I’m so happy I didn’t cancel my trip to Japan (thought about it!) and feel SO lucky to get to see these snow monkeys in the wild in the mountain hot springs of Nagano. This is one of those experiences you remember forever—and I get to spend another day with them today 🤩

Canada is so appealing in so many ways! :) check out this pristine wilderness in BC at the Great Bear Rainforest.

Every year when I start thinking about where I most want to travel, Alaska and its #nationalparks always seem to be top of mind... :)

Spent the last month in North Carolina’s Outer Banks - so great during the off-season! Caught the sunrise last week at the beloved “Black Pearl” ocean-on house in Rodanthe … and found a perfect shell to match. ;)
