  • Headed to the Smokies this past weekend for my birthday. And even though it was a bit cold, I'm glad I got outside while it was sunny. I'm ready for this winter to be over! #smokymountains #greatsmokymountains #abramsfalls #outdooradventure #goexplore #hikeon
  • I hate the end of summer. It's my favorite season hands down. And I feel like I shouldn't be too greedy this year since I actually got almost 6 months of summer. ☀️ 😊 Maybe I just belong in places like Bali year round? ** ** ** #bali #balilife #uluwatu #dreamlandbeach #thisisindonesia #southeastasia #southeastasiatrip #southeastasiatravel #sheisnotlost #wearetravelgirls
  • Easily one of my favorite shots from my trip to the Elephant Nature Park outside of Chiang Mai. And as I took a look back through my photos from there yesterday I realized something...I am apparently obsessed with taking close-ups of elephants! All of my favorite shots are of like half an elephant's face. And I love them!❤️🐘 ** ** ** ** #elephant #elephantnatureparkchiangmai #elephantnaturepark #elephantsactuary #elephantphotography #chiangmai #chiangmaithailand #iloveelephants #feedyouradventure #wanderlust #exploremore #fujifilmx_us #passionpassport #gltlove
  • Wakeboarding + Lake Jocassee = ❤️. And yes, wakeboarding! I'm not very good yet, I'm only just now attempting my first "hops" as I like to call them, but I've really grown to love it. I only first started three years ago and it's now something I look forward to each summer. And it also makes me happy to pick up a new hobby, a new sport as an adult. Too often we seem to stop doing the things we love. And I'm always excited to embrace something new. ** ** ** #lakejocassee #lakelife #wakeboarding #wakeboardinglife #adventureisoutthere #goexplore #yeahthatgreenville #GVLtoday #greenvillesc #upstate #southcarolina #discoversc #visitoconeesc
  • Trying to write about my favorite beaches from my trip is hard. Proving almost too hard. But there is one that stands out to me. With the whitest, softest sands. With water such a blue I was blown away. And though I was only here for a little over an hour, my group did almost have it to ourselves. Thank you Sea Dragon Liveaboard for dropping us off before the day trippers arrived.Oh and just where is this? The Similian Islands. ❤️ ** ** ** #similianislands #liveaboard #beautifulbeaches #bestbeachesintheworld #thailanddiaries #thailandinsider #thailandismagic #amazingthailand #welltravelled #domore #travelmore
  • Last weekend I took the advantage of July 4th falling on a Wednesday to make a reallllly long weekend out of it. My destination? New Orleans. And looking back on the trip, there wasn't much else I did besides eat and drink my way around the city. Case in point this amazing restaurant in the Bywater. Elizabeth's was in my top 3 favorite meals. The oyster, hash, hollandaise concoction was so good I'm still thinking about it.❤️😋 #neworleans #neworleansfood #brunchtime #beautifulbuildings #signsgalore #visitneworleans #onetimeinnola #nola #nolaeats #nolabrunch
