Travel Makes You Richer.

We added three hours of driving time to catch this sunset last night. Totally worth it. (at Cannon Beach, Oregon)

Before leaving, Emily asked if there was anything I wanted to do while we were in Portland. I said I wanted to go to that one bridge. Who knew there was more than one! (at St John's Bridge, Portland, Oregon)

Watched 18 million bats emerge from a cave tonight. A Texas evening well spent. (at Bracken Cave)

This video has been (unintentionally) sitting in my drafts for nearly five months now. The little  space I have on the world wide web has been on the backburner for quite some time. Part of it is due to those everyday things (work, building friendships, soul searching, etc.) taking up my time and attention, but I think it's also more than that. Maybe what this space used to provide for me isn't exaclty what I need anymore. Maybe instead of focusing on writing my dreams, I'm living them. I don't know where Traveling Makes You Richer will go, but I will remain forever grateful of what it has provided me: a place to dream, reflect and recognizing that I'm truly living.

So here we are, a few months late, with a video of my time with three of my favorite people: my mom, dad and sister, in two of the most stunning places: Yellowstone National Park and Grand Tetons National Park. The greatest thing I took away from this trip: family time is the best time.

Enjoy.

After over a month of weekends on the go, I'm thankful for a Sunday morning to myself - typing a long overdue letter to a cherished friend. #letters #vsco (at Sugar Bakeshop and Coffee House)

Thankful for a weekend spent in the beautiful city of Seattle. While its food, sights and even weather were remarkable, as is nearly always true, it was the people who made this weekend one for the books. #seattle (at Seattle, Washington)

Hi, Mom! (This one is for you, @djn3) #seattle (at Kerry Park)
