This picture was taken almost exactly a year ago on our fly fishing trip down in North Carolina 🏕🎣⛰ We fished the Nantahala River and Deep Creek in #GSMNP and had an absolute blast. Who else has visited WNC during the spring?🙋🏻‍♀️ #findyourpause #visitNC #flyfishing
Looking for an easy spring or summer road trip destination? Allow me to suggest checking out Lake Moomaw aka one of my favorite places in Virginia 🤗 ➙ Link in bio to @theoutbound for more info ! #loveVA #wildernessculture #myblueridge #letscamp 🏕 (I’ve been slowly learning photoshop and this was my first try at stitching two of my favorite images together!)
Today I found a draft on my blog I forgot to publish back in FEBRUARY 🤦🏻‍♀️ I know, I know... better late than never right?? 😂 Hiking the Canyon Overlook Trail in @zionnps is now (finally) on the blog!!🏜 Link in bio to see more pictures! #findyourpark #zionnationalpark #exploreamerica #forceofnature #cutestsisterever
Some girls dress up in makeup, heels and dresses... and then some girls dress up in waders, hats and smiles. I’m lucky to have a dude that loves when I wear the latter 😉 Thanks for the snap @michaelsnow14 ! #forceofnature #dirtysweatyhappy #findyourpause #ineedahaircut
“Belonging so fully to yourself that you're willing to stand alone is a W I L D E R N E S S -- an untamed, unpredictable place of solitude and searching. It is a place as dangerous as it is breathtaking, a place as sought after as it is feared. The wilderness can often feel unholy because we can't control it, or what people think about our choice of whether to venture into that vastness or not. But it turns out to be the place of true belonging, and it's the bravest and most sacred place you will ever stand.” - @brenebrown ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Just finished “Braving the Wilderness” and I’ve gotta say it was one of my favorite books I’ve read. Incredibly insightful and even if you’re someone who’s confident in yourself and where you belong- you’ll still learn something 🙌🏼 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What’s your favorite quote? 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼
Summer camp for adults with an open bar and bonfires at night? Ya had me at open bar 😉🙄! If you loved summer camp as a kid you’ll REALLY love the @theoutbound summer camp for adults. There will be trail running, hiking, SUP yoga, rock climbing, mountain biking, FLY FISHING(!!), yoga, kayaking, first aid classes, photography classes and even classes with @titosvodka so you can learn to make some bomb drinks 🌲🍸 An open bar happy hour, fire pits and live music at night and bloody mary breakfasts… it’s going to be a GOOD TIME. You can hang out with us at the event in Hunter, NY on June 29-July 1 OR if you’re a west coaster, check out the camp in Bear Valley August 10-12! 👣☀️🏞 Link in my bio for more details and how to sign up!! Will we see you there? #everyoneoutside #theoutbound #pursuitseries #camelbak #leavenotrace #catskills #letscamp (Sponsors tagged in post!)
What to pack to a desert oasis in the middle of the Peruvian desert? Tevas of course! 🌴🌺☀️🦎 #strapintofreedom #teva Working on some blog posts from our trip these next few days and you can expect some new content next week 🤗
Spring means road trips and weekends living out of the #Wrangler (+ a tent) are right around the corner! What road trips do you have planned for this spring? ☀️🌸👣 🌳🚙💨 #roadtrip #findyourpark #itsajeepthing #letscamp
Adios Perú! Eres hermosa y te extrañaré. Hasta la proxima vez... #cusco #southamerica #peru
Lima sunsets 🌅 I love the little island off the coast 🤗
The rainy season is currently coming to an end in Peru. While we only experienced rain one morning during our entire trip, when we arrived to Ollantaytambo the Urubamba River was swollen and raging with rain from the season. You could hear the roar of the rapids thousands of feet above the valley floor! #peru #iphonecapture #landscapecaptures #andes
Machu Picchu is just as amazing as you imagine it to be but you really have to see it in person to experience it. No pictures will ever do this sacred site justice. The elevation above the valley floor, the surrounding mountains... the sheer size of Machu Picchu and more importantly, the energy of Machu Picchu, cannot be captured in a single photograph. This one overlook only provides a view of a fraction of the site! This experience... this day was one of my favorite days of my life. #machupicchu #exploreperu #bucketlist
Desert vibes ☀️🌵 ...except no 🌵
We’ve made it to #Cusco! We ventured out today to check out a few churches and markets and will do the same tomorrow! But how beautiful is this @airbnb?! For $20 a night I feel like I’m robbing our host... We’re on the second level and our “front porch” has a table and chairs and overlooks the courtyard and our bedroom has a terrace that looks over another garden out back. Full kitchen and bathroom and we even have a little dining area. I will for sure be linking this sweet little place on the blog! #travelperu #Airbnb #beautifuldestinations
Spent all yesterday afternoon soaking up a little bit too much sun, ripping around in the desert on dune buggies and sand boarding 🌴 Finished the day with a gorgeous sunset sitting right beside the oasis! 🌅 📸 Shot on an iPhone 8+ ******************** And I’ve gotten like 10 messages asking... no, we didn’t come here after seeing The Bachelor, 😂 we had this trip planned for months before we left. Also- I stopped watching after episode 4 because Arie has the personality of a BRICK 🤷🏻‍♀️
