Adventures in New York: Welcome to New York City

'One belongs to New York instantly, one belongs to it as much in five minutes as in five years.'-T. Wolfe I love New York, which should be apparent if you've read some of my posts! I love the way I feel in the city, the architecture, the museums, and, mostly, Broadway. As I am not …

Adventures in Iceland: The Story of an Adventure

'This is a story of how a [Kelly] had an adventure, and found [herself] doing and saying things altogether unexpected.'-J.R.R. Tolkien As the tales from my 'Adventures in Iceland' concludes, I am filled with gratitude. I came back from Iceland a changed person. It was my first foray into international solo travel and I did …

Adventures in Iceland: Reykjavik

As I said in Planning for Iceland, my hotel was about 15 minutes from the center of Reykjavik. It was also easy to get there! After the odyssey of my first morning, I wasn't planning on going into the city. The front desk said it was about a 20 minute walk and I was so …

Adventures in Iceland: The Northern Lights

As I mentioned in a Planning for Iceland, the great hope of my trip was to see the Northern Lights. In the weeks leading up to my trip, I lost complete hope that I would actually see them. See, the Aurora are a temperamental phenomena as you have to have perfect conditions: in the very …

Continuing with National Parks Week, a shot fo Cathedral Rock at one of my favorite parks, Capital Reef! Make sure you take SR-12 from @brycecanyonnps_gov to get there! All about SR-12 and Capital Reef in bio.
To continue our celebration of National Parks week, I bring you Bryce Canyon! The scope and diversity of hoodoos and erosion on the canyon walls is unreal. That wind did this...Mother Nature is something else! More on my time at Bryce in bio.
If you’re visiting Zion (and you should), be sure to make the trek to Kolob Canyon. While the main part of Zion is one of the most visited parks, this Canyon is often missed. More about Zion on the blog, link in bio.
It’s National Parks Week! Did you know that Great Basin National Park is one of the least visited parks!?! If you’re road tripping the southwest, it’s worth the slight detour (one my way from Bend to Zion via the Nevada route) perfect spot to walk around and have deer join my hike. Link in bio about the park!
It’s the start of National Parks Week! This week I’ll be sharing some favorite photos from my trip last year (6 parks in 8 days) but I’d remiss to not share one of my favorite parks with the bluest water I’ve ever seen! Cannot wait to go back with my brother next month!!
Quite the show from my living room the other night...forever grateful for this view!
‘It is not so much for its beauty that the forest makes a claim upon men’s hearts, as for that subtle something, that quality of air that emanation from old trees, that so wonderfully changes and renews a weary spirit.’-R.L. Stevenson
Bend from above...
‘[Kintsugi is] the art of fixing broken things with lacquer dusted with powdered gold to treat repair as part of the history, rather than disguising the breakage. The brokenness becomes part of the story and the beauty of the piece.’-Jenny Lawson
Just maybe...
I was talking to my cousin about future travel and I’m ready for a long haul flight. This is still one of my favorite shots/places and I remember this day so vividly. Life is an adventure and you never know where it will lead!
A year and a half in Bend...time flies in the mountains!
