On the island of Maui, sits the dormant volcano Haleakala, which means, “house of the sun.” According to legend, the demigod Maui imprisoned the sun here by standing on the volcano to create the crater.

Every winter, Humpback whales migrate to the warm waters of the Hawaiian Islands to nurse their calves. The island of Maui is particularly special this time of year because the shallow waters surrounding the island serve as a “nursery” of sorts for the baby humpbacks. Because of the high concentration of whales (and their proximity to shore), you can sometimes hear the males speaking to each other while snorkeling.

A chilly winter evening spent enjoying the sun-drenched, rolling hills outside of Salt Lake City, Utah and lukewarm water of the Meadow Hot Springs.

This winter road trip to the Bonneville Salt Flats near Salt Lake City, Utah was filled with baby blue skies and, of course, Maggie Rogers.

Come with me on one of Maui's most popular adventures: the Road to Hana. In this blog post, we are exploring everything from the magical Twin Falls to Wai’ānapanapa State Park (and a lot of incredible stops in-between). Let's go!

Oahu is surrounded by incredible snorkeling, freediving, and surfing. On this particular morning, we explored the far northwest side of the island. Dolphins, honu, and porcupine fish are just some of the incredible wildlife you can catch sight of off this quiet, sandy beach.

In this blog post, I dive into my experience hiking the famous Spanish pilgrimage, the Camino de Santiago. I spent over a month hiking the Camino del Norte, Camino Primitivo, and Camino Finisterre and this blog post includes journal entries from the trail, as well as packing tips and advice for your future Camino!
