Stories plucked from the far corners of the earth. Told by me. Especially for you.

  • Have you been to the Dry Tortugas? Was it everything you hoped it would be? Have you camped there? I am basically obsessed with this little slice of heaven. Here’s an excerpt from my recent usatoday.com article. For the full story, just click the link in my profile. After a 2 1/2-hour boat ride, it finally comes into focus: an enormous fort in the Gulf of Mexico that seems to rise up out of the water. Beneath it: a tiny island known as the Dry Tortugas. Kristen Marks is giddy with delight. Not only is she checking another national park off the list, she is also visiting a place that not many people ever get to explore. With only about 70,000 annual visitors, Dry Tortugas National Park, about 70 nautical miles west of Key West, happens to be one of the least-visited national parks. Why? For starters, it’s tricky to get here. The options include a long ferry ride, a 30-minute seaplane flight or going by private boat. In other words, it’s a remote spot in the middle of nowhere. But that’s exactly its appeal. Photo by Andy Newman / Florida Keys News Bureau
  • We’re well above the tree line. Which explains why it’s so barren. Fluffy clumps of moss dot the landscape in a quilted expanse of camouflage. A thick layer of fog hovers, making the scene that much more epic. It’s like we’re about to step foot on Mars. Instead, I’m smack dab in Middle Earth territory. Which, to me, is equally exciting. I scoot myself out of the chopper. And with hunched back and bent knees I jog to escape the swirling blades. I’m staring down the Pisa Mountain Range, home to one of New Zealand's highest mountain-biking trails. We’re at about 6,500 feet, and it’s go time. Seconds later, as I hop onto my bike, secure my helmet and start to make my way down the steep, narrow path, my lack of skills is apparent. All I keep thinking is: Don’t knock your teeth out. // On assignment with @mowalk_ last year in one of my favorite places on the planet: New Zealand!!

  • Happy Earth Day to you 🌍 Hope you get to use your outdoor voices today! A few small things I’ve been doing lately: 1) Packing snacks and sammies in reusable sandwich bags. I’m a fan of the @stasherbag brand. 2) Bringing my reusable water bottle to restaurants with me so they don’t give me a plastic cup and straw. What eco-friendly things have you been adding to your routine? Gimme some more ideas. 😀
  • Don’t forget! All national parks are free tomorrow, April 20. Go get some nature!
  • Where the wild things are. Alternate caption: What a nerd I am. Thanks for capturing this forest magic @wockenfussphotography and for laughing with me and at me.
