Girl We Love: Ale Pertierra
Through Ale’s adventures, let's learn how to keep the balance and enjoy the fresh air and sunshine while keeping an active lifestyle.🌻
TELL US A FUN FACT ABOUT YOURSELF?
I’m currently a first-year medical student at ASMPH and also an indoor cycling instructor at Perigon.
WHAT ARE SOME ACTIVITIES YOU LIKE TO DO? WHAT KEEPS YOU BUSY WHEN YOU’RE NOT EXPLORING?
I try to live an active lifestyle so exercising has definitely been part of my weekly, if not daily schedule. I try to make it a point to exercise 4-5 times a week. It could be anything from indoor cycling, running, or weight training!
WHAT DO YOU LOVE MOST ABOUT TRAVELING? WHERE IS YOUR HAPPY PLACE?
What I love most about traveling is getting acquainted and exploring places that are unfamiliar to me. My happy place would be anywhere it’s sunny so I think the beach would definitely be my happy place!
ANY ADVICE ON HOW TO EMBRACE SLOW TRAVEL AND HAVE MORE MINDFUL ADVENTURES?
WHAT ARE SOME WAYS TO HELP US BECOME MORE CONSCIOUS TRAVELERS?
I always see traveling as a time of rest and relaxation. As tempting as it is to look for something adventurous to do 24/7, it’s important to leave yourself some time to sit down and just enjoy the place you are in!
Of course, it’s also important to remember that when you go someplace new, you leave that place in the exact same condition it was in as when you arrived. I make sure to clean up after myself wherever I go and never leave any trash/unwanted things lying around. We’re all visitors to the places we travel to and it’s only right we respect the environment that surrounds us!
WHERE WOULD YOU RECOMMEND A QUICK GETAWAY THIS YEAR?
ANY SUGGESTIONS FOR A CLASSIC ROAD TRIP OR AN UNUSUAL (BUT NO LESS INSPIRING) PATH LESS TRAVELED?
I would definitely recommend taking a trip to the beach with your family and loved ones! It’s a great opportunity to get away from the city and enjoy the fresh air and sun.
ANY ADVICE FOR FREE-SPIRITED WANDERERS WHO ARE STILL A BIT HESITANT TO GET BACK TO TRAVELING?
If you’re still worried about traveling during this time it’s totally normal! Take things at your own pace and when you do decide to travel, make sure that you follow all the safety protocols and measures before and during your travel!
WE’RE ALWAYS HAPPY TO HAVE YOU AT WINK! HOW DOES WINK HELP YOU WITH YOUR TRAVELS?
