Shouting 🎉CONGRATULATIONS🎉 to Maine’s newe Shouting 🎉CONGRATULATIONS🎉 to Maine’s newest registered sea kayak guide @that_nomad_brian!

So proud of you 🍻 Cheers to an amazing summer 💚
Some sunsets don’t ask to be photographed—they Some sunsets don’t ask to be photographed—they just ask you to sit still.

I watched this one as we were slowly driving through Cades Cove in Great Smoky Mountains. No filter, no big moment—just colors slowly bleeding across the sky. 

Just being here, in the hush of it all, was enough.

If you’ve been rushing lately (same), maybe this is your sign to find a sunset, breathe a little slower, and remember how much beauty lives in the in-between.

🌞 Save this for the next time you need a golden hour pause.

💬 What’s a place that made you fall in love with being still?
Happy Birthday to my favorite stone-cold weirdo, r Happy Birthday to my favorite stone-cold weirdo, road trip captain, and the only person I’d want to accidentally take the wrong exit with—every single time. 🚐💛🎉

“We are all a little weird and life’s a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness” - That sums it up pretty well 😘

Thank you for being unapologetically you — for swearing at the GPS like it’s gaslighting us, for jamming to 90s bangers like we’re headlining, and for always saying yes to detours, dog cuddles, and my sudden need to pull over and stare at wildlife like it’s a religious experience.

You’re the calm to my chaos, and the reason life on the road feels like home no matter where we park it. 

Here’s to another year of chasing sunsets, collecting weird stories, and romantic dinners cooked three feet apart in a rolling metal box. 

Happy Birthday!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

((Yes our birthdays are 5 days apart))
Had to jump on this one… RV life: 10% national Had to jump on this one…

RV life: 10% national parks, 90% trying to remember where we parked the snacks.

Featuring: one chaotic travel couple + three dogs who run the show 😂 I wouldn’t have it any other way!

I know a place… Where the ground bubbles.
Wher I know a place…
Where the ground bubbles.
Where the air smells like rotten eggs but somehow still feels holy.
Where traffic jams are caused by bison with absolutely zero respect for your schedule.

Where you look around and think: Are we still on Earth?
And your soul says: Yup. But the cool part.

This place cracked open my sense of wonder and reminded me that magic doesn’t need permission, it just shows up in boiling puddles, neon pools, and elk bugles echoing through the mist.

I know a place. And now you do too.
