40k?! when did that happen?! since there are so many lovely new friends here, i wanted to re-introduce myself & say hello 👋🏻 whether you’re here for walking inspiration, lifestyle content, or what it’s like to live in the emerald city, i’m thankful for you and happy to share my life with you! and for anyone wondering — the camino de santiago is a thru-hike/pilgrimage walk starting in different points through france, spain, and portugal that all end in santiago de compostela. i walked 120ish miles of the french camino when i graduated high school and will be walking part of the portuguese coastal camino in september this year, so stay tuned!! #walk #walking #lifestyle #seattle #seattlelife #seattlewashington #community #friends #fyp #explore #hike #hiking #health #wellness

hey alexa, how do you say, “it’s party time,” in portuguese? just a couple months until we take on the portuguese coastal route of the camino de santiago and i couldn’t be more elated 💛🌻✨ here’s everything i’m planning on wearing for our 6 days on the trail and our 5 days in lisbon, porto, and madrid 🇵🇹🇪🇸 camino part two, let’s goooo #walking #longdistancewalking #caminodesantiago #portugal #spain #summer #thruhike #buencamino #community #backpacking

something i feel strongly about: the 75 hard i believe that discipline and consistency are both great things, but making a 2 month+ commitment to a strict set of rules would make exercise and food feel negative and anxiety-inducing rather than an act of celebration. sure, the outcome is desirable because that’s what the internet has told us… but is restriction really the answer? instead, this summer i’ll be doing the 75 joyful — where i consciously invite a minimum of 1 joyful act into everyday and log it. i think discipline and consistency will naturally come when i’m motivated to do it for myself rather than because of a “before and after” image on social media. what does this look like? dancing in your kitchen. swimming in cold water (bonus points for goggles). waking up early to listen to the birds. wearing what makes you feel confident and beautiful. sunbathing with a book. trying new recipes. inviting friends over and sharing laughs together. let me know what you think about this and what you would do to invite more joy into your life! ✨ #75hard #75soft #health #wellness #routine #joy #summer #fitness

if you’re looking for a community or new activity this summer in seattle, then come walk with us 🚶🏼‍♀️🪩 upcoming !! • july 18th — green lake • july 26th — arboretum sign up with the link to our @strava page in my bio 💌 we do anywhere from 2-4 walks per month and it’s a great way to get outside, explore new parts of the city, and meet new friends. and if you aren’t in seattle, nbd! we have weekly virtual walks every monday, too. in fact, this week’s theme is taking a picture of a bird you see while out and about and sharing it in the group 🦢 #walk #walking #community #friends #outdoors #seattle #thingstodo #summer

it’s officially patio season we’re celebrating the sunshine with @agua.de.kefir 🌞 if you’re a kombucha lover like me, then you’ll love agua de kefir. it’s made from the pads of the prickly pear cactus and it’s lighter and less tangy than kombucha… in other words, it’s the perfect thirst quencher for summer. it’s actually more suitable for hydration than high-sugar sports drinks, so you’ll definitely see me taking these off the shelves at @pccmarkets after a long walk day. #aguadekefir #aguadekefirpartner #summer #outdoors #health #wellness

hot take: the best way to explore a city is on foot 👣 so much is missed when you’re in a car! here’s my list of hidden gems i’ve found in fremont (aka the center of the universe) while out and about. which have you been to? 1. troll’s knoll p-patch 2. @urbanearthnursery 3. the fremont troll 4. the berlin wall 5. fremont dinosaurs 🦕 6. rocket ship building + @sfingiday 7. @lazycowcafe 8. @opheliasbooks 9. woodland park rose garden 10. fremont peak park 11. accidental park 12. @lighthouseroasters let me know which other neighborhoods i should report back on next! #walk #walking #longdistancewalking #explore #cities #seattle #seattlelife #health #wellness #outdoors

may or may not have walked 11 miles for this iced chai hehe i mean, how could you not when there’s so many coffee shops and bakeries to explore?? ☕️ #walking #longdistancewalking #health #wellness #community #seattle #usa #summer

i’ll never say no to a granola girl bachelorette party in the woods🌲 we ventured out to mount rainier national park area and camped off the grid for the weekend to party it up before we tie the knot in september… and by party it up, i mean play card games, swim in lakes, and cook delicious meals together over the fire. i’m convinced a little time under the trees with loved ones is pure magic for the soul ✨ #outdoors #camping #bachelorette #nature #friends #community #hiking #seattle #pnw

if you need me, i’ll be eating breakfast outdoors, constantly near (or in) a body of water, learning guitar, strolling around farmer’s markets and dancing the night away. who’s with me? happy summer solstice, friends 🌞 might be a day late, but here’s to the start of SUN !! #summer #solstice #outdoors #nature #seattle #italy #cmbyn #book

If you’re in Seattle and you’ve never been to the REI Co-op Flagship store downtown, then this is your sign to visit and take a class there! 🌲 I was invited to their “Beginner’s Camping Workshop” since I’m rather new to camping in the Pacific Northwest. I really enjoyed the hands-on experience and I’m already looking forward to putting what I learned into practice on an upcoming camping trip I have planned this summer. In addition to gear and safety, our instructor also was very knowledgeable about LNT (leave no trace) principles and led with them in mind. At the end of the class, we got to sample a couple of camping meals that we prepared on REI’s balcony using a PocketRocket and Jetboil. Join me in brushing up on your skills, or trying something new, and check out the upcoming classes at your local REI! See you outdoors! #rei #reipartner #outdoors #leavenotrace #optoutside #nature #seattle ad

a day filled with hills, caffeine, and the color green. nothing can beat summertime in the emerald city 🌲 i’m on a mission to explore new coffee shops and cafes in seattle - lmk where i need to go! #walk #longdistancewalking #urbanhikers #community #seattle #washington #summer

DID YOU KNOW that the average person spends 10 years of their life on autopilot? This essentially means that our time doesn’t feel like “our time.” This summer, @REI is encouraging us to take back control of that time and Opt Outside… And this can look anything like hiking up a mountain, kayaking down a river, or even something as simple as replacing some of your commutes with walking instead of driving. REI helps me Opt Outside by providing me with the gear I need to make those magical summer days outdoors a reality. In my opinion, there’s nothing quite like milling around REI and daydreaming about what adventures lie ahead! This is your reminder to Opt Outside this summer (and always) and to remember that there isn’t one “right” way to get outdoors!
