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.
BANFF NATIONAL PARK IN SEPTEMBER. Banff lives up to the hype. And you should go there. We decided to finally cross Banff off the Bucket List back in September of 2019 when I had a conference in Victoria BC. You can read about our two week road trip here. This is not a guide to […]
CANADA ROAD TRIP FROM OUR HOME TOWN. Nate and I have wanted to visit Canada for a while now. For us it’s one of those “we can do it anytime” locations, since we live five hours south of Vancouver, B.C.. But when I booked a continuing education conference in Victoria B.C., it was the opportune […]
U.S. NATIONAL PARKS ARE THE BEST. Yellowstone and Glacier are amongst Nathanael and my favorite National Parks. We’ve now made it a point to road trip to both of these twice, so I figured it was about time that I whip up a post for you. If this post sounds…a bit negative, it’s because I […]
FRÉ Skincare is a company who I have been truly honored to partner with and represent over the past 2-3 years. Just for some background – FRÉ Skincare is a female-forward company owned by two men, Mickael and Michael. You can read more about their background and specific mission here. And more about how FRÉ gives […]
Nate and I love a good road trip. This was solidified when we reflected on our 2018-2019 travels and discovered that most of our favorite moments and scenes came from road trips. We simply love the freedom that comes with driving and choosing your own itinerary, both in advance and on the go. So, when […]
If you’re planning a trip to Portugal, I hope it includes Porto. Porto is an old port town in northern Portugal. The city itself is beautiful to look at, it has mouth watering food options, and the people are welcoming. What’s not to like? I’d suggest staying near the city center if feasible. You can […]
TRAVEL GUIDE + PHOTO DIARY OF LISBON. While I expected to love Porto, Lisbon stole my heart. It was quainter, and had a warmer, more welcoming feel than I thought it would. I hope you can tell from the photos how charming it is for being considered a large city. We had three full days […]
We didn’t even hear about Angkor Wat until we were in Thailand at an elephant sanctuary. One of our group members had been recently and was comparing it to Machu Picchu. Not that they were same, but that Angkor Wat was amazing in a different way. Knowing how much we loved Machu Picchu, we started […]
WE TOOK SEVERAL DAY TRIPS FROM HOI AN. Hoi An is a perfect central hub for exploring the surrounding areas. And you know we like a road trip. You’ve got mountains, temples, the golden bridge, ancient sanctuaries and more. That about covers the locations in today’s post. It was so hot the day we went […]
I WOULD GLADLY LIVE IN HOI AN AGAIN. It’s the perfect little city for vacation goers or travelers. You’ve got the beach (which was way nicer than I expected), surrounding mountains, neighboring city – Danang, and the adorable old town of Hoi An. After much research, Nate and I knew we had little interest in […]
