About Me

Hi, I'm Kaisa! I go places. Then I write about those places.

Granola (adjective): Environmentally conscious, dirty hippie. Fond of hiking, National Parks, road trips, playing in the dirt, and ballin' on a budget. Often seen sporting Chacos and body hair.

I feel like the closest you can come to being on t I feel like the closest you can come to being on the ocean floor is being above tree line on a mountain. HEAR ME OUT. There’s a specific type of quiet alarm in my lizard brain telling me to GTFO—this place is not for me, it is for the pikas, and marmots!⠀ ⠀ I took this picture on the CDT, a trail that specializes in pika and marmot land, in Rocky Mountain National Park. I did not thru hike the trail (because I don’t have six months to spare, and have a positively crippling fear of grizzly bears). Still, this weekend hike gave me endless respect for those who spend months weaving their way above and below tree line.⠀ ⠀ P.S. I recently learned that marmots are colloquially known as Rock Chucks. As in, the woodchucks of the rocks. YOU’RE WELCOME 👏
When it opened over 100 years ago, Café Louvre w When it opened over 100 years ago, Café Louvre was a gathering place of great thinkers like Kafka and Einstein. ⁣ ⁣ Sipping on my cappuccino, listening to the tinkling of silverware and lilting chatter in languages I didn’t understand, I tried to soak in any lingering motes of genius in the air. Tbd if it took. ⁣ ⁣ Still, there’s something magical about the energy in spaces like these. Even though I was more focused on my liver dumplings and tourist map than philosophical theory or general relativity, I felt a part of something bigger. Richer. Timeless. ⁣ ⁣ Also, for all the glam budget travelers out there wanting to soak up European café culture, lunch in the Louvre Café’s hallowed halls will run you about 250 koruna (or $11)... not too shabby for Einstein air 🤓
Buck’s favorite thing about exclusively outdoor, Buck’s favorite thing about exclusively outdoor, domestic, driving distance travel? He gets to come along for ALL of it 😅 between that and their people always being home, I think our dogs are high key enjoying 2020...
Anyone else reminiscing about old adventures while Anyone else reminiscing about old adventures while new ones are put on hold? 🙋🏼‍♀️😢⁣ ⁣ Some of my most treasured memories have come from traveling in Ireland. The people, the green, the Guinness (no, I will LITERALLY never shut up about the Guinness). Also, nothing like coming across ancient monastic ruins in the middle of your hike 🇮🇪⁣ ⁣⁣ Wicklow Mountains National Park is one of my favorite spots for taking in natural beauty on the Emerald Isle. It gives you a taste of rugged Irish scenery—just an hour from Dublin. You can drive yourself, take public transportation...⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ... or, you know, hitch hike 😬 I visited while volunteering at a local organic farm, so I thumbed it to the Glendalough Visitor Centre and explored from there. A TON of epic hikes of all difficulties leave from this spot! You pretty much can’t go wrong, unless you have something against lakes, valleys, panoramic views, and sheep. And if you do, unfollow me ✌️⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ If you want inspiration for future adventurez, check out my guide to an awesome day of hiking in Wicklow Mountains National Park (link in bio 🍀)!
Celebrating red rocks today! ☀️⁣ ⁣ Packing Celebrating red rocks today! ☀️⁣ ⁣ Packing up our lives to move to southwest Colorado, which means we’ll be just a few hours from one of my favorite places on the planet 🧡 (Moab, UT) ⁣ ⁣ Moving during a pandemic is weird and stressful.⁣ ⁣ But in related red rock loving news, finally snagged a #HavasuFalls Permit THIS MORNING, after weeks of refreshing at 9am! It’s for late 2020, so fingers crossed the Havasupai reservation is accepting campers by then 😬⁣ ⁣ All things considered, today is a good day.
