Days like this outside in Oregon remind me what it’s all about 💛 friendship, offline time, new experiences, and cold water on the body to reset everything just for a little while ✨

The greens of the Oregon forest 🌿

I’m not going to lie, usually this time of year when I hike the trails are covered in mud and they are more lush than this. Our lack of rain and snow the last 6 months has taken a toll already, which has me terrified for fire season.

As we step into camping season, be super mindful of campfires - or maybe don’t even have them at all. It’s simply not worth having these gorgeous places disappear.

The feeling of camping under the stars, watching the day awake and settle under a field of wildflowers. The feeling of being offline, challenging your body by carrying everything you need on your back. Backpacking truly makes me feel all the feels and I crave this feeling often 💛

I never get tired of a beautiful sunset.
Watching the sky light up is one of my favorite past times.

Here’s to never getting sick of beautiful things, and making sure to take time to notice them ✨

any of these surprise you?

Most of these I thought I WOULDN’T miss when I was moving on the road. I was so ready to focus in on a couple hobbies that I had with me, but turns out that gets old for me quick. Creative cooking?? Turns out I actually like to cook when I have SPACE and a proper stove and oven. A blender??? I’d go wild. Hahah.

But I think most of all I didn’t realize the toll having my community spread out would have on me. Especially in combination with not being able to really properly host people in a way that is good for both parties. I miss spontaneous happy hours and celebrating the little things. There’s just no amount of time I can spend with them that makes it feel like I’m rooted in those communities anymore. And it’s something I’m craving.

I still think van life is worth it! And it has allowed me to finally get a handle on my finances… because omg you guys.. I PAID OFF MY STUDENT LOANS 2 days ago!!!!! I cried hahah. It was wonderful.

But these are just some of the unexpected things I miss about house life (among more obvious ones like showers, laundry, heat LOL)

What ones stand out to you?

Summers in Washington 👇🏻🏔️🌲

Pacific Northwest summers hold a special place in my heart and I could not wait to get back here for it.

There’s such a short window of time when the mountains are accessible and I become REALLY selfish with my time in them.

My summer anxiety has always been heightened when living in the PNW. Balancing things still on my bucket list with old favorites and god forbid you want to just chill for a weekend because then you won’t be able to dO iT ALL 🙃😵‍💫 AHHH.

All that to say - I’m so stoked to be back in Washington and here’s some old favorites

👉🏻 do you get “summer anxiety”?

Life lately 🥾 🏕️ 🏔️

Life sure has been sweet getting to spend so much time outside with friends. And we somehow got the perfect weather window before all the rain came.

1. My happy place 🥰 the mountains in Washington sure feel like home

2. The weather was rolling in fast as we were hiking out, but made for some beautiful scenery

3. Girl camp 🫶🏻

4. So many strangers offered to take photos of us on this trail. It was so sweet. They must have seen how much fun we were having together 🥹

5. Views from mouse camp (it’s truly too bad because I’ve been dying to find a camping site that’s scenic where I can exist for a while)

6. Post backpacking brewery of course.

7. Betty looking so cute in the trees. Looking QUITE BLUE I may add

8. Traded my van for a tent for a night

9. before the wind, rain, rainbow and mice 🌈🐁🌧️

10. PNW trail views

11. Mount shuksan 😍

👉🏻 which camp situation would you choose? 3, 7, or 8?

Make time for you 💛 nurture that time offline, or traveling to a place that’s been on your list. Whatever it might be that you love, make time for it.
