In my valued opinion,I strongly believe and encourage you to go chase some waterfalls! Hike number ✌🏼 and first solo hike! Come join me next time! I’m slow AF and take a lot of selfies 📸 😊 . . . Where is the most epic, jaw-dropping, holy shit waterfall you’ve ever seen?
The world changes when we change our perspective 💭 . . . I always forget how beautiful my own backyard is and I’m so excited to discover more of it this upcoming year before jet setting ✈️ somewhere new! First hike of 2019 ✔️ Feeling refreshed (and slightly sore) to conquer the week ahead 👊🏼
And just like that, the blink of an eye 😉, 2018 has almost disappeared. Thank u, buuuut next 💁🏼‍♀️ anyone else beyond excited for 2019? New adventures! New beginnings! New chapters! New destinations! . . What exciting plans or goals or travels do you have for the upcoming year? I wanna hear them allll!
First time snowshoeing, in a this winter ❄️ wonderland I call home, was a success and a stunna. Sometimes I forget how beautiful the PNW is! Now, I need to try snowboarding, curling, snow polo and skijoring! What’s your favorite winter activity?
Craving some Christmas markets 🎄 ⛄️ & mulled wine 🍷 & festive cheer 🎉! My favorite thing about wandering through a Christmas market is the mulled wine and collection of Christmas ornaments. But mostly the Christmas mugs, I’ve got a growing collection of market mugs because (despite being a pain to travel with) they are my favorite holiday souvenir 🍻 🥂
In the grand scheme of things, we’re all pretty tiiinnny on this massively gigantic planet 🌎 can you spot me?
Edinburgh quickly became one of my favorite cities in Europe. But, I can’t always find the words to explain why. It’s mostly just memories, feelings and a smile that gleams across my face when I think of Edinburgh. I’m counting down the moments until I can get an ice cream at Mary’s Milk Bar or sip some Scottish whiskey at the gates of the castle. Although I’m still working on a way to get that Scottish passport, because I don’t think it’ll be so easy to leave next time! Have you ever felt this way about a city?
Everyone needs a time out in the corner every now and then. To breathe some fresh air, clear your mind, rejuvenate and surround yourself with leaves and mud. I sent myself to the corners of corners; the northwestern-most corner of Washington State: Cape Flattery! It was moody, green, wet, windy, and gray; and I wouldn’t expect anything else. As much as people tend to hate on it, I love the moodiness of Washington. Are you a fan of the rainy weather or do you prefer the opposite and can only be in cities that have constant sun rays shinning down?!
Straight out of the Twilight ✨ The modern village of La Push, home to the Quileute tribe, got its name from traders calling it ‘la bouche’ (which is the French word for river mouth), and is known for its traditional stories & myths. One being of Raven Tales which are stories of Bayak, the ‘Trickster Raven’. He was a sly and crafty raven whose interaction with other animals were taught as lessons to young children. Another traditional mythology story was about a kelp haired child snatcher called Duskiya, which was basically an indigenous boogeyman. If you ever find yourself in the corner of Washington State, do yourself a favor and stop in the museum and read the myths and stories that have been passed down for generations.
