Tucson is a hiker’s paradise, I’ve said it time and time again. Whenever someone asks me what there is to do in Tucson I always say the same three things: eating, hiking, and exploring the beautiful University of Arizona campus! One of my favorite hikes in Tucson is definitely Tanque Verde Falls. It’s a great workout, the views are beautiful, and it’s not overly crowded. Check out 8 of my favorite photos to inspire you to hike Tanque Verde Falls in Tucson!
Ayer fui a ver la nueva película “Ya Veremos”…y me encanto! “Ya Veremos” narra la historia de Santi (Emiliano Aramayo) un niño soñador quien ha tenido que lidiar con la separación de sus padres, Rodrigo (Mauricio Ochmann) y Alejandra (Fernanda Castillo). Para ellos, Santi es la luz de sus ojos, y están obligados a verse de vez en cuando, ya que comparten el tiempo de su hijo. Un día reciben la noticia de que Santi debe someterse a una cirugía la cual puede cambiarle la vida por completo. Así que éste hace una lista de deseos (un bucket list) para cumplirlos junto con sus dos padres, antes de la operación. Es así, que Rodrigo y Alejandra se verán forzados a aprender a convivir de nuevo, embarcandose (sin sospecharlo) en un viaje lleno de aventuras, que al final, hará que sea muy difícil separarse de nuevo y verán el panorama de una manera diferente.
Tuve la oportunidad de entrevistar a Mauricio Ochmann y a Fernanda Castillo y platicamos de todo incluyendo bucket lists, sus momentos favoritos de la película, y hasta de cuanto se odian!
Yesterday, I saw the new movie “Ya Veremos”…and I loved it! “Ya Veremos” is a Spanish film (with English subtitles!) that tells the story of Santi (Emiliano Aramayo) a boy who has had to deal with the divorce of his parents, Rodrigo (Mauricio Ochmann) and Alejandra (Fernanda Castillo). For them, Santi is the light of their life and they are forced to see each other once in a while due to shared custody. One day, they receive the news that Santi must undergo a surgery that could change his entire life. Which is why Santi decides to write up a wish list (kind of like a bucket list) and he gets his parents involved before he has to get the surgery done. Rodrigo and Alejandra are forced to learn how to spend time together, going on the adventure of a life time that will show how difficult it is to be apart and will change their out look on life.
I had the opportunity to interview Mauricio Ochmann and Fernanda Castillo and we chatted about many things including bucket lists, their favorite movie moments and I even got them to dish to me about how much they hate each other!
Three years ago, on this very day, I decided to take the plunge and start Enthusiastic About Life. We are three years old y’all, officially toddlers! So much has happened since then, but the best part about being on this blogging journey has definitely been all of the incredible people I’ve met. Everything that I do in my life, whether it is volunteering, mentoring, working, blogging…all have one thing in common: community. Everywhere I go, I choose to surround myself with amazing people that make all of the time and effort completely worth it.
The first year of the blog, I had a very dramatic photoshoot with champagne (check it out here!), the second year I took a moment to reflect on my own, and this year I’ve decided to publicly share my reasons for starting this blog and to also highlight my blogger friends. These blogger friends are the ones who I turn to whenever I feel down, whenever I feel excited, or whenever I feel any sort of way in between.
Thank you ladies for being on this journey with me!

I am Enthusiastic about many things, and sometimes when people ask me for a favorite restaurant, favorite city, or favorite bucket list item, it’s hard for me to narrow it down. However, when people ask me what my favorite mountain to hike in Arizona is, I never hesitate. The answer is of course North Mountain! I love this mountain because it’s never too crowded, there are easy AND difficult trails, and the views are incredible. Check out my favorite photos to inspire you to hike North Mountain! Enjoy!

In my 26 years of life, I’ve learned that sometimes the best things in life come from the most surprising of places. Last year, when I was getting ready to take a trip to Vancouver, Canada I jokingly said to a friend that I would caption all of my travel photos with Drake lyrics, because he is a Canadian rapper. My friend laughed, and encouraged me to actually do it, so I did!
It was so much fun, not only listening to Drake on my flight to Canada but to be a little more creative in my captions so that you could all laugh and enjoy the experience with me.
This week, Drake dropped a new album and one of his lyrics low key made me mad because he kind of made a dig at travel bloggers with the lyrics ‘I know a girl that saves pictures from places she’s flown, To post later and make it look like she still on the go’. I just want to make it clear that Drake obviously doesn’t have a full time job AND a blog so excuse you Drake, get me some free tickets! 😉
Check out my Vancouver photos with Drake lyrics and let me know which is your fave!
