On Beautiful Days When You Can't Watch a Ball Game.



Nothing makes me feel alive and free like stealing the good seats right above the dugout at a baseball game. Even sitting up in the nose bleed sections are still an exciting delight miles and miles away from all responsibility. Nothing like it in the world, but as summer eases in, there’s one more sport I have to get my fix of.

Lighthouse Hostel Short Trip from San Francisco



Since my days of as a kid with nothing to do on the Mississippi River, through my time as a icy adventure woman on Lake Superior, to camping on the beaches of Venezuela, I feel a little more sound and at ease with myself near water.
