See these boots I’m wearing? They’re my absolute favorite. I’ve recommended them to so many people now, I figured I share it on here too. They feel like a sneaker but act like a hiking boot. They’re lightweight & [so important] waterproof! They’re the Valentine… bit.ly/2HWR3ES

Listening to the @WomenWhoTravel Podcast this morning, I had to pause to write down this quote from Elizabeth Gilbert - “The best way for me to experience a new place is on foot until your feet fall off. You just walk and walk and walk until you cannot w… bit.ly/2QVmVwI

Monaco is all about the expensive cars, swanky casinos & luxury shopping. But that’s not really my style. I came for the views! ...& the opportunity to check out a new country for the day! 🌊 / #Monaco ift.tt/2SelMB2

Next time I’m in France, I’m skipping Paris & heading straight to the South [more specifically to this trail on the rugged coastline of Cap d’Antibes]. I just didn’t find the magic in Paris that many people see. Am I missing something? 🌊 / #CapdAntibes ift.tt/2Yjai4u

Traveling with me will almost always include finding the best landscape views that conveniently involve a hike. Ask Shannon Healy. After many trips together through nine countries, she knows how it goes. What are your travel priorities? 🌊 / #AntibesF… ift.tt/2M6PZkp

Cruisin’ the river with my #1 girl. Do I need to buy a canoe so Piper Hudson & I can make this happen more often? Probably. 🛶 / #ShenandoahRiver ift.tt/2ybW3jj

Hopefully putting my annual park pass to good use this weekend! Living 60 miles from Shenandoah National Park is pretty great in my book. I only wish I could get out to the mountains more often. Who else has a national park pass? ⛰/ #ShenandoahNP⁣ ⁣ … ift.tt/2T76a2E

The city I live in was recognized as the fittest in America & they’ve just launched a campaign to celebrate. I am here for it! 👏🏼 As much as I wish I could go out of town every weekend, I absolutely cannot. So I spend many weeknights & Sunday afternoons … ift.tt/2GVrpQa

Just spent a very fun weekend at the lake. Full days of kayaking, jet skiing, wake boarding, playing volleyball, & my new favorite game @spikeball. I’m disappointed that I didn’t take a single picture of our group of 13 friends, but of course I do have a… ift.tt/33slMm2

Just got back from a few days of hiking & camping in the wild & wonderful state. This was my first time visiting Dolly Sods in West Virginia. The elevation & position on the Eastern Continental Divide give it an ecosystem unlike any other in the area — r… ift.tt/2TNwvmv

I used to think backpacking was the best, but I’ve started to love the convenience of car camping. A recent 2-night trip to Dolly Sods was perfect. Each evening, we left camp & drove to Bear Rocks Preserve to catch the sunset. We got lucky both nights wi… ift.tt/2UlR75y

Summer has been so much fun, but it has also left me feeling depleted. Work is busy & I’ve been exhausted & overbooked for a while now. I realize I’ve committed to more than I can handle. I even had to cancel dinner with friends last night in order have … ift.tt/2PSOTfm

Currently scouring Cragslist, Facebook marketplace & other sale sites for an affordable used kayak so I can do this more often! Any idea what kind I should look for? Something that suits a beginner on rivers & lakes. Sit in or sit on? Foldable or inflata… ift.tt/2OqkzXc

It’s the most wonderful time of the year: peak fall foliage in Virginia! I stayed close to home this weekend & hiked trails near @greatfallsparkvanps for these colors. I’m hoping the leaves are still vibrant next weekend while I’m in @shenandoahnps! Save… ift.tt/2BOhxVi

Tis the season for gifting & I’m really not a great gift giver, but I do have items that I’ve bought for myself or received as gifts that I LOVE. So I thought it may be helpful to share a few of my favorite (not sponsored) things in case you want to buy … ift.tt/2DsBUbx
