I found girlhood in the mountains💅

Between early mornings on the trail, shared meals at camp, tired legs & laughing way too hard after a long day outside, I found a community I’ve always longed for.

Over the last decade, I’ve met some incredible women through Instagram, hiking groups, and simply putting myself out there and saying, “Hey, want to go adventure?” It’s been pretty amazing watching strangers become trail friends & trail friends become people you genuinely look forward to seeing again.

There’s something about backpacking that creates a different kind of friendship. You see each other when you’re tired, dirty, hungry, covered in mosquito bites, stinky 🙈… but completely yourself. You share the hard miles, the quiet moments, the epic summit moments, the laughs & you learn how to show up for each other whether it’s through conversation or acts like boiling extra water for your friends.

Finding your outdoor community can feel intimidating. Sometimes you have to be the one to send the message, join the group, or show up to a hike where you don’t know anyone. But those little moments of putting yourself out there can turn into some of the best friendships.

The mountains have given me so much, but the people I’ve met along the way are my favorite part. 🫶

Here’s to more miles, more stories & more women finding their place outside 🤍

One of the most epic places to spend a few days hiking, fishing & laughing amongst good company 🫶

📍Sabrina Basin, Bishop, CA

Some of my highlights from this trip include giggling at the lake named “Dingleberry Lake” 🤭, enjoying the stunning views of Hungry Packer Lake & telling my friends I would wake up to see the Milky Way but then proceeding to sleep. HIGHLY reccomend spending some time in the Sabrina Basin! 🥾

It feels fitting to finally share a life update on Earth Day! I’m so in love with our beautiful planet. 🥹 I’ve been in Tasmania, Australia the last few months living, working and traveling this incredible island state.
This last weekend I explored the Tasman Peninsula with @jenitavaa and @johanna19.8 and wow… this place awoke my soul!

We had no plan, followed road signs and found incredible bays, swam, ate the best ice cream, swang on the beach and spotted lots of sweet padamelons. Travel is opening my heart to remember how beautiful, diverse and sacred our planet is. ✨

Here’s to continuing to explore and live with the intention to doing more little things like composting and buying less to honor our Earth. 🌏

Apparently the only good footage from this trip was the videos I shot. Most of which were just people posing for photos. 😂

The perfect ending to a crazy few days! To think this is all because of a flip of a quarter.
