A little love letter to the places that make us fe A little love letter to the places that make us feel small in the very best way. 🏔️🌲

National Park Week is the perfect excuse to look back at some of the wild places we’ve been lucky enough to explore—and dream about where we’ll go next.

I’d be lying if I said my soul wasn’t craving a fo I’d be lying if I said my soul wasn’t craving a foreign place. ✈️🌎

A place where I don’t speak the language, everything feels unfamiliar, and every day is a new adventure.

Don’t get me wrong, I love the life we’ve @kapenamorgan built at home… but every once in a while I get that feeling.

The one where I’m ready to pack a bag, book a one-way ticket, and disappear into a foreign land for a couple months.

The travel itch is getting REAL. 

The real question is...where should we go next?

If you’re looking for one hike near Bend that deli If you’re looking for one hike near Bend that delivers huge views without an all-day commitment, make it Tumalo Mountain. ⛰️
