Celebrating my 30th birthday with all my favorite people 🎉🎆🇺🇸🥳✨🎇♥️✨🎂🤍🎉💙🎁🫶🏻

@the.life.of.linny absolutely crushed it designing our boho themed party 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 10/10 recommend hiring her for your next event if you need a design fairy to work some magic for you 😉✨🧚🏻‍♀️✨

Okay now it's time for me to have a ✨moment✨ (gonna get a lil emotional here y'all so bear with me 🥲🥹😍🥰)

...

Leading up to the event, I was reflecting on this past decade from 20 to 30 and the upcoming one, and couldn't help but feel overcome by gratitude for all of the incredible humans that I have in my life. ❤️‍🔥

I couldn't think of better people to be surrounded with starting into this new chapter of my life, and consider myself truly lucky to have such deep, lasting friendships with people who inspire me, challenge me, lift me up and motivate me to dream bigger and go after even more in life.

I am so so grateful for each and every one of you amazing humans. Y'all make my life worth living. It meant the world to me to have my people come out and celebrate, dance under the stars, feel free, listen to good music, vibe out and soak in the hot tub together 😝🌌🌅✨💞💙💜💚🥰♥️

Thank you all so much for being a part of my life. I am a better person from knowing y'all and I am so thankful that I get the chance do life with you guys. I LOVE Y'ALL!! @what.b.sees @the.life.of.linny @i.am.elina_ @dasulin @daniel_z_dds @shaynarenee_ @chrissymutolo @seandoesnthaveIGlol 🥹🥹🥹😍😍😍😍😍🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼✨✨✨✨

Now here's to an even more EPIC next decade - filled with adventures, bold pursuits, mistakes that we (hopefully) learn from, and as many deep belly laughs as we can squeeze in there. LFGGGG!!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳💃🏼💃🏻🕺🏼🕺🏼🕺🏾🕺🏻💃🏼💃🏻💃🏻💃🏽💃🏽🕺🤸🏼‍♀️🤸🏼‍♀️🤸🏼‍♂️🤸🏻‍♂️🤸🏽‍♀️🤸🏻‍♀️🤸🏻‍♂️🤸‍♂️🥳🥳🥳🥳✨✨✨✨🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 taken in Dripping Springs, Texas by @ellaarayne

Cappadocia 🇹🇷

1.12.24

This trip was inspired by @benbohmermusic - my brother and I discovered his Cercle set a few years before we took this trip and had it on repeat ever since. 🎶

If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend checking it out. It's set in Cappadocia, Turkey, and Ben plays an ethereal set rich with emotion as the sun rises over the mountain tops. 🌄🎼🎹🌅

Before this picture was ever taken, earlier in that same year, Judah & I had booked a hot air balloon flight in Utah for our trip to Zion National Park.

Unfortunately, the night right before our flight was meant to take off, the owner of the hot air balloon company sent us a text to let us know that the air pressure was too low, so we wouldn't be able to fly tomorrow morning.

We were disappointed. But, we chose to keep a positive mental attitude. I remember Judah shrugging it off, saying "ah well, it didn't work out. but all good fam. we'll probably just go hot air ballooning in Turkey or something." -- as if it was just an afterthought.

Little did we know... he was right. And it would be only 8 months later that we boarded the basket on that chilly winters night before dawn to take off to the skies and experience a once in a lifetime opportunity that took our breath away - in the same place Ben played his set all those years before.

The beauty of the natural landscape made for an unforgettable experience. But to add to those immaculate vibes, our Pilot, whose name was Hakan, was cracking jokes left and right. He was hilarious, entertaining and used storytelling to educate us about the history of the city. This led us to hiring him as our tour guide for the rest of the day. Hakan took us all around the town and showed us underground cities, Turkish rug shops, camel rides in the snow, and more. 🇹🇷☕️🐫📜🕌

I experienced acts of kindness from strangers in this city in ways that moved me to my core. Cappadocia was a magical place, and Turkey was my favorite country I have visited so far. Shoutout to my big brother for saving us, because we almost didn't make it there... will share more in my next post 😉

Didn’t expect Mexico City to hit like this. 🇲🇽

Everyone talks about Tulum...
I'd say CDMX is the real move 😜🔥💯

Best tacos I’ve had in years. 🌮
Energy was unreal.
If you’re thinking about going… don't hesitate 😉

Went for a bad b*tch's birthday.
Left planning my next trip 😝

Mexico City might be the most underrated city in the world. Agree, or no?

Lmk your thoughts in the comments!

“Many people die with their music still in them. Too often it is because they are always getting ready to live. Before they know it time runs out.” - Oliver Wendall Holmes

I used to post consistently on Instagram. And then one day I just… stopped.

It took me a long time to understand why.

Sometimes you don’t realize the relationship you’re in is oppressive until you’re out of it.

I look back now at these pictures that feel like the distant past and ask myself, “how could I have given so much of my power away?”.

I let him take over my world. He didn’t like the attention I got from posting pictures online. I didn’t want him to feel bad. So, I stopped posting them. My creative expression made him uncomfortable. And instead of listening to my intuition and leaving, I chose to stay. For 3 years too long.

They say that creative life force energy lies in our sacral chakra, which is coincidentally the same chakra that represents our sexuality, sensuality and passion.

When this chakra is blocked, it can be hard to create. Or, maybe you can still create, but the blockage prevents you from sharing your creations with the world.

Life is too short to stop ourselves from creating, or to play small just to make other people feel comfortable

It took me finally leaving that relationship and also getting sober to wake up and realize I wasn’t living in alignment with my purpose, and that I needed to make some big changes.

Slowly over the past year I’ve started to transform again and begin to create more and more. I’ve decided that I won’t die with my music inside of me. Creating is important to me, and I want to share my creations and passions with all of y’all - the people I know and love, who make my life special. Thanks for being a part of my journey so far. So grateful 🧡

Excited to share more on my new photography page @ellaavisions - follow if you haven’t already! Would love to hear your thoughts on what I’ve shared so far. Looking forward to posting consistently on that page.

Here’s to creating more in 2026, let’s get it!!

I experienced a profound sense of wonder and connection to nature in the Antelope Slot Canyons in Arizona. This place was rich with history and energy, and I could feel it all around me. Both a vast emptiness and a deep connectedness existed as one.

The cool shadows felt like smoke gently brushing along my skin as I paced across the soft canyon floor. Slipping in and out of corridors scattered with speckled light - brief moments of warmth followed by a plunge back into darkness, the echoes of unfamiliar voices bouncing off of still walls as I continued on.

I could feel the rough, grainy texture of the rock - cool to the touch - as I let my fingertips run alongside the walls. The pathway narrowed before opening up to a large, cave-like area where more light was pouring in: the place where this picture was taken.

High walls stretching up above me for what felt like forever made me feel so small.

A moment in time.

Sometimes, peace and presence already exist in the places you visit, and there's nothing you have to do to cultivate them on your own before arriving. You just show up, and receive.

Antelope Canyon X was one of those places for me.

It's been 2.5 years since this photo was taken, and so much has changed since then. This year, I plan to catch up on posting the travel content I haven't shared from the past few years so that I'll have these memories to look back on as my digital diary and can share them when connecting with others.

You may see older posts from me for a while as I catch up. If it bothers you that these posts are old, just mute my posts/stories and you won't have to see them anymore ;)

If you made it this far, you're a legend. Thanks for reading and following along on the journey.

Here’s to 2026 being our best year yet 🙏🏻✨🍃🕊️💞🩵

Traveling the world with you for the past few years has been nothing short of unreal. @ellaarayne

No matter where you are, whether it’s a quarter mile away or halfway across the world, you’ll always be with me, and I’ll always love you.

Here’s to more sends, more love, and more life in 2024.

There’s no one else I’d rather welcome another year with, halfway across the globe, on the Island of the Gods.
