Happy #ThrowbackThursday to this magical moment in Kourion, Cyprus 🇨🇾 - embracing the power of our femininity ❤️ #BareFeetDNA #tbt 📷: @shootmytravel

Happy #BareFeetFriday! I can’t help but dance with everyone, even the guards in KL (I still don’t know how I convince people to do the silly things they do with me, but it always brings a smile to their faces) ❤️ Our #FF brings us back to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia for the Colours of Malaysia Festival 🇲🇾 watch the webisode on our Bare Feet YouTube Channel or on our Facebook page! Terima kasih to @tourmalaysiausa for making this episode possible!

Happy #InternationalMusicDay! Thank you to Taraf de Caliu of Clejani, Romania and to everyone else around the world who has shared their music with me - thank you for letting me experience fully your art, your culture, your heart, and your soul! ❤️ thank you, mulțumesc, gracias, شكرا, madloba, merci, tesekkur ederim, obrigado, ευχαριστώ, grazie, 고맙습니다 🙏

Have you ever been to Inch Beach on a windy day? Well, this is what you get. This is one of the most breathtaking places I have ever visited, a beach that emerges out of nowhere - waves crashing from the underwater cliffs making their dramatic drop, but the tide seems to go on forever. It’s a place that reminds me just how small and fragile we all are. 💚 This week was full of so many emotions, but this place will always make me feel energized, fired up, and so happy to be alive 💪 #BareFeetDNA

I fell in love with #Dingle about 5 years ago when I first visited the #wildatlanticway in Ireland. And during that first trip, I briefly met an incredible musician, Peter Staunton. Peter was playing in a little pub with his powerhouse duo group @scannalmusic, where everyone was dancing their butts off, including myself (you can see a snippet of that video on our YouTube channel). 3 years after that, my husband and I were back to Dingle, and Peter and I recognized each other from that little video on YouTube. Last year, I was back again (you can’t keep me away from #Ireland for too long), and of course, I was lucky enough to cross Peter’s path again. The number of friendships I have made through music and dance are countless, and what you see in the #BareFeetSeries is either me making lifelong friends right then and there or reconnecting with old friends to capture their magic on camera. Of course, Peter and his wife Niamh will be in this new #BareFeetDNA season - every time I see them, dancing is a given (this time with their new band @superceili)! And the entire episode is filled with reconnecting with so many beautiful friends! 💚🍀

I’ve been blessed with the luck of the Irish on this trip 🍀 we were able to capture this breathtaking #sunset while filming the #BareFeetDNA episode here in #Ireland. This was my third time visiting The Dingle Peninsula, and every time, I fall more and more in love with it. This is by far one of the most beautiful sunsets I have ever experienced IN MY LIFE, especially knowing that it’s not every day you get such good weather - rain was predicted for our entire time here, but now all we’re seeing is blue skies!

Wow! What a way to spend a day - literally surrounded by #BareFeetFans - such an honor to have been part of the @hofstrau’s Italian Experience where I was able to share the #dance that represents my family’s culture, the Tarantella Minturnese! 🇮🇹 Thank you to everyone who danced with us, who was kind enough to say hello and let us know how much the #BareFeetSeries means to you, and for all of you supporting this project! Grazie mille - without you, none of this would be possible! ❤️

Happy #motivationmonday! 💪 I absolutely LOVE getting up and speaking to people about my journey, I LOVE sharing as much as I can to help the next #entrepreneur figure out the kinks, and I most of all LOVE being as transparent as possible to share what really goes into making a #passionproject ❤️ Thank you to @tbexevents & @flxwinecountry for letting me lead a #publicity talk (standing room only! 🙌) and for sharing the keynote stage with @oneikatraveller & @flybrother for #myflxtbex. And big thank you to @loyaltytravels, @mybigfatmouth, @ronigram, & @travelingjules for capturing these moments!! 🙏❤️ #girlboss #payitforward

I was a 19-year-old sophomore at NYU on 9/11. The memories from that day are crystal clear, but I don’t remember too much the months following. I can’t explain it. I remember how beautiful the weather was that day. I remember walking from my job on 42nd St at Casual Corner, turning the corner on Lex and seeing a huge mass of black and grey smoke. It looked like from a movie, like Independence Day or something. It’s strange knowing that 19-year-old sophomores at NYU today were just little babes back then. We were just little babes back then too.

This is what being a New Yorker means to me – the diversity, the beauty in its multi-culturalism, the colorful and vibrant energy its music and dance holds! I’m honored to be part of this weekend’s “New York State of Mind” Marathon on @createtvchannel celebrating all of the things we love about this city. 🗽 Be sure to tune in or set your DVRs to catch some of your favorite #BareFeetNYC episodes, alongside @mikecolameco’s tour through the city’s restaurants, this Saturday and Sunday – check your local listings for time and channel! Bare Feet in NYC is a co-production with @madein_ny and is presented by @todaytix ❤️ #BareFeetSeries #ILoveNY

Happy #TravelTuesday! I need to pinch myself every once in a while to remind myself that this is reality - I get to sit on top of the world sometimes and feel so incredibly small, and that is one of the most amazing feelings in the world. But there is a lot of hustle and work and tears and fighting against one’s own fears and working through that little voice that tells you to just give up. That’s also reality. I’m so proud to join fellow travelers and friends @oneikatraveller & @flybrother as the closing keynote speakers for @tbexevents in the Finger Lakes, September 11-13. We’ll be sharing the truth behind what our journeys have been like - I always remind myself, “If it was easy, everyone would do it.” Join me at #myflxtbex and use code “spknainvite” for 20% registration! 📷: @lina_land #BareFeetSeries #tt #girlboss #barefeetdna

These are some of the beautiful souls I get to make magic with on this new #BareFeetDNA season, and I can’t tell you how happy I am that this moment was captured ❤️ I’m so lucky to surround myself with people who believe in me, believe in my work, and of course help me tell my story. We’re not just making a TV show, we’re having these unforgettable experiences that may or may not make the editing floor, but that doesn’t make them any less valuable. We aren’t just a crew, we are a family - we work together, we sweat together, we cry together, and most importantly, we laugh together. Thank you, @shootmytravel, for capturing this moment and being part of our crazy family. #BareFeetDNA

I have to make a confession - every time I dance and make music with strangers, I fall a little bit in love with them. I think it’s because my adrenaline is pumping so much, my endorphins are kicking in, and my heart is truly wide open. And it happens - this brief innamorata, falling in love with a soul that you can’t really communicate with except through the movements of your body and the sounds of the instruments. Needless to say, I was gobsmacked with that love when I met Taraf de Caliu, a țigan band (gypsy, as they call themselves) in the village of Clejani. And what you don’t see in front of us is the family that we immediately became a part of as soon as we arrived - truly a dream come true ❤️ #BareFeetDNA #ExperienceRomania 📷: @evancarters_party

Feeling quite at home here in Romania 🇷🇴 That’s the face of someone who just danced her butt off and absolutely LOVED it! The #BareFeetDNA journey continues in this incredibly beautiful Eastern European country - it is also considered culturally connected to The Balkans, so this mixture of cultures in the dances fits my body perfectly (and so does this wool/leather vest!). Multumesc to the Ansamblul Balada Humorului in Bocovina for letting me literally jump right in with them (they made me feel young again, mainly because all of them are half my age 😜 - see me doing the hora with them in our recent Facebook LIVE video). But the more I keep dancing on this #BareFeetDNA adventure, the more I realize why I feel so connected to all of these dances...because they are are in my blood, engrained in the DNA makeup of my body! ❤️ #ExperienceRomania 📷: @lina_land

Kinkhali, khachapuri, tarragon soup, fresh summer tomato & cucumber salad, freshly baked bread, and wine - this is one of the many reasons why I named Sakartvelo 🇬🇪 (aka Georgia) my top choice for solo female travel in @forbes “33 Best Tips & Trips For Solo Female Travel” - read it at bit.ly/ForbesSoloTravel. 🌏✈️Georgia is known for its warm hospitality, its beautiful polyphonic singing, and of course its wine (8,000 year-old tradition, to be exact). And with such a long history with wine, Georgians also have a long, beautiful tradition with giving toasts. Cheers to life, the music that makes us dance, and of course, to the people of this beautiful country - gaumarjos!🍷 #BareFeetDNA

Happy #NationalDanceDay! #Dance and music have always been a part of my life, and I’ve always found the most joy with people when sharing a conversation thru dance. So far, this #BareFeetDNA journey has been nothing short of miraculous - this opportunity to dance my way through my DNA map is eye-opening and inspiring! Thank you to Fran & Reyes of @shootmytravel for capturing this moment of #flamenco with the legendary Milagros Menjibar at @fundacionflamencoheeren 💃🏻 Happy dancing, everyone! ❤️

The #BareFeetDNA journey continues!! I’m in the French Basque Country celebrating Le Fetes De Bayonne, dancing down the streets with the puppets of Kilika, a group of volunteer artists who make these magical, mythical characters come alive! Stay tuned for this new season coming to your local public television station in the spring where I get to make these puppets dance!! 📷: @lina_land

I rarely show skin unless it’s part of the culture. Meeting with Sylvia Serena, pioneer in helping bring back the Oriental Dance to the very conservative country of Cyprus, was an eye-opening and liberating experience for me. This ancient dance celebrated women, their bodies, and their power to bring life into this world. I’ll be honest, I felt very vulnerable and somewhat naked when we started filming this segment, but as Sylvia showed me the movements and explained their beautiful origins that she understands (there are so many theories as to where and how Belly Dance and Oriental dance started), I began to feel more comfortable and confident. But one thing is true, this dance is a celebration of us, women, and of course the celebration of life through circles, channeling the energy from Mother Earth to our own bodies.
