Sometimes I look forward to trips because I've never been to a place. Sometimes it's because I'm going with friends or family and I just know it'll be great. Sometimes Cassie and I have booked a trip so far in advance that I can't believe it's finally here. But this trip is different. On fairly short notice, my dad is taking me and my brothers to Alaska to celebrate his retirement. As some ...
Essential Things to Do in Santa Cruz (In Only 5 Hours)
What are some fun things to do in Santa Cruz if you have just a few hours to spare? When our friend and travel blogger, Kimi told us she would be in San Francisco for the first time, I suggested we plan a trip down to Santa Cruz. Turns out I was only free on one of her last days in town and she had to be back to SF for dinner, so we had to make it a quick trip. But we had a lot of fun and I ...
My Summer of Supporting Public Parks
I spent some time this morning planning for a camping trip we’re taking at the end of this month. We are heading up to far-northern California to spend a few days in the Humboldt Redwoods State Park.

Researchers still do not know how the native people were able to move these giant figures, some weighing more than 80 tons. It ...

You may have seen the story about the mysteries of Easter Island on the cover of the July 2012 issue of National Geographic. Since the Nat Geo issue came out, I’ve seen countless other media reports on the island, including this one on Yahoo News, and ...
The beach at Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve, Mexico
I've had beaches on the brain today. It's warm out, and my sister is on road trip up the coast of Southern California sending me photos of all of the beaches she's going to. Fortunately we are going to meet up this weekend, down near Pismo Beach, CA for a few days. I'm desperately hoping we get good weather! In the meantime I thought I'd share a photo from one of the nicest beaches I've been ...
