Picnic in the Hoh Rain Forest

As promised I’d start posting more often again and since I took my trip to Washington about 1,5 month ago, I thought that it would be good to post my last article about it today. As you guys remember from previous post, the Olympic National Park has a lot to offer (mountains, snow, beach, rain forest and so on). After wandering through the rain forest for a couple of hours we found some really cool picnic spots nearby. 

On the road

The internet is running slow here in Honduras, but since I have nothing else to do I decided to share this picture that I took in Washington last month. If you have read about my Washington road trip already, you probably already know that I’m obsessed with this state. Everything is just so pretty and peaceful, even the roads. Before moving to California I remember that I would spend many evenings browsing through Pinterest and WeHeartIt and I’d stumble upon really cool travel quotes pasted on gorgeous pictures with clean roads in the middle of nature.

Little update

Hi guys! I wanted to give a little update to anyone who’s reading my blog. I’ve been traveling for a couple of weeks now and haven’t found the time to post a lot of pictures. I’m currently in San Pedro Sula, Honduras visiting friends and new places I haven’t been to before. I’m taking a lot of pictures and video footage and hope to update the blog as soon as possible. Starting in August I’ll post frequently again like I used to, but for now I just needed a little break to fully relax before I start school and work again in August.

Thank you so much for understanding!

PS: This picture was taken above Phoenix and I’ve never seen the sky being so pretty and pink before! Gorgeous view!

4th of July Block Party

Living in another country brings lots of new experiences. Experiences that we often know from the movies we saw or the books we read. The Fourth of July or Independence Day is a national holiday in the United States on which the americans think back of the day on which they were declared independent from Great Britain, in 1776. On this special holiday people rise up their American flags, wear clothes with the patterns of the flag, watch fireworks and spend time with friends and family.

Rialto Beach

Rialto Beach is probably the most unique looking beach that I’ve ever seen. The kind of beach that you’d see in a good movie and that makes you dream about being more adventurous and going to places that look like this place. Living in California, I’m used to white sandy beaches with hot surfers every few meters, so this was something totally different. Black sand, tall trees, driftwood everywhere, the most amazing rocks in every shade of grey and little islands that you could see through the foggy landscape. 

Seattle: The video

I have lots of pictures of my city trip left to share, but I’ve been working on going through all of my little video fragments that I shot during the trip (about 300!). I picked the ones I liked and put together this little video of the trip. 

Thoughts on National Parks & the ultimate feeling of freedom

Before I came down to the US, 10 months ago, I thought that National Parks were a combination of Disneyland and the zoo. I didn’t really know what they really were. I thought it was just one of those touristy things, that people want to see when they are in a certain area. Now that I’ve been to 3 of those parks (Grand Canyon, Joshua Tree and Olympic National Park) I have a better idea of what a National Park is.
