With so many terrifying images being passed around on here of how Kauai is looking after the horrible storm, I thought I'd post a pretty one. Although the overcast/rainy weather has continued here all week, last night we were blessed with the most incredible sky for a few moments right after the sun touched the horizon.... For all of those who were outside and got to take this in, maybe you can relate when I tell you I could not stop smiling. I don't think I've got this excited about a sunset in quite sometime. Kauai will be okay, it's going to take a while and everybody's help but i think the explosion of beautiful colors in last nights sky gave us reassurance that restoration is coming!⠀ ⠀ Thanks to all those who have reached out from the mainland, asking how they can help. If you wondering how you can help, message me and I will connect you to the right people.⠀ ⠀ Until otherwise noted, 100% of all the profits from all my print and book sales will go towards funding flood relief. There's also a zillion other ways to get involved. Just ask!⠀ ⠀ Happy Aloha Friday!!⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ ⠀ #landscape_lovers #landscape_captures #photography #sunset #sunsetporn⠀ #havealohawilltravel ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #alohaoutdoors #hawaiiunchained #hawaiirepublic #nakedhawaii #ragehawaii #hik3beasthawaii #havealohawilltravel #hawaiitag #hawaiishoots #hawaiiinstagram #hawaii #kauai #intothewild⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #bestplacestogo⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #letsgosomewhere⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #welltravelled ⠀ #thedailyadventurer⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #ourplanetdaily⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #thegreatoutdoors⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #roamtheplanet⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #departedoutdoors #alohaserveddaily #aloha #hawaiiunchained (at Ha Coffee Bar)

these last few weeks exploring the south island of new zealand with @offtrackrentals has been a wild one. Crazy to think it's already come to an end! This is a country worth coming back to over and over again. There's WAY TOO much to adventure here to only spend 3 weeks! I'm excited to share with you what me and the crew have been up to over here though so stay tuned;-) (at Auckland International Airport)

well, its february already and I'm realizing if i want to reach my goal of sharing 150 photos on here in 2018 i better kick it up a notch lol. So, here's another one from our adventure in the Eureka Dunes a couple weeks ago:-) ⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #intothewild⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #tinypeopleinbigplaces⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #bestplacestogo⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #inspiredbynature ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #california ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #welltravelled⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #thedailyadventurer⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #besttravelcamp_insta⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #backpackingculture⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #lifeofadventure⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #nightphotography ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #hikingculture⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #optoutside⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #adventurepic⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #thegreatoutdoors⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #wildernessculture⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #travelawesome⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #discovernature⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #roamtheplanet⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #welivetoexplore⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #exploretocreate⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #bpmag⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #peoplestaringatstuff⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #departedoutdoors⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #hikinglifestyle⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #landscapecaptures⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #liveoutdoors⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #52weeksofnature ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #deathvalley ⠀⠀⠀ #findyourpark (at Death Valley National Park)

hello instagram friends! We are looking for 1 more person to join us in New Zealand this spring for a 3 week adventure:-) If you are interested AND AVAILABLE 3/22- 4/12 please email me. Please don't leave me a note on here, I'm very bad at posting on social media and even worse at responding to social media lol. Sorry! We will be doing the rooftop tent thing so if you are cool with not taking very many showers, hiking, camping- it should be a good time:-)⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #intothewild⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #tinypeopleinbigplaces⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #bestplacestogo⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #inspiredbynature ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #icelandacademy ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #welltravelled⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #thedailyadventurer⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #besttravelcamp_insta⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #backpackingculture⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #lifeofadventure⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #dametraveler ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #hikingculture⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #optoutside⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #adventurepic⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #thegreatoutdoors⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #wildernessculture⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #travelawesome⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #discovernature⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #roamtheplanet⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #welivetoexplore⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #exploretocreate⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #bpmag⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #peoplestaringatstuff⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #departedoutdoors⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #hikinglifestyle⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #landscapecaptures⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #liveoutdoors⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #icelandair ⠀⠀ #jesussaves ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #iceland⠀ (at Iceland)

One of the goals while camping in Iceland is to keep your stuff dry because for some reason in that country, once something gets wet then it stays wet for a very very long time. Well, for this pic,that goal was not kept very well cause I got soaked. It took several hours of blowing the car heater and the gas station hand dryers into my soaking boots to get them dry again lol⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #intothewild⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #tinypeopleinbigplaces⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #bestplacestogo⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #inspiredbynature ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #icelandacademy ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #welltravelled⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #thedailyadventurer⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #besttravelcamp_insta⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #backpackingculture⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #lifeofadventure⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #dametraveler ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #hikingculture⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #optoutside⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #adventurepic⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #thegreatoutdoors⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #wildernessculture⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #travelawesome⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #discovernature⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #roamtheplanet⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #welivetoexplore⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #exploretocreate⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #bpmag⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #peoplestaringatstuff⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #departedoutdoors⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #hikinglifestyle⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #landscapecaptures⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #liveoutdoors⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #icelandair ⠀ #jesussaves ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #iceland

thanks for all the birthday wishes. 27 was quite a year. I experienced a lot. By the end of it I can say, I have quite a lot to be thankful for. . . . .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #intothewild⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #tinypeopleinbigplaces⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #bestplacestogo⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #inspiredbynature ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #california ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #welltravelled⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #thedailyadventurer⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #besttravelcamp_insta⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #backpackingculture⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #lifeofadventure⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #nightphotography ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #hikingculture⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #optoutside⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #adventurepic⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #thegreatoutdoors⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #wildernessculture⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #travelawesome⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #discovernature⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #roamtheplanet⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #welivetoexplore⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #exploretocreate⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #bpmag⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #peoplestaringatstuff⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #departedoutdoors⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #hikinglifestyle⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #landscapecaptures⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #liveoutdoors⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #52weeksofnature ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #deathvalley ⠀⠀ #findyourpark (at Death Valley National Park)

This past week I got to cruise over to the mainland for a little bit. Lucas and I checked out Death Valley for a few days and our last morning, I made this self portrait. Standing up there looking out over the quiet beauty, while my camera was firing behind me, I couldn't get over how lucky I am. Life is an incredible gift. It's not something we deserve and it's not something anybody owes us. ⠀ ⠀ The morning I made this photo and was thinking about those things was the same morning Hawaii received that crazy text message about the missle coming. I wonder if those same thoughts would have ran through my mind if I had been there instead, at home- in that moment, receiving that message instead of standing on top of a giant dune in the middle of the high sierra desert. ⠀ I hope so.⠀ ⠀ Thanks @hippytree for featuring my photography in Hermosa Beach last week. What a great excuse to come over and do some exploration and see some family. California has redeemed itself;-) ⠀ ⠀ ⠀.⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ ..⠀ ⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #intothewild⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #tinypeopleinbigplaces⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #bestplacestogo⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #inspiredbynature ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #california ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #welltravelled⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #thedailyadventurer⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #besttravelcamp_insta⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #backpackingculture⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #lifeofadventure⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #dametraveler ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #hikingculture⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #optoutside⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #adventurepic⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #thegreatoutdoors⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #wildernessculture⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #travelawesome⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #discovernature⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #roamtheplanet⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #welivetoexplore⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #exploretocreate⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #bpmag⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #peoplestaringatstuff⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #departedoutdoors⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #hikinglifestyle⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #landscapecaptures⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #liveoutdoors⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #52weeksofnature ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #deathvalley ⠀ #findyourpark (at Death Valley National Park)

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! I have several goals and ambitions for the new year. I want to share more of these moments both with people like this and people like you! I didn't do such a great job sharing my photos on social medias last year. This year my goal is to share 150 new images with you on here! Get ready, I have a lot of stuff from Alaska, Iceland, Maui and here on Kauai to show ya still from last year, plus all the places 2018 will bring!!!

PAID IN FULL! A few days ago I went out on a limb and asked you all to help me fund a piece of gear that I would really love to have. I wasn't sure what sort of response this would get. To "like" a photo on social media is one thing but to invest into the photographer who took it...? I wasn't sure if people would actually do that.... however, I told myself if I could somehow raise at least $2000, I'd come up with a way to make this purchase work so I'd have it in time for my trip to Iceland in October (even if it meant not eating much or driving anywhere until then! Lol) Yesterday afternoon I was just $130 from reaching that $2000 mark I had set for purchasing the camera. Then, before I went to bed last night I logged on and Lucas and I counted the final funding amount together. It totaled $3245! I couldn't believe it! I had butterflies and couldn't stop smiling like the rest of the night! Then in the morning, I woke up to a message saying, "hey girl, just saw your post! Dropped $50 to your PayPal for the camera. Hope it's not to late!" I did the math and Had to recount EVERYTHING twice because the final total gave me goosebumps! In 4 days, with the kindness and generosity of everybody who contributed, the funding for this camera was paid in full. Right down to the very dollar: $3295! So today for the first time ever, I get to PREORDER a piece of gear. Not wait till it gets dated and goes on sale. For the first time ever, I get to own the camera of my dreams. Not the one I settled for because it was the best I could afford. THANK YOU! Your generosity has been such a source of encouragement and motivation! I am so stoked to share what I get to create with this camera:-) (at Lihue, Hawaii)
