Good for you, Jacob! That's amazing! Hope you're having the most wonderful time! Hawaii is definitely one of my top dream trips! That or driving around the US in a van for a few months or a year!
I'm with you Vanessa. A road trip across the US has always been a dream of mine.
Get the Aerosmith pumping and I'll see you soon. 🙂
Let's make sure NYC is on your list of cities to swing thru! 🙂
Las Vegas, to see Penn & Teller, Love and the Blue Man Group.
I won't ask what happened. 🙂
I just can't believe how great that camera work is!
And I just can't believe it's not butter.
To volunteer in every Central American country starting in Mexico and ending in Panama, spending at least a month in each country. I shiver just thinking about it.
Ooooooooooooooooooh yes!
Jacob,
You look absolutely radiant! Hawaii does you good for sure.
My dream trip really has been Brazil. I've gotten to know myself and had so many amazing epiphanies (a big one was thanks to you and our phone call!) and I feel so much more sure about myself and what I want in my life. But it's not over yet, I'm landing back in the U.S. of A. at the beginning of May and I've been toying with the idea of backpacking around Europe for a few weeks. I've never been to Europe (truth be told, I had to get a passport for the first time to come to Brazil!) and I really feel inspired by seeing things that are really old. You just don't get to see that kinda stuff in the U.S. and I think it would really help me connect even deeper with myself. Maybe I'm an old soul? Who knows.
What do you think? Hawaii I'm sure would be awesome too!
How long did you spend in Brazil if I may ask?
Of course! I have been here now for about 5 months. The original reason I came here fell through but I've stayed a bit longer anyway. I realize this isn't so practical for most people, but to be honest I think 2 months would have been long enough to have the space and time to grow and have a good look inward. During my first 2 months I filled up one and a half journals as I traveled around and reflected on my outward and inward experiences.
Sounds great! Love Europe. So much to explore!
And it's been over a decade since I was in Brazil… looking fwd to around round soon!
I want to go on around my country, India, on a bike
Ruff ryders!!!!
Hey Jacob!
I love your set-up- looks amazing! I can imagine that breeze coming through the open doors and windows! Hawaii is on the list, but we may tackle that for our honeymoon next year 🙂
My ultimate would be India. When I was around 10 we had a calendar hanging in the kitchen that had famous sites around the world. One night while he was cooking dinner, I pointed to the picture of the Taj Mahal and told my dad that I would send him a postcard from there one day. I have always been fascinated by the culture (I'm actually eating leftover Indian with naan now!). I want the full experience- henna with old ladies chatting, sitting cross-legged in a headscarf eating with my hands, lots of yoga, studying Ayurveda, buying oils and spices, etc.
I am constantly seeking deeper meaning and experience. Being in New York for 8 years has really taken its toll. I seek simplicity and greater connection. I seek community and balance.
I love reading your newsletters because your approach is so authentically you. And I need to get out of my own way in creating the life of my dreams.
Thank you for the kicks in the butt… I hope/want the breakthrough (is there such a thing?) to be right around the corner.

P.S. In 17 days (not that I am looking forward to it or anything) my fiancee and I will be going to Italy for 10 days. He has never been. I studied abroad there for 5 months back in '07. I know it is going to be like "going home" for me and I expect it to be quite emotional. I would love for my fiancee is able to have a similar experience to what you describe in the vid.
Top of the list: exploring Patagonia, Bruce Chatwin style. Second: Portugal.
Where are you in HI? If you have a chance to go to Maui, check out Emerald City Trapeze Arts in Lahaina! I helped open the school in December, though I'm back in Seattle now. I'm certain you need to experience flying trapeze if you haven't already. 🙂
Hey Jacob!
WOW! Hawaii looks breathtaking! It's been awhile since I've stopped by here (which I'm sad about 🙁 )…doing the working grind, taking care of my babies, & doing some spiritual growth for myself.
Hmmm…there are so many places I'd LOVE to go to & experience – India, Europe, Amsterdam, Hawaii, Egypt (when things cool down there), Japan, Fiji, Jamaica, Bali…the list could go on & on (lol). But if I were to narrow it down, there would be 3 places I would say are my dream travel locations – Hawaii, the Virgin Islands, & Jamaica. Notice a similarity between the 3? I am definitely a tropical loving girl (lol). When I was in 8th grade we were assigned a project to choose a place in the world to research & give a presentation about, and my place was St. Thomas. I instantly fell in LOVE with it, and the moment I started researching it I told my mother "This is where I'm going to go & live!" And I still have that pull in my heart to make that place my home…or maybe even have a second home there 😉 (lol)
Thanks for this post, Jacob! You reminded me of my passion & desire to make it to all these places! =)
XOXO!
Sooo many places on my bucket list!!! My biggest dream is to travel around Australia, continue the journey to New Zealand and finish in Fiji, where I visit a Tony Robbins event 😉
*EXCITING* Yesss!
Hey Jacob,
I thank you for your Energy and Spirit. It over Excites me as a young Adult!!!
China is My Dreammmmm!!!! I heard, "Bring some form of tissue because in some areas the don't supply in public rest rooms." What if you don't know where your going? You would be in trouble if you had use the rest room. Lol!!!!!
