Another view of the Badlands. There is so much more color here than you would imagine. This area is very aptly named “yellow mounds.”

Badlands comes from the Lakota, who called it “bad land to cross.” Its beauty is stunning, but I can’t imagine traveling across the country hundreds of years ago before cars and cellphones and encountering this.

Climbing the notch trail in the Badlands. This was my favorite. I felt like a kid on the jungle gym. Make sure you go all the way and up to the left for an amazing view!
🏔
Pro Tip: watch out for loose rocks, and it’s dusty so bring water.

Does anyone think this looks like the set of a Star Wars movie? I expect stormtroopers to come around the corner with the Imperial March playing.
🏔
This is actually the Notch Trail in the Badlands which isn’t very long, about 1.5 miles but does require some actual climbing.

Doing my best Paul Bunyan impression. Well, mostly just using any excuse to sit and rest on the Black Elk Peak hike. Did I mention it was straight up?

Can you imagine making the trip across the country in a covered wagon and seeing this? Badlands is wild and raw and needs to be on everyone’s bucket list.⁣

Hiking Black Elk Peak, formerly called Harney Point. It’s the highest point in South Dakota and amazing! I felt so good about myself making it there until @tiffserbousek told me she did it in her second trimester when she was carrying twins. So rude. 😂
🏔
Ignore my crazy hair, it was was a wind tunnel up there but felt great! Could not have made it without my @ameshield backpack to carry my stuff up. Totally ready for a spa treatment...

Loving my visit to South Dakota so far. The people are so nice, the air is clean and beautiful, and there is a bakery on every corner.

Standing at the top of Black Elk Peak, formerly known as Harney Peak, the highest point in South Dakota.
🏔
The hike is no joke. It’s a steep 7.5 miles, but so worth it. The air is just different up here. Plan on 4 hours if you are in good shape... I needed a little more...

SHARK WEEK IS FINALLY HERE YOU GUYS!
🦈
🦈
🦈
This was taken in Bora Bora where I spent all day swimming peacefully with sharks and ray of all sizes. These are black tip sharks who eat small fish. I was not afraid, they weren’t anything but respectful. It was one of the coolest experiences of my life.
🦈
Sharks aren’t monsters. They don’t attack indiscriminately. Save our sharks.

“But the question is—when did they become the swimming pigs? ⁣
⁣
The answer you receive can be quite different depending on the source. ⁣⁣
Overall, the consensus on Staniel Cay, the very first moment that people really started talking about swimming pigs, can be traced back to Emily the Pig. ⁣⁣
⁣
Sometime in the early 1990s, sailors stumbled into the bar at Staniel CayYacht Club with tales of a swimming pig. This is not your typical story of the sea involving mermaids or giant monsters from the deep. ⁣⁣
⁣
Residents, tourists, and yacht club staff chuckled, and some laughed nervously—thinking perhaps that these sailors had lost their minds—as they regaled the crowd with tales of a pig paddling out to their skiffs.” - Pigs Of Paradise ⁣

This year I have found myself exploring more in the continental USA. Next up? Black Hills of South Dakota and the Badlands. Can’t wait! Drop a comment if you’ve ever been there!

This is a throwback from my trip to Bali in 2017 (yes in the Q we just post old vacation pics). ✨
More importantly in 2017, at this time everyone was happy and well and the world was open to explore. My wonderful grandma and my sweet baby Quigley both just had surgery and need all the good vibes you can send to get better. 2020 sucks, but good stuff is still waiting for us. .
