Thoughts on life, the outdoors and everything else…
Choosing Solitude
Choosing solitude isn't about giving up on love or connection. It's about confronting uncomfortable truths, acknowledging the ways I've hurt and been hurt, and recognizing that good intentions don't always mean healthy actions. For now, I'm choosing to reflect, grow, and better understand myself before inviting someone else into my life.
Day Six: Garden of the Gods, Manitou Springs and Pikes Peak
My last full day in Colorado took me to the Garden of the Gods and up above the clouds to Pike’s Peak, the mountain that inspired the song “America the Beautiful”.
Day Five: Red Rocks, Evergreen and Echo Lake
With concert plans cancelled, I decided to still make my way out to Red Rocks to see the venue and learn about the history of the world’s greatest outdoor music venue. Afterwards, a trip to the town of Evergreen and a snowy walk near Mount Blue Sky.
Day Four: Rocky Mountain National Park
A reflective day in one of America’s most beloved national parks - I took time to appreciate the landscape and reflect on the transformation from fall to winter.
Day Three: DENVER
The museum of art, an exploration of Colorado’s history and an unforgettable trip to Casa Bonita. Day three was a cultural experience!
Day Two: Denver
Wandering around Denver, a visit to the Museum of Nature & Science and an evening with my favorite country artist. Day Two was good to me.
Day One : Denver
Day one wasn't how I planned it to be, but a surprise run-in led to a very memorable day in the Mile High City.
Colorado 2026
A week in Colorado, a historic hostel with a questionable past, a whole lot of mountains, and two concerts I’m ridiculously excited about. This trip is definitely going to be fun, but I have a feeling it’s going to mean a little more to me than that.
Life Update - Still Here!
Since Nepal, I’ve been focused on recovery, finding peace in everyday life, and exploring what spirituality and community mean to me. Joining the Urban Ashram in Orlando has been part of that shift, while Colorado gives me a new adventure to look forward to this fall.
How Do I Return to Life As Usual?
I know it has been awhile since I last posted an update… after things went sideways, I spent some time recovering and I tried to focus more on enjoying the remaining time on my trip instead of updating my site - and I’m happy with that decision. I was truly living in the moment and incredibly grateful for my health.
