Adventure

So here’s a pro tip for ya late risers...find some friends, grab some food and a tent, and camp out!! It’s so much easier when you can just roll out to views like this! And you can always take a nap! 😉

One of the most surprising trips I took last year was in Ohio. Being in the middle of the US and far from the ocean....we’ll, sucks! So when we took a 3 hour trip north to Lake Erie, I was pleasantly surprised at the fresh water ocean in my back yard. It literally felt like when I lived in Florida and would take day trips to the coast!! And bonus, there’s no sharks! This turned out to be one of the most memorable parts I’ve found in Ohio. I still think the west is best, but there are quite a few amazing secret spots in the shirt pocket state that surprise me every week. So no excuses, get out there peeps!!

All over Uganda, were these man made forest with bamboo type trees! All the angles and paths made for a dream location to photograph! 🤤 The sound of the wind blowing through the trees with the swaying trees waving back at you created such a surreal feeling topped only by the glowing sunset. I still can’t believe I was blessed to spend over 10 days in this beautiful country. A piece of my heart remains in Uganda. Can’t wait to go back!!

How blessed am I to have a family that loves to explore together!! I love to see how my kids light up as soon as we step into any trail! It’s not always about the grand views with my kids, they love pointing out all the little details that most people pass by. I love seeing the world through their eyes!! #myrohan #themundlife (at Hocking Hills State Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvVM1dQACI5/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ljsmhgf5dtyi

Watching the sunset in Uganda on the last day, I couldn’t have asked for a better send off than fire in the sky!! It may have been the end of this trip, but it also marks the beginning of a new era in my life!!

Here’s to saultry summer days to come!

I often wonder where things lead to, what’s just around the next corner.

Tomorrow’s weather is gonna be soooo amazing!! 65 degrees!! If that doesn’t get you in the mood for summer and all the warm late nights in the water, camping, s’mores....I don’t know what will!! 😂 I’m making summer plans already, anyone else?

The power of this waterfall was so incredible!! Standing 100ft away, you couldn’t hear anything but the sound of the water crashing and could feel the wind caused by it! It’s amazing how much a river can change the atmosphere!

Taking full advantage of this warm weather while we can!! Though not the prettiest of days, I’ll take 50 and grey over 10 and brown!! Thanks @rohanclothing for the digs!! Perfect fit for this spring like weather!!

Looking forward to the dog days of summer! Anyone else done with this cold? . . . . #jeep #travel #wanderers #travellust #travellog #travellifestyle #travelingram #discoverohio #travelingpost #lakeerie #ohioexplored #exploremoreoutdoors #ohiogram #optoutside #planetphoto #neckykayak  #ohio #explorertocreate #roamohio #myohioadventure #discoverearth #earthfocus #photooftheday #scenic #lakeerieliving #themundlife #mkexplorer #hot_shotz #instagoodmyphoto #dreamingofsummer (at Conneaut, Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuwUjMFADDB/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=12mki7nsnp4mn

“Life has been hard.” A statement that has been a regular in my vocabulary for way too long. It hasn’t been easy that’s for sure! But I’m learning to recognize what that “pain” actually is. The growing pains you felt as a kid hurt to go through, but look how much taller you are now! When you see the struggles as 2 steps back and not just a repositioning to jump 10 steps forward, you will never appreciate and acknowledge the distance you’ve actually come. To make room for the new you, a shift has to happen. Things need to change, parts need to align and sometimes pain occurs because of it. Seeing all this as a repositioning to jump, gives you excitement and purpose instead of defeat and unworthiness. I hope this makes sense, if not, HMU . . . . #favor #socaltravel #californiadesert #rsa_outdoors #visualcollective #beautifulviews #getoutthere #modernoutdoors #staywild #epic_captures #soft_vision #lensbible #nationalparks #tourtheplanet #adventureculture #sonyalpha #earthofficial #visualsofearth #welltraveled #backpacking #roadtrip #optoutside #hike #instagood #nationalparkstraveler #layersonlayers #myrohan #travel #histiming #california (at Joshua Tree National Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/Butv-JBAvsN/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1gxn92y7scrn5

It’s finally March!!! The milky way returns this month, temps begin to rise, and 2-4 inches of snow is coming this Sunday......sounds like Ohio. 😝 Which is why I’m bringing you the great PNW. Doesn’t this just scream MOVE HERE?! . . . . (at The PNW) https://www.instagram.com/p/BueuQ5Gg8p7/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=pmj0lk612gts

One of the most asked questions I’ve gotten so far about my trip to Uganda is what are the people like. I think that question is representative of how curious we humans are. Always looking for answers to things unknown. That inquisitiveness is a big part of the process of discovering the answer we all know in our hearts, but just never ask. . . . . #traveluganda #travelafrica #jinjauganda #safariphotography #visituganda #africanamazing #ig_africa #thepearlofafrica #uganda #travelling #missiontrip #newera #igtraveller #safariphotography #natgeowild #natgeotraveller #worldfireusa #worldchanger #equator #worldtravels #tourism #mytravelgram #instapassport #droneworld #traveltheworld #exploremore #globetrotter #instatraveling #explorer #djispark (at Bugembe) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuZSalzA7-b/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=aeki2mi3o2i3
