Breaking the Bubble Line
The Journey I am five days away from doing something I have dreamed about since I was a little girl: publishing a book. I have been writing since my mom gave my first journal when I was six. I still have that journal. It’s embarrassingly pink and has cats and teacups on it. I distinctly…

Firsts: Bonefish on the Fly
The idea to go to Belize came one night after my partner and I had talked about saltwater fly fishing. We watched a bunch of YouTube videos of people fishing for bonefish, permit, trigger fish, parrot fish, and just about any other reef fish you could imagine.

First Hikes & New Terrain
“How many feelings can one heart hold?…Infinite, Luna thought. The way the universe is infinite. It is light and dark and endless motion; it is space and time, and space within space, and time within time.

Hiking: In Memory of My Boots
The Adventures We’ve Had I love being outside in the sun, rain, wind, and elements. I love hanging out with my guys, stumbling along through the brush, bugs, and mud. But I am still a girl. I still like pretty things. I still love my shoes. They help take me places I never thought I…

Last Frontier: The Reflection
