literally anything. ⁣⁣⁠
⁣⁣⁠
If we are all still at home (depending on where in the world you are) imagine this time to be literally "free" from going into your workspace (office, etc.), and sit outside for a bit. Do things you wouldn't normally do on a Thursday. Do something fun at 11 am when normally you'd be at work. 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐨𝐦. ⁣⁠
⁣⁣⁠
Think back to those reasons that attract you to travel, and try to tap into that at home.⁣⁣⁠
⁣⁣⁠
🌎Happy free travels 🌎⁣⁠

One minute you think you're just having a harmless

One minute you think you're just having a harmless daydream of being in Greece, and the next you're there 😳😍⁣⁠
⁣⁠
Before this pandemic, I became aware of the way in which I manifested previous trips around the world. ⁣⁠
⁣⁠
- Setting the intention⁣⁠
- Visualizing⁣⁠
- Taking inspired action⁣⁠
⁣⁠
However now that things are not how they were a couple of months ago, I realize that I still find myself visualizing travel in order to manifest it, but also to just to feel good amongst the travel restrictions and the uncertainty that currently lies there. ⁣⁠
⁣⁠
The more I visualize travel; the feelings, the images, the emotions, the more I transfer myself to a state (no pun intended) of personal happiness, and a space where the pandemic effect has lessen, and everything is returning to a certain level of normalcy and safety. ⁣⁠
⁣⁠
As Dr. Joe Dispenza calls it, it's about being better than your environment. Right now more than ever. It's about maintaining focus on what you want, pandemic or not, regardless of what's happening or what's not happening. Regardless of doubts and fears, what others say and speculate. Keep visualizing, imagining, feeling into the things you want, and giving yourself permission to. ⁣⁠
⁣⁠
What are you daydreaming about? What are you visualizing? ⁣⁠
⁣⁠
For you, it may be travel again, or it can simply be a world where we can go to the grocery store without masks because it's safe to again ✌🏽⁣⁠
⁣⁠
This is something I came to the realization of recently, and I hope this is something that sparks that realization for you too. ⁣⁠
⁣⁠
Our minds have no limits- our beliefs and our emotions are more powerful than we often give them credit for. Use it for something beautiful 💐⁣⁠

This is going to be a big appreciation post toward

This is going to be a big appreciation post towards books because they're amazing. ⁣⁠
⁣⁠
Books and stories sharpen our imagination, vocabulary, and creativity. Books inspire us to believe in the "what if" and in the moments of possibility that are "too crazy" or out there. ⁣⁠
⁣⁠
Books teach, they help us feel connected, and they are there to fill in when we can't put to words what we feel or what we want to feel. ⁣⁠
⁣⁠
Books take us places, when we can't go ourselves. They instill feelings without personally experiencing a situation. ⁣⁠
⁣⁠
Books allow us to digest a substantial amount of information, someone's life story, a lifetime of lessons, ideas, realizations, in a relatively short amount of time. ⁣⁠
⁣⁠
Books are freedom- they are flowers, and the moon. ⁣⁠
⁣⁠
What book are you currently reading? 📚⁣⁠
⁣⁠
I wrote a post on the blog with 10 books under $10 that are ready to take you on a journey to the world, yourself, and others. The link is in my bio ✨

And even travel is not possible right now, this ha

And even travel is not possible right now, this has been a time to reflect on my travels, and find what about my travels I loved, and find a way to implement that in my day- to- day. ⁣⁣⁠
⁣⁣⁠
And the time is now. ⁣⁣⁠
⁣⁣⁠
Lately I've really tried tapping into my creativity in a variety of ways, and one of those is in finding curiosity and adventure in almost everything I do. 𝘈𝘭𝘮𝘰𝘴𝘵. ⁣⁣⁠
⁣⁣⁠
I find curiosity through food and the books I read. I find adventure in language learning, creating graphics like this one, and exploring new ways to be of service to people online. ⁣⁣⁠
⁣⁣⁠
It's finding those 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘭 elements and discovering ways to inject them into the every day, and allowing ourselves to believe in them. ⁣⁣⁠
⁣⁣⁠
Try it, and let me know how it works for you ☺️⁣⁣⁠
⁣⁣⁠
If you're interested in how to do this yourself, and in a much 𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 and 𝐥𝐢𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 perspective to adapt during this time, make sure to check out my latest post on the blog called 𝗪𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐐𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐞. Link is in my bio! ⁣⁣⁠

⁠ So, here's something I've really come to learn

⁠
So, here's something I've really come to learn since the start of the pandemic: How to be more present.⁣⁣⁠
⁣⁣⁠
I've always heard of people in the self-development world talk about the importance of being in the moment, but for some reason, I just didn't know how to. My mind has always been busy looking far out into the future, without really appreciating what was happening in the present moment. Can you relate? ⁣⁣⁠
⁣⁣⁠
Things have dramatically changed as we all know from night to day, and with that, the experience of being present has been delivered to many of us who are ready to meet it. ⁣⁣⁠
⁣⁣⁠
In terms of the state of the world, all I know is that nothing really exists other than now. The days have blended, we forget what we did yesterday, we don't know what day we are currently living, and we don't know what tomorrow is going to bring. Time is an illusion. All we really know to be certain is this moment right now. That's truly what we are being forced to focus on and live in right now. ⁣⁣⁠
⁣⁠
And that in itself kind of gives me peace amidst so much uncertainty. Remaining in what truly exists, which is what is happening in this moment in time. Taking it piece by piece. Things change quickly, but we don't have to worry about that now. ⁣⁠
⁣⁠
Meditation and journaling have TRULY helped me release anxiety and stress over the uncertainty and helped in arriving at this conclusion. So I really recommend that. It's not easy to shut off the thoughts and "what-ifs" - but it's possible to pivot your perspective to see the situation from a different angle. One that serves you and your sanity better clarity amongst the grey cloud of uncertainty. ⁣⁠
⁣⁣⁠
So that's what I am going to do because that's honestly all that exists and all that matters anyway, right now. ⁣⁣⁠
⁣⁣⁠
What's something you've learned during this pause? ⁣⁣⁠
⁣⁠
**𝘗𝘪𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘯 𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘴𝘶𝘮𝘮𝘦𝘳 𝘪𝘯 𝘐𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘥. ⁠
