Counting down the days till swimming in alpine lakes and rivers is part of the daily routine. On this particular fall afternoon in Slovenia, we had high hopes the rain would clear and we’d get to enjoy a swim here. The weather never let up, but we made the most of it and watched the boys jump in over and over. I’ll definitely be back here, maybe during the summer months though...
The hike to get to this place began at that tiny village in the distance on the left of the frame. Guess how long it took to hike from there to the edge of this island and back? About 7 hours total. And on the right side of this photo, is a far away view of the second photo in this set (swipe to see). I love trying to put things into perspective from travels just through images, but it’d be even more epic if you just joined on our next trip here! 3 spots left for our Faroe Islands Workshop, click the link in my bio to find out more ✨ @momenttravel @chrisroams
When a dream you’ve been dreaming of for years finally comes true, and you get to see Yosemite covered in a huge blanket of fresh snow, you forget that it’s below 20 degrees and you’re actually freezing. I’d stand out here for hours just soaking this view in.
This is still the most epic view I’ve ever woken up to
Remember when you dreamed of the life you currently have? Maybe you dreamed of traveling the world, dreamed of having roots, a family, moving someplace new, achieving something you only could on your own. It’s easy for me to forget that, a few years ago, I hadn’t ever left the US and all I wanted to do was travel the world. I’m the type of person who hits the ground running before my shoes are completely tied, before my hair is pulled back, because I’m so excited. I figure out the small things along the way. I’ve always appreciated this mentality because I don’t let logistics interfere with dreams, and I think that’s something that sometimes holds people back. But, with this mentality, I’m moving too quick to look back and actually see the dreams that came true, instead I’m still so focused on what is next. Lately, I’ve been pausing and appreciating this beautiful life that God’s blessed me with, appreciating that hard work really pays off, and recognizing that it’s okay to pause from the race for a few moments to do just that, appreciate.
Posting from inside this adorable a-frame after a slow morning waking up, taking the pup out for a walk, and now getting some work done in the warmth of the cozy living room. Whenever we stay here, I realize more and more that an a-frame in the woods would be a complete dream home... hope to live somewhere like this one day 😍
After only a few minutes of kayaking around this bergy bit (what “icebergs” smaller than 16 ft tall are called), a huge piece of it fell off and floated down the river. Alaska, this wild, wild place.
So insanely stoked to get back to this place this year and explore all of these beautiful hikes during a new season, all while teaching you guys everything we know about these little islands, photography, and business! Only 5 spots left for our Faroe workshop with @momenttravel, check the link in my bio for more information ✨
