Hey, 2024 - Bring it On
Hey Friends,
Happy New Year 2024! 🎉 How's the vibe? Sending vibes for an extraordinary year ahead filled with epic adventures and moments that make you go, "Wowza, that was gnarly!"
Yellowstone National Park
Yellowstone. Have you heard? Have you been? HAVE YOU SEEN!? GET IT TOGETHER! Okay, just kidding. I didn’t visit this park until I was 30, so what am I even saying.
Luckily, for my first visit to the park, I had a Yellowstone pro with me. Morgan spent the summer of COVID-19 near Yellowstone and therefore is VERY versed in its facts, money spots, and places to stop for lunch.
Ferry Boats, Mermaid Spotting, & Paddle Boarding on Orcas Island
Our van-venture began on July 8th from Southern California up to Anacortes Washington. Follow us as we take the Ferry to the San Juan Island of Orcas and enjoy on mostly unplugged week at Morgan's Family Reunion.
Traveling Solo Female, Portland Maine, Acadia National Park
After my best friends wedding week, she headed off on her honeymoon, and she left me to look after her house. So when in Maine, I had to make my way up to Acadia National Park. I had never been, and I was in need of some alone time in the sun and looking at water.
Death Valley: New Friends in the Van
With a name like Death Valley you know just how important it is to visit at the right time. As a hater of heat, I chose to go in winter so I could enjoy the absolutely beautiful landscape in the comfort of a cozy sweatshirt. My friend Sarah (we’ve been besties for 13 years now!!) isn’t entirely into the full time “vanlife” thing, but she still wanted me to show her the ropes so we planned a little weekend friend-cation for just the two of us.
The Grand Canyon: Our Maiden Voyage of VanLife
And so it begins...
Have you ever wanted to do something so badly that once you’ve accomplished it, it doesn’t even feel real? That is exactly what this trip felt like for me
