About Gwen

Welcome to Moments with Gwen – where calm meets adventure.

Hi, I’m Gwen — ocean lover, peaceful traveler, and believer in finding joy in the little things.

This blog is a place where my two favorite worlds come together:
✨ The magic of travel — from the sandy shores of Florida to the fun and wonder of Disney
💜 And the power of mindfulness — with gentle breathing, thoughtful reflections, and peaceful moments, especially for caregivers and busy hearts

Whether I’m walking along a beach, visiting a sea turtle rescue center, or soaking in the colors of Epcot’s Flower & Garden Festival, I’m always looking for ways to capture and share beauty, calm, and connection.

🌴 A few things you’ll find here:

  • Peaceful travel inspiration and videos from places like Disney, Juno Beach, and mountain escapes

  • Mindfulness tools to help you breathe, reflect, and recharge

  • Handpicked products and original designs from my Zazzle store, created to add beauty to your space and peace to your day

I also run two YouTube channels:
🎥 Travel Moments with Gwen — for relaxing travel videos and magical moments
🧘‍♀️ Mindfulness Moments with Gwen — for meditations, affirmations, and calm guidance

Whether you're here to plan a trip, take a breath, or just enjoy the view, I hope this space helps you feel more grounded and inspired.

Thanks for stopping by. You’re always welcome here. 🌊💫

— Gwen

Are you a nature lover? Do you enjoy biking? If so, then the Shark Valley 15-mile loop in the Florida Everglades National Park is the perfect place to visit! This unique paved biking trail, offers a scenic adventure through the beautiful and diverse Everglades amongst the wildlife that call the Everglades home. The trail is relatively flat and easy to navigate, making it an ideal experience for bikers of all skill levels.  Just remember that the wind will be blowing in the opposite direction after you leave the observation tower. However, it is important to remember to stay alert and keep a safe distance from the wildlife. You will see alligators all along the trail and some beautiful waterbirds.  It really is a great place for nature lovers to visit.
