Adventure dog acquired. 😍🐕 . . This is Valentine, aka Val. Paul and I are already smitten. And I’m halfway to my life goal of having two dogs, so my therapist would be proud. 😁 Highly recommend @homeatlastdogrescue because this is the second sweetheart they’ve brought into my life. (Looking at you, @samson_the_dorgi!) . . #adoptadog #rescuedogsrule #rescuedogsofinstagram #rescuedisthebestbreed #dogsofinstagram #dogoftheday #adventuredog
If you need me I’ll be (mentally) here, swaying in the breeze and listening to podcasts. 🎧 Oh wow, speaking of which I have a new podcast episode today! 😉 . . I’m chatting with @takiamcclendon about books, travel, and #cityfitgirls! It’s such a good listen and I can say that even when I’m biased. 👍🏻 Check out the #linkinbio for the latest episode, as well as all the past episodes! You don’t want to miss ‘em. . . 📷 : @lazzzysundaze . . #sunshinechasers #shepodcasts #dreamersanddoers #womensupportwomen #bravingthewilderness #campinglife #sheexplores #forceofnature #travelblogger #girlgetoutside #travelsandchill #girlsvsglobe #womenwhoexplore #thetravelwomen #wearetravelgirls #womenwhocamp #sweatydirtyhappy

A Portrait of Amanda Searching for a Dog to Adopt. 🐶 . . Or a plane ticket. ✈️ . . Or both? For those of you that have adventure pups out there - how do you balance travel and a doggo? Just a lot of loving friends who love your pup too? If you don’t have a doggo, where are you going on your next trip? I don’t have any planned at the moment so obviously I’m spending my morning dreaming and scheming. 🧐 . . 📍 Land of the Chinook peoples . . #capedisappointment #wastateparks #pnwisbest #pnw #sheexplores #forceofnature #travelblogger #washingtonexplored #washingtonstate #girlgetoutside #travelsandchill #girlsvsglobe #womenwhoexplore #thetravelwomen #wearetravelgirls

Ice cream and plants pretty much sums up my home life. And lactaid. Don’t forget the lactaid. . . . #visitphilly #cityoffoodiedelphia #foodpic #eeeeeats #icecream #nationalicecreamday #whyilovephilly #phillygram #howphillyseesphilly #phillyeats #philadelphia
One of the reasons I love Instagram is that I get to learn so much about the places I explore - what to eat in a city, where to camp for great morning views, but also whose land I’m recreating on. I’ve learned so much about “public” lands through the people I follow and I want to be better. I’m inspired by @caliwolf, @hownottotravellikeabasicbitch, @twodustytravelers and @paulinadao (among others!) to do my best to acknowledge and thank who lived on this land first. From now on, I’m going to do my darnedest to do the research and include a snippet in my caption like the one you’ll see below. I’ll probably make mistakes, so if you’ve got something to teach me please know that I’m open to it. 💕 . . 📍I’ll start off with my recent adventure at Mt Rainier National Park - Mt Rainier originally had many names such as Tahoma, Tacobeh, Pooskaus, and Tacoma and is part of Puyallup Territory. . . #indigenousland #indigenouslivesmatter #nativeamericanland #ourpubliclands #sunshinechasers #washingtonstate #mountrainier #mountrainiernps #nationalparkgeek #findyourpark #sheexplores #beautifuldestinations #pnw #pnwisbest #choosemountains
Not our usual 4th of July weather/scenery, but this’ll do just fine. 💕 . . We’ve spent the last two days galavanting around Mt Rainier National Park and I couldn’t get enough! But we’re onto the city of Seattle now to shower and refuel with some coffee and beer. 👍🏻 . . #sunshinechasers #washingtonstate #mountrainier #mountrainiernps #nationalparkgeek #findyourpark #sheexplores #beautifuldestinations #pnw #pnwisbest #choosemountains
I spy with my little eye a snow-capped mountain in July. ⛰ . Yesterday I dragged Paul out for a couple of short hikes and I think (🤞🏻) he’s slowly starting to trust me that hiking is a worthy use of time. 😉 Or he could just be placating my relentless badgering. Either way, we both agree that Mt. Hood is a looker. 😍 . #pnw #pnwisbest #sheexplores #forceofnature #oregonlove #mthood #exploreoregon #sunshinechasers #choosemountains #andshesdopetoo #womenwhohike #cfgstreak
Happy Friday! Running from the beach to a wedding and then straight to the #PNW (that’s the Pacific Northwest!). ✈️ If you’ve got any hikes, campsites, breweries, or fun things to do be sure to send them my way. Paul and I are flying into Portland and galavanting our way up to/around Seattle. We’ve been talking about this trip for a LONG time and managed to not plan a single thing. 😂 Somehow this of all things does not trigger my feeling-out-of-control anxiety. Go figure! 🤷🏼‍♀️ . . . Picture courtesy of @keenanjocorr from the recent Badass Babes Backpacking trip because I’m definitely looking forward to some nature feels this week. 💕🌲 . . . #sunshinechasers #goeast #forceofnature #sheexplores #keepitwild #liveoutdoors #springitonpa #pahappysnaps #teampawild #padcnr #backpacking #outdoorlife #womenwhowander #fridaymood
