Adventures in Iceland: Whale Watching

January 31, 2019February 7, 2019 / Kelly / 3 Comments

For someone who is always cold, I always manage to find things to do that will make me colder. Deciding to go whale watching in Iceland in January would be one of those things. The irony is, the more fun you have the less you seem to notice you've lost feeling in your fingers. I … Continue reading Adventures in Iceland: Whale Watching

Adventures in Iceland: Golden Circle Tour

January 28, 2019February 7, 2019 / Kelly / Leave a comment

When I decided to visit Iceland, I immediately knew that I wanted to see the Northern Lights. Thus, the Golden Circle and Northern Lights Package was the obvious choice. My hunt for the Northern Lights will be forthcoming, so I'm just going to focus on the Golden Circle, one of the most popular tours to … Continue reading Adventures in Iceland: Golden Circle Tour

Adventures in Iceland: The Blue Lagoon

January 25, 2019February 7, 2019 / Kelly

One of the most famous sites to visit in Iceland is the Blue Lagoon. Once again, my journey there was booked from Icelandair. Ideally I would have gone the last day of my trip, to relax before leaving, but I ended up visiting day two. I highly recommend bringing as little as possible, getting lots … Continue reading Adventures in Iceland: The Blue Lagoon

Adventures in Iceland: The Lava Tunnel

January 18, 2019February 7, 2019 / Kelly / 3 Comments

For as long as I can remember, I have been fascinated by volcanos. Maybe it was growing up in the 'Ring of Fire' (although there were no volcanos in Lake Arrowhead, CA) or that Dante's Peak really made impression on me. Whatever it was, I have been hooked. So going to the Land of Fire and Ice, … Continue reading Adventures in Iceland: The Lava Tunnel

Adventures in Iceland: Packing for Winter in Iceland

January 15, 2019February 7, 2019 / Kelly / Leave a comment

When I told people I was going to Iceland in January, most thought I was nuts. The immediate response was almost always, "But it will be so cold!" If anyone has seen the '90s movie, D2: The Mighty Ducks, you will know that Iceland is green and Greenland is made out of ice. While that is not … Continue reading Adventures in Iceland: Packing for Winter in Iceland

Adventures in Iceland: Planning for Iceland

January 10, 2019February 7, 2019 / Kelly / 3 Comments

When I decided to live 'Furiously Happy,' I chose to stay in my small apartment in the suburbs of Philadelphia instead of moving to the city as I planned. The reason was simple, I wanted to travel the world. I have been fortunate to travel the globe, but had not gone on a holiday of … Continue reading Adventures in Iceland: Planning for Iceland

Spent that last few days exploring @glaciernps and camping at Many Glacier. Truly magical and cannot wait to share more!
Happy Summer Solstice and a new season both literally and figuratively. Moving is a lot, especially when you have chronic anxiety. But one day and a time!
On my way out of Oregon for the final time before the move, I did a quick stop at one of my favorite places, the Painted Hills and it was the perfect afternoon! If you’re visiting Bend, be sure to make the trip-about 2 hours away!
So glad I was able to stop in Bend for the night to see some friends before I move next month. Sorry to those I missed but know I’m very grateful. Watching the waning sunset at Smith Rock was a lovely way to close this chapter.
It’s CMA Fest weekend and I wish I could be there. I love country music (wrote all about it on the blog) and spending the weekend in Nashville with my brother was awesome! I cannot wait to go back but stoked to be moving to a country capital soon!
Sneak peak of this week’s post of visiting the ends of the Earth…or at least the western US.
Thank you all so much for the messages of congratulations! I still am in shock about moving and leaving behind the amazing life I’ve created in the Pacific Northwest but excited to see what West Texas beholds. Cheers to the Next Great Adventure ❤️
'I encourage everybody to hop on Google and type in ‘national park’ in whatever state they live in and see the beauty that lies in their own backyard. It’s that simple.'-Jordan Fisher
‘It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.’-A. Lincoln, ‘The Gettysburg Address’
Cannot believe it’s been nearly three years since I went to New Zealand and Australia. The trip pushed me way out of my comfort zone and some life changing experiences.
My post on Upper Antelope Canyon is officially my most read! Thank you to the hundreds that have read it and I hope you enjoy the canyons as much as I did!
Today is the anniversary of the Mount St. Helen’s eruption. I grew up fascinated by what had happened but nothing can prepare you for how barren the land still is after all these years, especially if you visit Mt. Rainier after.
