POV: kayaking in Portugal 🦈
Spoiler alert - I didn’t see a shark 😅
I booked our kayaking cave tour through @getyourguide and we had a great experience!!
It was 80€ + a tip for a 2-hour experience and it was SO WORTH IT 🤘🏼
Also, this was my first time really using my new @gopro - what do you think?? 🤩
We have one more Portugal experience booked - it’s completely different than kayaking through caves (hint: 🍷) so let me know if you’d like to come along!! 🫶🏼
Would you go kayaking through ocean caves?? 🐠

Not bad for a plan b 😮‍💨 We were supposed

Not bad for a plan b 😮‍💨
We were supposed to spend 5 days in Madeira aka “the Hawaii of Europe” 🦎
But a 5 hour delay turned into 6, then a cancellation 🙅🏻‍♀️🛩️🫠
With no other available flights to the island, we frantically messaged our Portuguese friend Fonzie (@theamaroadventure), who helped us find the fisherman village of Porto Covo
💭✨🐟
After the rush of Lisbon, Porto Covo’s empty beaches and sleepy town were exactly what we needed 🙏🏼
We spent our days relaxing on the beach, did a 4-mile coastal hike to a 14th century fort, and played lots of Phase 10 🍻
Hopefully we’ll make it to Madeira one day!! 👋🏼

On sabbatical ✌🏼 Every five years, Dom gets

On sabbatical ✌🏼
Every five years, Dom gets a month-long sabbatical from work and now that I'm self-employed, we're on sabbatical together! 🫶🏼✈️🇵🇹
Here’s a look at our first week in Portugal:
1. We didn’t make any plans for Lisbon.. we’ve just been wandering around, stopping whenever and wherever we want 🫶🏼 it’s been such a nice way to acclimate to a new country!
2. “This is a top 10 moment in life” 🥺🍻🌇
3. It is soooo nice to walk everywhere and be outside all the time ✨ it’s also nice that beer is only ~1.50€
4. No plans = a lot of time just chillin in green spaces 🌿
5. Our first dinner was tacos 🌮 and the best quesadilla we’ve ever had 🤤
6. We’re averaging 14,000 steps a day and very grateful for our able bodies 🙏🏼
7. 🤜🏻🧨
8. Have I mentioned that this is our first international trip?? Lisbon will always have a special place in our hearts 🫶🏼🍷
9. I had a lot of anxiety leading up to this trip… and now that we’re here, I’m finally able to relax. Jet lag is kicking my ass tho.. I’m sleeping ~11 hours a night 😮‍💨
10. This picture made me cry. I miss my baby so much but he is in good hands 🥹
I created a Portugal highlight and will continue to share more…. But for the next week, I’m going on vacation
🫡🌿🏖️✨🦎
Thank you so much for being here. Your support means that I’m able to take the sabbatical we’ve been dreaming of for years.
👋🏼💖

Finding magic on the trail 🥾 I’m so excited

Finding magic on the trail 🥾
I’m so excited to share the limited-edition collaboration from @HOKA x @Cotopaxi, now available @REI! (AD)
The hiking shoes and hip pack in this collaboration are all about outdoor adventures, bright colors, and finding magic out on the trail. 🌼
To me, finding magic on the trail is all about slowing down and spending intentional time in nature. It comes in wildflowers, less traveled trails, and good company.
What does magic on the trail look like to you? 💫
