I'm an adventurous introvert from Vancouver, Washington who lives on sleep + "me time." I'm a lover of lifting weights, dinosaurs, real talk and traveling with my husband. I am here to help you move better, lift more, bust the myths of the fitness industry, and inspire you to love the process.
We must start off saying that Slovenia is the most underrated country we have visited thus far. It has the greenest hillsides you’ve ever seen with adorable french chalets style homes scattered about in small clusters. And we mustn’t forger the back drop of alpine mountain ranges. It is a quaint and naturally beautiful country […]
The only M.O. in Kotor was to hike to the fortress wall. Which worked out nicely for us as the weather on our first day there was thunder, wind and rain. Which I personally loved due to our amazing view of the bay. Our airbnb was another win in Kotor. I took a time-lapse of […]
Let’s be real. People only go to Dubrovnik to see the city also known as Kings Landing from Game of Thrones…No? Just me? Because this is 100% my purpose for walking the wall of the old town. And in case you didn’t know, the old town of Dubrovnik is in fact Kings Landing from Game […]
Drive from Bologna to Split Based on our two days in Split, we determined we would live here. The country of Croatia is beautiful and like no other terrain we’d see before. On our drive from Bologna to Split, we drove through a large agricultural area. There were little road-side stands where you could purchase […]
From Cinque Terre, Italy the plan was to drive to Bologna. With Pisa and Florence so close, it just seemed ridiculous to not make an appearance on the way. We do not regret this decision. Italy has so much to offer in the way of history and well preserved monuments. Both Pisa and Florence were […]
Cinque Terre was another bucket list location for me. The google images got me good. It’s made up of five colorful, unique villages on the Italian Rivera. We stayed in Vernazza, but you can take a train from village to village each day and can also hike between them. THIS was my main goal in […]
Oh Santorini, how I wanted to love you so. I should probably preface this by saying that I was the sickest I have been in YEARS while in Greece. And to make it worse, you can only get natural meds here so no NyQuil for us. Nate was also sick. We didn’t sleep through a […]
Can we just take a moment and praise Rome for all that it is? I knew very little + had no expectation when we arrived in Rome. Nate and I planned a stopover last minute because it was literally cheaper to have a stopover in Rome on our way to Santorini Greece from Rio than […]
Today we cover our time in Europe, even beyond the road trip. I want you to understand our WHOLE European trip, so that means you get the entire big picture perspective. Nate and I knew we wanted to drive through Europe as opposed to taking trains or flying. We researched and researched, tried to look […]
