Nowadays, most of us are familiar with the idea that Epsom salt baths and hot tubs can be beneficial to us in many ways. Other than just feeling fantastic. But what about mineral springs? Not too long ago, I took a road-trip with my friend Austin to Telluride, CO, where I got to experience my first hot spring! It was a neat experience (aside from the deer fly attack), and brought me to pose the question, how do hot springs benefit…
Travel alone. Find places that baffle your mind and expand your soul. For this class I went on a journey to the top of Long Canyon, by the recommendation of a friend (thanks Michelle!). This trip allowed me to let go of some expectations I had been holding on to. What I had planned to be a trip with a friend, ended up as a lone journey (still with Ocoee of course) and being very much what I needed. I…
Wonderous. Absolute Testament. Encapturing reacting. I’m drawn to your flow, The way you move, How you react So effortlessly, Shaping everything in your path. You never resist, Yet always persist. Leading by example, All the lessons you teach. Available for all to see, But few to understand. Opening their minds by your gentle waves. I love riding your rapids, Surfing your waves. I’ve been caught in your undertow, To be released by your grace. Wherever I go, I find myself drawn…
“I go to nature to be soothed and healed, and to have my senses put in order.” -John Burroughs This week I drove the rough and winding road up to Hurrah Pass. I gazed at the canyons on either side of me, climbed the rocks and mediated among the whipping wind and dancing dust. I listened and laughed with the with the lust of nature. How can one ever feel alone in such a place? How can one look at the…
While food is awesome, I should let you know right now that I am not talking about the deliciousness that is the taco. I am talking about my Toyota Tacoma, aka “Taco.” It is funny for me to think back to just a few years ago when I never imagined I would be living in anything but an apartment or a regular house. I have been extremely blessed in my life, able to live in these very nice places with…
“I am happy out here. Messy hair, dirty feet & wild water on my skin. Out here with the wild things; this is where I belong.” – Brooke Hampton As with most things I do nowadays, this trip was planned only a few days before it took place. A facebook post from a friend led to a party, which got us a solid group and then we were on the way to our adventure! (Thanks for bringing it all…
“…life nowhere appears so brave, so bright, so full of oracle and miracle as in the desert.” – Edward Abbey I fell back in love. Not in your usual sense, though. Not with a person, but with a place. The high desert. As I was walking alongside a fellow goddess, my feet stirring up the sand below me, the stars lighting up the sky above, the heat radiating from the warmth the sun had left upon the ground…
Norway 2016 from Bohom Life on Vimeo. What do you think about when you think of Norway? For me, it is a mixture of things. My Grandma, Mimi, who still has her Norwegian accent. Sitting on a train, watching some of the most beautiful landscape roll by and by. Skipping rocks in the fjords with my family. Learning how to peel shrimp, and forevermore staying away from that practice. Norwegian waffles and how they are thought of as a snack…
Ever since I can remember, I have wanted to visit Ireland. It was the top on my list for YEARS. There was even a time when I swore up and down that I would marry an Irish guitar player. Priorities change, but my love for travel has not. When my Mom presented me with the opportunity to take a two week trip to Ireland and Norway with the family, I knew I had to say yes. At the time I…
Utah- California-Ohio Welcome to Canyonlands National Park outside of Moab, UT! My other home <3 This trip began on a beautiful October day. Even though it was my second summer in Moab, I had not been able to see much of the attractions that bring people in from all over our World. Being a raft guide, you work about six and a half days a week and spend all those days on the river. (No complaints there!) This past summer I worked…
