No, I won’t be travelling for awhile... so I’ll throw it back to Ireland 🇮🇪 . Weren’t we so dang lucky with the weather at the Cliffs of Moher?! 😍 . It’ll likely be awhile until I’m back in Europe, but every time I go, it feels like coming home 💚 . Wondering why I’m not planning any international adventures for awhile? 🌏 . I’m lucky to have an awesome job as an editor and writer for @exploremagazine 📚 . Despite what it might look like, this full-time gig comes with more office time than travel 🧳 . But that’s okay 👌 I still get to explore #beautifulBC 🌲 . I’ve been blessed to explore over 35 different countries – and some of them on press trips ✈️ . I love the life I get to lead 💕 . PS. I’m writing about the Highlights of Ireland 🍀 for @wearearchive 📖 Make sure you subscribe to this print-only publication & support local magazines 🙏

Reading about an ocean-based holiday I took last summer, while sitting on the beach next to the ocean where I live 💦 . Travel is subjective. It’s an attitude. It’s a willingness, a readiness to look at your backyard with the eyes of a foreigner 🌎 . Where can you travel to today? 😁

🚨 SNEAK PEEK 👀 One of the really cool things I do for @exploremagazine is make videos from my adventures ⛰ . I’m still learning & having a blast revamping the YouTube channel (which you should follow for a new adventure video every Wednesday!) 📽 . These shots are from our epic hiking day in #YosemiteNationalPark 🏞, our time in #MammothLakes & adventures in #NorthLakeTahoe 💦 They didn’t make the cut for the final vid, but I wanted to share them anyways 😁 . Enjoy the views 😎 & tunes (Summer Wild by Markvard) 🎶 . PS. The full vlog will be published next Wednesday! 👊🏼

THANK YOU to everyone who’s sent me a message congratulating me on finishing this 60K-word manuscript ❤️ I received so much more love and support than I was ever expecting 😭 . I want to share the first few words of my manuscript with you. (I also really DON’T want to share them, because they’re so personal and what if you hate them and I look back and realize this whole thing is stupid and sucks and I should’ve switched into accounting when I had the chance? But I guess the point of getting it published is for people to read it 🙈) . I hope you like it. Or hate it. I hope you read it. I hope you continue messaging me support and encouragement. When I feel discouraged, embarrassed or terrified of being so vulnerable, knowing I have incredible people standing behind me is what propels me forward 💕 . . . . . #author #manuscript #bindersfullofwomen #memoir #writing #firstpages #prologue #nonfictionbooks #travelwriting #debutbook #iwroteathing #backbonebook #backbonememoir #writersofinstagram #writerscommunity #writersonig

L e t t i n g G o 💫 . I used to hate wearing anything that shows off my back, because it also reveals my scars. . Six little incisions from my first spinal surgery and one long keloid snake from when the metal holding me together was removed lace my back like a permanent corset. . But now, I’m proud of my scars. They tell a story. They tell my story. They prove everything I’ve been through, and survived ✨
