Stories told and unfold for International Women’s Day
French Polynesian Adventures

March 2, 2021

Celebrating women is what STELLARGIRL is all about. March is International Women’s History Month and March 8th being International Women’s Day, I want to share some inspiring stories of women I have met throughout my travels.

My wanderlust has taken me to over 40 countries and what has always brought me so much joy is meeting, learning and laughing with the women from the places I’ve travelled. I spent 2 weeks in Ukraine as a folkorique dancer, I’ve toured throughout Europe, Iceland, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Morocco, Thailand, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Japan, Singapore and Hong Kong, to name some highlightsand what I found is that women have more in common than not. What starts many of our conversations? Well….it is usually centered around fashion and style. Either I will seek out independent clothing or jewelry boutiques, local designers are my favorite or shop and walk the local markets and be enchanted by their energy and love of fashion. Also, walking around (that’s the best way to see a new city) will entice a conversation and I will compliment a women on her outfit or vice versa and voila instant connection!

One story in particular, in Japan, the “Coming of Age Day” is a Japanese holiday and held annually on the 2nd Monday of January. It is when a woman reaches 20 years of age (between April of the previous year to April 1 of the current year). They dress in the most spectacular furisode’s (kimono) and zori sandals. I was in Toyko that week and at the Asakusa Shrine and the Sensoji Temple, the women were magical. They shared their stories with me, they wanted to take photos, they love their culture with intense passion and they have tremendous hope for their futures. A week I will never forget.

The women in Thailand and Vietnam are a mix of vulnerability and strength and are incredibly sweet. They shared stories of their family traditions, food, flowers and love of life. The local women would also want to hear where I am from and want to learn about Canada (btw I am Canadian and moved to the US in 2005)…. but it is listening and learning from women all over the world that all have hope for the future and all love sharing their cultures and traditions. Women forever inspire me and that is stellar!

Take a Microvacation
Sometimes a few days might be all you have, and all you need!

November 10, 2020
Dear Stellargirls,
Totally take a microvacation. You will be surprised how much you can do with 48-72 hours. Many of us can’t take off work or get away without the kids for a longer period of time, but with a mini-vaca, you can rejuvenate and escape! Choose your next one as soon as you get home so you have something to look forward to in the upcoming weeks or months.
Rent a lake house on Air B&B, take a flight to see your favorite band play, or drive a few hours to watch your favorite sports team play. Stellargirls make memories so don’t forget to print your favorite photo and put it in a frame. It will remind you to make plans for you next blissful adventure!
I recently went to Bermuda for 60 hours. One day was sunshine, exploring, and walking miles of spectacular pink sand beaches and one day was renting a scooter to see the entire island! I even swam in the secluded hidden gem inside the Cathedral Crystal Caves.
The Bermudian residents were incredibly charming and the farm to table cuisine is beyond amazing!
Love,

Dear Stellargirls
Travel is a big part of my life and through Stellargirl we all have the opportunity to share those experiences with each other as we explore new cities and countries! I believe travel is truly a great unifier; an act that allows us to take on new views and perspectives. I want to see the cultural meccas in the world’s greatest cities, view local styles and fashions, jump into a waterfall in the middle of the rainforest in Australia, dive the Great Barrier Reef, take a sand buggy into the rolling hills in the hot desert in Dubai, and stroll through the markets in Marrakech in search of a rare, silken fabric.

Dear Stellargirls,

Travel is a big part of my life and through Stellargirl we all have the opportunity to share those experiences with each other as we explore new cities and countries! I believe travel is truly a great unifier; an act that allows us to take on new views and perspectives. I want to see the cultural meccas in the world’s greatest cities, view local styles and fashions, jump into a waterfall in the middle of the rainforest in Australia, dive the Great Barrier Reef, take a sand buggy into the rolling hills in the hot desert in Dubai, and stroll through the markets in Marrakech in search of a rare, silken fabric.

These grand moments are the stories that we’ll never forget, but all the little memories are just as meaningful as a part of our travels. I’ve been terrified in a leaking boat as we traversed the packed waterways of Thailand in search of the perfect wooden bowls and the authentic kimono that was given to me in Hong Kong are enviable pieces from my travels that influence my style and fill my closet and home. I’ll forever remember skiing the slopes in Whistler, BC with my family, walking the beaches in Mallorca Spain, the black sand in Tenerife, strolling the endless cobblestone streets in Paris, walking the Red Light district in Amsterdam, exploring the dozens of  hidden beaches Ibiza, climbing the steps in Gaudí’s Surrealist Park in Barcelona, wandering into a pub in Dublin and hearing the best Bon Jovi cover band ever, gingerly climbing on the back of a rickshaw in the scooter littered streets of Vietnam, or wrapping my body, head and face and being totally awe inspired by the mosques in Abu Dhabi. Simply ALL incredible! ALL forever ingrained in my mind! And ALL blessed in my heart!

Love,

Teri
