As my time on the islands comes to an end I thought I'd reflect on all the lessons this journey has taught me.
A planner seeks mental health
Hello, my name is Leslie Ortiz and I am a planner. I plan everything - my outfits, my meals, my day, my tasks, my hobbies, my downtime and my career. If I could plan more things I would. So maybe you can understand that moving has disrupted my "plans".
In times of transition remember to be grateful
Last week I quit my job. I knew this day would come. As excited as I am for my next move I found it extremely hard to inform the team I have been working with so diligently for the past year that I am moving on.

Living in Hawaii
There is an abundance of outdoor goodness in Hawaii. I currently live on the island of Oahu, known for the city of Honolulu, the tourist attraction called Waikiki and the epic surf waves of the North Shore. On this island you can experience the chaotic event that is Honolulu traffic and 30 minutes later you can be at the most serene removed shore. As a lover of all things health, nature, exercise and beach related I have thrived here in Hawaii. I have learned what makes me feel good, challenged and healthy on this tiny island. I’ll be sharing it all with you.
