Still dreaming about the colors of Santa Fe.
Europe 2018 Go Pro Video
It’s almost officially Fall, and that means I’m officially really behind on finishing up our GoPro video from our Europe trip last summer. But this week I finally had the time and it’s done! I love how casual these videos always seem in comparison to the photos, I hope you enjoy seeing it from our perspective!

Chile GoPro Video
I finally finished our GoPro video from Chile! I love having another way to remember our trip, especially all the silly moments you could only capture on video. Enjoy!
Italy GoPro Video!
It's done! I have been working on creating a GoPro video from Sophie and I's Italy trip for a few weeks, and it is finally finished! I love how it really captures what we saw from our perspective, and is a little less polished and formal than all the photos. Enjoy!
Dominican Republic Trip
Last week I was lucky enough to jet off to the Dominican Republic to see two friends from college get married! We stayed at the Hard Rock Punta Cana and couldn't have asked for more beautiful weather.
This trip was a rare exception where I didn't take too many pictures, but instead relaxed and enjoyed the beach, pool and a snorkel trip. But I did get a chance to test out my GoPro and made a super informal video with my friends. I am still getting the hang of filming without feeling awkward, but I am planning on making a few videos when I head to Italy in a few weeks. I'm really happy I tested it out beforehand, I know the video will be fun way to remember the trip. I hope you all are off somewhere sunny this summer!
Portland, Oregon
Hello from Portland! I spur of the moment bought a plane ticket to join my family on their Spring Break trip. My first trip to the city has been wonderful, here is a recap from some of my favorite places we visited over a long weekend:
CARIOCA BOWLS — I've been wanting to try one of these bowls forever, and it definitely lived up to the hype. So delicious! I would love to make one at home.
Drive to MOUNT HOOD — Beautiful views & lots of snow!)
Dinner at HUBERS CAFE with family friends
VooDoo DOUGHNUTS — Also worth visiting, quirky and delicious.
The PORTLAND JAPANESE GARDEN — Stunning! We got very lucky with our weather, and I can imagine it would be even more spectacular when everything is in full bloom.
The PITTOCK MANSION — Great view of the city.
DIVISION ST. FOOD TRUCKS // MENAGERIE SHOP — There are so many different food truck locations in the city it was hard to decide where to sop, but the ones at Division St. were wonderful. I tried Smakken Waffles. Lots of options, and a very cute seating area in the middle. Also visit Menagerie, it's a lovely little shop.
Drivee to CANNON BEACH — One of my favorite parts of the trip. You could easily spend more time in the park around the beach.
MULTNOMAH FALLS — Breathtaking waterfall, only about 30 minutes from the city.
PAADEE — Lunch stop for some Thai Food
ARTEMISIA COLLAGE WITH NATURE — Lovely store filled with plants and terrariums.
INK & PEAT — Home and lifestyle shop we stopped by.
WITCHES CASTLE — Forest Park is beautiful for hiking.
For our last meal we enjoyed French food at PETITE PROVENCE and we couldn't help but brave the one for SALT & STRAW for dessert. Worth it! (I tried the Salted Caramel Cupcake, Honey Lavender, Lemon Amaretto Sour Sherbet & Strawberry Honey Balsamic with Black Pepper. I choose the last two in a waffle cone!)
