  • july phone photo dump 🇫🇷🇹🇷🇨🇭🇱🇧 I am perpetually behind on sharing photos & stories, a product of travelling literally all the time & forever opting to ‘go explore’ instead of catching up on my mountain of unedited photos & half-written posts on the computer… I decided several months ago that I wanted to share a monthly highlights post & include more of the ‘unedited’ iPhone-camera moments that don’t usually make it onto my feed. I even wrote this list… and then got too busy to share. So, here’s a little look back at July and HOPEFULLY the first of many monthly highlight posts :) memorable moments: ☀️ sunny week of climbing in the French Alps 🏔️ solo climbing Mont Blanc, a major dream of mine! 🇹🇷 flying business class to Istanbul & going bananas in the lounge 🥾 hiking the Haute Route 🇨🇭 co-working with @maeve.desay & @ajwilrad in Zermatt while waiting for a weather window to climb the Matterhorn (which did not happen) 🇱🇧 ending the month in a new country, Lebanon! . . . . . #travel #travelgirl #photodump #frenchalps #hauteroute #lebanon #fulltimetravel #traveltheworld
  • 3 moody saunas to visit in southern Norway 🧖🏽‍♀️🔥 I just spent a fantastic week sauna-hopping my way through Norway, and even with all the moody weather, it was an incredible showcase of the misty fjords & the perfect opportunity to appreciate the simple pleasures of a wood fire. A few faves ↯ 📍Soria Moria, Dalen ⭐️ best for: luxury sauna experience with an incredible view of the canals 💸 300NOK for 2hrs of private sauna use (up to 5 people) 🛌 spend an elegant night at the historic @dalenhotel 📍Sauna Vebekkdalen, Seljord ⭐️ best for: complete seclusion on the lake, an entire day of sauna & swimming with space to picnic 💸 450NOK for 24hrs of private sauna use 🛏️ stay nearby at the cutest Norwegian hytte (see my full blog post for a link to the airbnb) 📍KOK, Oslo ⭐️ best for: a sauna experience right in the city, the perfect rainy (or sunny) day activity in Oslo! 💸 from 1990NOK for 2hrs of private sauna use (up to 10 people) or 240NOK per person in the communal sauna 🛏️ all the best parts of a hotel combined with the perks of local living in Oslo @bobwco . . . . . . . . @visitseljord #visittelemark #visitnorway #mynorway #soriamoriasauna #dalenhotel #oslo #visitseljord #sleepwithbobw #sauna #saunatime #saunalife
  • THE LAUGAVEGUR TRAIL, an incredible journey through the wild & wonderful Icelandic Highlands 🤩☄️🪐 Although I tend to favour demanding backcountry treks, the Laugavegur is remarkable for an entirely different reason— at 56km & less than 2000m of elevation gain across the entire route, it’s a hike suited to just about anyone, with well-placed huts providing indoor accommodation options & the ability to carry a light pack. On any other route, those stats might equate to boredom for avid hikers, but with the kaleidoscope of folded hills & geysers & steam vents & volcanic valleys & surging rivers than central Iceland holds, it actually just means more time to run around & ENJOY. The true joy of a 12km day isn’t arriving into camp at midday, it’s the freedom to spend hours running up an interesting looking mountain off the side of the trail or to clamber all the way down to the edge of the canyon or to skinny-dip in a glacier lake (all cleared with the ranger, of course). For 4 sweet days, we delighted in being the last ones to arrive to camp every night, dispersing our limitless hours across the landscape in search of ever-better vantage points & time-consuming photo ops. After a long summer of running between a dozen countries, tackling long hiking routes, and climbing at elevation, it was such a treat to meander through Iceland with little more than a few hours of walking on each day’s agenda but an entire universe to explore between Landmannalaugar and Þórsmörk… All photos taken off-route while making absolutely zero progress from Point A to Point B, just how we like it 💃🏻🕺🏻 . . . . . . . . #laugavegur #laugavegurtrail #iceland #icelandtrip #icelandnature #hikersofinstagram #hikerbabes #hikergirl #landmannalaugar #icelandtravel #icelandadventure
  • The reality of life on the road is that I spend more time thinking about leaving than I ever do about staying. Blessed or plagued or perhaps some combination of the both with a wild spirit that seems only settled in the most uncertain of circumstances, I find myself alight in chaos & drawn inexplicably to something new. Change has been the only constant in my life for a long time now and I’ve gotten really good at ~leaving~, at dreaming about the next thing, at always moving forward, at staring out the plane window & wondering who I’ll get to be tomorrow. I never really know. I’ve been one million versions of myself, a product of the places I breathe & the people who wash over me & the winds that carry always new opportunities to me on a road where I can only see the moments & never the years that stretch ahead. In the next life, I wonder if I’ll know what it feels like to stay. For now, I pander to the whims of my restless heart. Take me anywhere. . . . . #travelgirl #anywhere #travelreels #restlessheart #travelgram

The true joy of a 12km day isn’t arriving into camp at midday, it’s the freedom to spend hours running up an interesting looking mountain off the side of the trail or to clamber all the way down to the edge of the canyon or to skinny-dip in a glacier lake (all cleared with the ranger, of course). For 4 sweet days, we delighted in being the last ones to arrive to camp every night, dispersing our limitless hours across the landscape in search of ever-better vantage points & time-consuming photo ops. After a long summer of running between a dozen countries, tackling long hiking routes, and climbing at elevation, it was such a treat to meander through Iceland with little more than a few hours of walking on each day’s agenda but an entire universe to explore between Landmannalaugar and Þórsmörk… All photos taken off-route while making absolutely zero progress from Point A to Point B, just how we like it 💃🏻🕺🏻 . . . . . . . . #laugavegur #laugavegurtrail #iceland #icelandtrip #icelandnature #hikersofinstagram #hikerbabes #hikergirl #landmannalaugar #icelandtravel #icelandadventure
THE LAUGAVEGUR TRAIL, an incredible journey through the wild & wonderful Icelandic Highlands 🤩☄️🪐 Although I tend to favour demanding backcountry treks, the Laugavegur is remarkable for an entirely different reason— at 56km & less than 2000m of elevation gain across the entire route, it’s a hike suited to just about anyone, with well-placed huts providing indoor accommodation options & the ability to carry a light pack. On any other route, those stats might equate to boredom for avid hikers, but with the kaleidoscope of folded hills & geysers & steam vents & volcanic valleys & surging rivers than central Iceland holds, it actually just means more time to run around & ENJOY.

The reality of life on the road is that I spend more time thinking about leaving than I ever do about staying. Blessed or plagued or perhaps some combination of the both with a wild spirit that seems only settled in the most uncertain of circumstances, I find myself alight in chaos & drawn inexplicably to something new. Change has been the only constant in my life for a long time now and I’ve gotten really good at ~leaving~, at dreaming about the next thing, at always moving forward, at staring out the plane window & wondering who I’ll get to be tomorrow. I never really know. I’ve been one million versions of myself, a product of the places I breathe & the people who wash over me & the winds that carry always new opportunities to me on a road where I can only see the moments & never the years that stretch ahead. In the next life, I wonder if I’ll know what it feels like to stay. For now, I pander to the whims of my restless heart. Take me anywhere. . . . . #travelgirl #anywhere #travelreels #restlessheart #travelgram
