About

Aloha: a Hawaiian word meaning compassion, peace and mercy. Also to signify "hello" and "goodbye." 

Aloha and namaste. Buen Camino and shalom. My name is Mikaela, and I have surrendered myself to the mystery abundant in our world (as best I can) and am traveling to take it all in. 


This next year is my time to walk with aloha. With the motivation to shed some of the stress and go-go-go mentality that has been ubiquitous with my daily life over the last 6 years, I am beginning a physical and mental journey. There will be many lessons and laughs along the way, I am sure, and all to gain that "something." As I live through the evolutions of figuring out what that "something" is, it will be posted here. I am realistic that no journey is easy, or without strife, but the ultimate goal is to simply be, rather then wait to become. 

My travels began in Hawaii in September 2013, and have taken me to Spain, Portugal, Italy, Nepal and now Chile. Along my way, I am reorienting myself, reinventing for the sake of possibility. Already I feel indelibly changed, but in the same vein, so much more myself. Plans change, ideas evolve, and I will endeavor to maintain that patient kindness to greet it all. I will try to walk with aloha every step of the way.
