Reading from July 2013

Taken in Discovery Park on one of the many hot summer days we've had here in Seattle. 

What I Was Reading & Watching

A family of three journeys from California to Argentina in a van. Awesome.

Feeling inspired by Ingunn's honest tale of climbing Mt. Adams.

YES to everything in this post on thirty-something travelers. And yet another reason why Brenna is one of my absolute favorite travel bloggers/writers.

Exploring Cornwall has been high on my travel to-do list for some time now - and what better way than with a road trip!

What's on my desktop right now? This rebeltastic wallpaper from Striped Cat Studio. 

Wanderlust inspiring videos of Bolivia, Argentina, Chile, and Patagonia. This Bolivia and Patagonia ones in particular get to me.

A transcript of Tess Vigeland's talk at WDS - now even more relevant to my life.

You've heard it from me before, New Zealand is incredibly gluten free friendly.

Photography tips for bad weather.

I'm loving the launch of the Mobile & Making Shop! Lots of travel inspired goodies from the fantastic Melanie (who just happened to be my WDS roommate!)

Next time I'm in Glacier National Park, Bowman Lake is on the list.

Where I Was Elsewhere On the Web & In Print

Are you flying Icelandic Air this summer? If so, flip to page 44 of the inflight magazine and you'll find a short little interview about our 20 hour adventure there along with some of my photos!

Other good news? I'm crossing another item of my life list which was a goal for this year actually - I'm now a contributor over at My Cooking Spot and my very first post debuted this month! Head on over for my recipe for two little rustic peach & honey pies I made with local goodness from the Phinney Farmers Market.
