Welcome to the Epitome of Living website! I’m Tanya and I created this site aiming to help those who want to maximize their limited vacation time with an epic trip! Let’s face it, many of us have jobs to sustain our lifestyle but have limited vacation time. The average American has merely 2-3 weeks of paid-time-off a year!! This doesn’t mean you can’t make the most of it and use that time to see the world. If you want to create the most epic trip in a limited timeframe, then you’re in the right place.

Over the years, I have used my 7-10 days off to travel abroad and have become an expert at seeking out adventures and getting the most out of every destination in a very short time. So far, I have been to over 30 countries and counting! On this site, I am going to be providing you with tons of resources from tips on traveling solo, packing, where to find unique adventures, how to make the most out of your destination, to providing you with my own 7-10 day itineraries so you can replicate it.

What is the epitome of living? It’s the perfect depiction of living life. This means seizing opportunities that come up and saying yes instead of looking for excuses to say no. It’s booking that trip even if it means traveling alone instead of delaying it until friends can join. It’s running with the bulls instead of watching it on the sidelines. It’s living in the moment instead of watching others live life. Instead of wondering “what if…”, you take a chance and put yourself out there, because only then will the outcome have limitless possibilities. People often wait to travel or take chances because they are waiting for this arbitrary “perfect moment” that may never come.  Some of the scariest moments in life is taking a chance and not being able to predict the outcome but these are often the most rewarding.

Stop making excuses and let me inspire your next trip!
