This year, I want to travel as much as possible. Anytime I explore a new place, my inspiration levels skyrocket through the roof and I feel absolutely refreshed. I took this photo over the summer near Page, Arizona after visiting Antelope Canyon on a hiking roadtrip with a girlfriend. On our way to Flagstaff, our GPS directed us to a bumpy dirt road that literally seemed like it would never end. Nervous about popping a tire and without cell reception, we had to drive 10 miles an hour around massive ditches and giant rocks. It took forever! Looking back on it now we can laugh about it and I long to be staring at the desert landscape again. 

I wonder which destinations I'll cross off my bucket list this year?

A Little Trip to Providence, RI

 

 

On a recent trip to Rhode Island to attend the opening of Foolproof Brewing Company (I'm the brand artist for the brewery!) I was able to visit some of my favorite places in Providence. When I was in school at RISD, I regularly came to the Providence Athenaeum to read because the interior is awe-inspiring. There are so many little nooks and private corners to get cozy and immerse yourself into a novel. This place is dear to my heart.

1. The Providence Anthenaeum is the 4th oldest subscription library in the USA, founded in 1753

2. Edgar Allen Poe was visited regularly

3. Member's dogs are allowed inside! 

 

Nevada, Utah & Arizona Trip

I just came back from the most amazing roadtrip with my girlfriend from college. We traveled from Vegas  --->  Zion National Park  --->  Bryce Canyon  --->  Antelope Canyon & Page, Arizona  ---> The Grand Canyon  ---> Sedona  ---> Acrosanti  ---> Phoenix. The transitioning landscapes were awe-inspiring and the daily hiking and yoga classes made it super relaxing. I feel refreshed! 

 

Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum

On a recent weelend trip to D.C, I visited the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum (yes, I'm a total nerd!) I could have spent all day walking around the cosmos and through aircraft exibits. Even though the museum was a little stuffy and a little outdated, it was still really fun. 

 I was immediately blown away by this gorgeous mural at the entrance.  I love large scale photography! I can see one of these plans hanging in my living room. 

Beautiful South Carolina

Visiting my family in Charleston, South Carolina was a blast. I loved walking around historic downtown and viewing the gorgeous, classic architecture. The slightly setting sun made it ideal for snapping photos!

Yeti really enjoyed herself on the beach too!

Hiking In Purgatory Chasm

 Purgatory Chasm in a Massachusetts State Reservation located fifty minutes outside of Boston. I went hiking there recently and was blown away with how gorgeous it was!

Hello Beautiful San Francisco

Here are some serene pics from my recent trip to SF.
