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

I hope you've enjoyed the past month of all things camping, I certainly have. It's led me to find so many new wonderful resources and blogs that I probably wouldn't have come across otherwise. Aside from a big two week camping trip to British Columbia & Alberta in August, I'm hoping to get a few more weekend camping trips around Washington State on our summer calendar.

Are you planning any summer camping trips? If I still haven't convinced you to give it a try, here's a few links for inspiration and if it's still not really up your alley you could always try glamping.

Have you heard of Maptia yet? Not only do I wholeheartedly agree with their manifesto - but I'm loving the fantastic interviews going up on their blog. As part of their project to spread their manifesto around the world, we took a photo of it while we were camping on Lopez Island this past month.

What I Was Reading (& Watching)

I'm working on creating my first trip video with footage from Lopez Island, WA - so I've been watching lots of others for inspiration. Some of my favorites found via Afar; a couple's journey in South America, surfing in Bali, and a trip around the world in 60 seconds. And via Adventure Journal; climbing in Greenland

My roommate from Camp Mighty has been reflecting on her 21 days in Vietnam.

Lessons Learned from 11 Years of Travel.

Tasty things I've pinned: Lemon Lavender Frozen Yogurt, Simple Banoffee Pie, Churros

Marin County is one part of California I just can't get over - so I love this tour of Mill Valley.

Did I ever tell you how I left Christchurch just hours before that major earthquake? Dave wrote a wonderful piece about returning to his hometown after the quake.

Annie wrote a wonderful piece about the Fort Greene neighborhood of Brooklyn.

Where I Was Elsewhere On The Web

Sharing some tidbits of our wedding playlist as part of APW's new series. 

What I Was Reading

As part of a new series on Call Me Cal, Jeanetta is sharing great gluten free friendly eateries around Los Angeles.

One part of California that's still close to my heart is the North Coast.

Since I consider the foreign service to be one of my ghost lives, I love this Kuala Lumpur post in the Notes from the Field Series.

I cannot wait for this book.

Wonderfully nerdy and gorgeous gluten free cookies.

Guatape looks beautiful.

I should probably write more about this subject, but I never made the transition from the SLR world to the DSLR world - partially because I can't afford it (and no, I can't afford to "invest" in it) and partially because the bulk doesn't suit my travel lifestyle. So I'm loving this best of list of high end point and shoots.

Things I Read From Around the Web

Road trips are my favorite way to travel, don't miss this great two part post from Annie at Travelshus about Cappadocia.

I've been getting really into juicing this year and so this post from 101 Cookbooks was quite timely.

We live in an amazing world.

Last year I got to visit my family's "torre" (tower) in Basque Country, so I really enjoyed this post from Kate about visiting the land of her ancestors in Scotland.
