Adventures, Lifestyle

The idea of flow and movement always relates to some sort of natural magic.
It is the breaking of a stale ideas, position, mindset or energy.
Movement is fleeting energy in motion.

ROASTED PUMPKIN & FARRO SALAD WITH CARAMELIZED SHALLOT DRESSING

Lifestyle

There is nothing I enjoy more in a salad than roasted pumpkin. It adds heartiness sans meat, sweetness without going overboard, and a caramelized quality that makes me feel at home. Whether you are craving a heartier, more comforting salad for fall or dreaming of the crisp brightness of spring, this salad meets you exactly where you are at.

NAKED CONVERSATIONS: MEET JESSIE MCCALL, ARTIST & PHOTOGRAPHER

Spotlights

Meet Jessie McCall, a photographer and artist I met while we both were living in Australia. We became fast friends, as we both were creative types originally from California and found ourselves living on the other side of the globe. We spent many days exchanging ideas about love and life, and enjoyed many spontaneous adventures together. Her work, both above and below the water, is truly breathtaking and we knew we had to share with the estCA community.

#VANLIFE: MEET CHIARA & MARCO, TWO ITALIANS TRAVELING AUSTRALIA IN THEIR CONVERTED TROOPY

Travel, Adventures, Spotlights

When I first moved to Australia, I took a few months to drive around and explore the country. Along the way, I met so many amazing people - some who lived permanently in their vans - and some who utilize their little home on wheels for road trips and extended holidays. Regardless, all these people had one thing in common: a passion for adventure.

HAPPINESS CHEMICALS AND HOW TO HACK THEM

Lifestyle

Dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin and endorphins are the quartet responsible for our happiness. Many events can trigger these neurotransmitters, but rather than being in the passenger seat, there are ways we can intentionally cause them to flow.
