This place is SO breathtaking especially when you This place is SO breathtaking especially when you do the 📍Nugget Falls Trail! This is by the #MendenhallGlacier in #JuneauAlaska 🧊💧 Water is seriously blue anddd of course, as cold as it looks!! 

The Mendenhall Glacier is about 13.6 miles long and is a relic part of the Little Ice Age (that’s about 3k+ years ago). As it melts, it extends into the Mendenhall Lake (which you see here). You can see the 377-foot Nugget Falls, and these falls was only formed as the glacier melts, which is evident of how climate change impacts glaciers because the Nugget Falls used to flow under the Mendenhall Glacier!

The Tongass National Forest is the largest National Forest in the whole US🇺🇸, at 17 million acres, 500 miles long, and 2,000+ islands. I would SO return to Alaska one day.

Who loves midnight sun?! ☀️ It’s just a diff Who loves midnight sun?! ☀️ It’s just a different vibe that hits and something about watching the midnight sun come through in the middle of the ocean is SO beautiful. Because the sun travels in a slanting 360 degree circle in the sky closer to these locations, Alaska gets to enjoy longer daylight hours especially in the summer.

I took the @carnival Splendor ship to enjoy the beautiful travels of #Alaska earlier this month! Here are my 11 tips of how to make THE MOST out of your cruise while you’re on sea. Because you’ll spend 2 whole days in the sea to go towards Alaska and a lot in between!

I’m currently writing up blog posts for Alaska so stay tuned by following me/signing up for my newsletter.

Went back to the #PacificNorthwest 🌲, since vis Went back to the #PacificNorthwest 🌲, since visiting for the first time last year. This time in #Seattle 🏙 I’m kinda obsessed with this hotel’s balcony city views😂 if you couldn’t tell…

Highly recommend this hotel!! Room was comfy and clean and spacious. It’s probs the more affordable ones too after searching around (and kinda booking last minute). If you book on @expedia , there’s also free breakfast.

📍 Currently in and loving #Alaska 🏔!!! I can 📍 Currently in and loving #Alaska 🏔!!! I can’t wait to post all about my trip here… I took a cruise out here to explore the state (and Pacific Northwest). LET’s just say Alaska has became my favorite state! (It’s not hard to see why with these views…)

As some of y’all may know, I LOVE my cold water and I enjoyed polar plunging with some of the guests onboard including the director. 

Alaskan waters are cold all year round and idk how cold the water is (probably an easy 30-40 degrees) but it’s definitely worth jumping into during the summer. 😂😉

Stay tuned for more luscious adventures/views….when I get better service.

Always sad to see some pair of good trail shoes ha Always sad to see some pair of good trail shoes having to go!!! 🥾😢 My @merrell shoes have been such an amazing investment as I hiked countless trails with them in 5 years. I really put them to use and they’ve been in some of my memorable hikes especially in the Arizona desert 🌵 since moving here 3 years ago.

Now I need new hiking shoes!! Please recommend me your favorite ones. 😌

I have a whole blog post on it if you search “Salt River Tubing” on my blog site for more information!

A view where you can explore in a cave, meditate b A view where you can explore in a cave, meditate by a vortex, and swim in the creek? Now THIS is a place of adventure. 🏜 

Located in a parking area on the creek side of Highway 179 (just past the Poco Diablo Resort), the 📍 Wind Tunnels trail aka Sedona Wind Caves is just 0.5 mile hike up to these red rock caves. This trail isn’t on AllTrails from what I saw and it’s much better to hike when you are guided by a local or someone whose previously done it. There are cairns to help but it can still be challenging to find on your own.

To get to the trail, first you need to cross over the creek, not once but twice. And then it can get pretty challenging as you gotta scramble up… thanks for the help of my friends 😂! Above the caves, you can then go climb up more so that will take you to the vortex by this Juniper tree, which is perfect to meditate by.

The Sinagua tribe used to go here to use these caves as campfires centuries ago, so you’ll see why there are some black marks on the rocks! 

Overall, LOVE this special place and if you go to my last reel, you’ll see how fun it was to swim around the creek there. Felt like I was a female Indiana Jones😎

Paradise in Sedona 💦🧘🏻‍♀️🌿 The f Paradise in Sedona 💦🧘🏻‍♀️🌿 The freshwater creek water flows from Sterling Springs Canyon.

There are SO many swimming spots in #Sedona but this particular one can be found when you go for the Wind Caves hike, right next to the Oak Creek so it’s not a popular one. Thanks to my adventurous and strong girl friend @yogi_kenzi for guiding me to a spot that only many locals know about.

Have you enjoyed the water (and even seen these mini waterfalls) in Sedona yet? It was my first time!
One of my girlfriends sent me this audio and I mad One of my girlfriends sent me this audio and I made a reel out of it of course, especially having captured alotta videos from this hike🤣

Ever feel like you romanticize your home state when you’re reminded of the beauty that surrounds you AND when you discover new spots for yourself..? Loved this hike 🥾!!

This trail 📍Wind Cave Trail is located in Usery This trail 📍Wind Cave Trail is located in Usery Mountain Regional Park in Mesa, AZ. It’s a stunning hike 🌵 all around and leads you to a cave in Pass Mountain (and more than one cave too) and it overlooks the city of Phoenix. You’ll notice the vivid patterns of these granite cliffs are all exposed with lichen. However it requires a $7 permit fee to enter the trail and park.

I personally love hiking caves because there’s so many to find in the desert especially on the east side of AZ. I also love caves for the shade they provide and geological features. Do you like caves too?

My sisters came to shortly visit AZ and suggested My sisters came to shortly visit AZ and suggested we checked out @pembertonphx and it’s an awesome chill place!! Especially if you love food, music, and some good vibes. Def a great place to bring your friends or family to hangout at when in downtown #Phoenix. Would you come down here for the atmosphere too?
