Crossfit in Charlotte, NC | My Journey to YYLC

While I was touristing around in Charlotte, I got to stop by two CrossFit gyms. 

The first one I stopped by was one called CrossFit Eternal.

I'm so glad I stopped by this box. I didn't know what to expect, but upon arrival, I could tell I was gonna have a good workout, and meet cool people, which I did. 

Here are some photos and a short video of our WOD <3 I definitely plan on coming back to this box when I stop by Charlotte again.

The next day I stopped by another awesome box called Metro CrossFit in the afternoon. 

The facility was so nice and our WOD KILLED ME. lol. 

I also will definitely drop by this box again! They were so friendly and great to workout with.

If you haven't tried CrossFit, you definitely should. And don't listen to all the naysaying out there!
 It is a great method of getting fit and staying fit! And you workout according to your fitness level, so get out to a crossfit box and try it asap!
I train out of Chamorri CrossFit in Pick-A-Nail road in Tamuning!
If you're ever interested, let me know, and we can arrange to a date and time for you to try out a session.

TO BE CONTINUED :D

Sirena of Guam in Charlotte! | Journey to YYLC 2016

July 11, 2016
For those who don't live in Guam, ya gotta know that travelling from Guam to the East Coast is truly an adventure in and of itself.

I've been travelling literally for a whole day just to get here- Charlotte, North Carolina. 

You're probably wondering what a little Guam mermaid such as myself is doing all the way out in the East Coast. 

Well, I am travelling all the way out here to attend the Yager Youth Leadership Conference!

YYLC is a weeklong event where young adults go to learn from leaders in the industry that I am in. 

I am so stoked for it!

So far, I've already made amazing friends here:
Wonderful, talented women, Michelle and Christian!
Michelle is a photographer here in Charlotte, and Christian is a singer and actress!
I am so blessed to have met them here!
God has really shown me that if I trust in Him, things will come together!
(more to come on Michelle and Christian in next post!)

Update as of July 19, 2016 
I wasn't able to complete this post when I was writing it! But that's okay!
Here is the rest of my journey in a nutshell.
I got to eat drink my favourite kind of drink- Match Green Tea Latte at a fantastic place called
Not Just Coffee which is located in the 7th Street Public Market the uptown part of Charlotte.

I found it amazing that not only was there a fantastic coffee shop, there were also several food shops/restaurants within this studio area (I suppose you could call it that- a wide room space).

There was a pizza and sandwich booth which had a vegan sandwich that was to die for (picture below), an acai bowl booth, a crepe stand, and even a little farmer's market.
I was fascinated by this one small space within Charlotte!

Lastly, there was a booth called  VIVA RAW- a local juice brand.
I think there was lot of "law of attraction" things going on.
Not that I believe in that kind of stuff in a way that subtracts God from the equation, but simply, God telling me "Hey- remember this idea you had? Yeah- it's being done here. And I believe you can actually do it for yourself."
I got to speak to the actual founder and owner of the brand. He was manning the counter that particular day I was there, which was awesome. Scott is a great fellow, and simply wants to spread the goodness of drinking juiced fruits and vegetables.
Read his story here.

Loved this one. : )

Bought a lovely tote and a shirt. <3
