Oregon Coast has my whole heart already. The beaches and rocks (basalt) are fantastic, but it’s the wildlife that takes the cake. In 24 hours I’ve seen whales, sea lions, harbor seals, and SEA OTTERS (only my all time favorite animal). Newport has been good to me!

Oregon is just another world (how do I live here now!!) and I LOVED exploring Newberry Volcano (new landform unlocked!). Also I saw raw obsidian for the first time?!?

Utah to Oregon was a gorgeous, wild drive. Something about driving through nothing really makes that American west feel click.

Exploring the American southwest while en route to Oregon has been some of the best exploring I have ever done! Canyonlands is my new favorite place on Earth and Newspaper Rock had me all in my sentimental feels.
Also, U-Haul should totally sponsor me ;)

It was a quick trip to see my cousin, but lovely nonetheless! Spending all weekend enjoying a kettle lake + bog with family was delightful.

pruned my mini monstera at the start of summer and I’m now getting rewarded with more shoots! Hard to believe this six foot jewel isn’t even a year old yet.

It’s been a really, really rough week in the hill country. (How has it only been a week?)
Working on finding joy where I can. Yesterday’s win was finding a mint condition Big Agnes tent on Facebook marketplace (with all the pieces!) for $50!! My best thrift yet.
