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

Granola (adjective): Environmentally aware dirty hippie (will also accept tree-hugger and/or flower child). Fond of hiking, National Parks, road trips, playing in the dirt, and ballin' on a budget. Often seen sporting Chacos and body hair.

Who is ready for spring? ☀️🌸🙋🏼‍♀️
Have you ever heard of Garden of the Gods?⁣ ⁣ Have you ever heard of Garden of the Gods?⁣ ⁣ I hadn’t, until I moved to Colorado. And even here, there’s some confusion about what this area of dramatic vertical redrock actually is—is it a national park? A state park? A city park...? 🤔 As a former NPS Ranger, I think these designations are super fascinating!⁣ ⁣ Despite what Instagram’s (shamelessly incorrect) geotags would lead you to believe, Garden of the Gods is a National Natural Landmark. NNLs aren’t always public land, nor are they always private land. They’re kind of a mixed bag, but they’re ALL significant because of the biology, ecology, and/or geology they contain.⁣ ⁣ Garden of the Gods earned its NNL status thanks to clearly baller sedimentary rock formations, rare ant species, and excellent bird watching!⁣ Its easy hiking trails, rock climbing, and spectacular views of the Rockies and Pikes Peak are WELL worth a couple hours next time you’re in Colorado Springs! ⁣ ⛰🐜🦅
At 10,151 feet, Leadville, Colorado is the tallest At 10,151 feet, Leadville, Colorado is the tallest city in the United States! ⁣⁣ (Fun fact: La Rinconada, Peru is the tallest in the WORLD, at 16,830 feet. But I digress.)⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ When hiking at these altitudes, it’s easy to get a little woozy. Even at distances you’d have literally no problem with at sea level. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I personally just notice shortness of breath, but sometimes symptoms can be gnarly/much more severe than that. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Here are the best ways to combat altitude sickness (some are easier to follow than others... AHEM... I love beer): ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 💧 Drink more water⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 🍺🙅🏼‍♀️ Drink less alcohol⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 🍕 Bring on the calories⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 🏃🏼‍♀️ Go slow, and listen to your body 🙌⁣ ⁣ Holla at me if you have any other good tips!!
Okay team, in less than 2 months I will be back in Okay team, in less than 2 months I will be back in this wonderful country! 🇮🇹🍕🍷⁣ ⁣ ... but I need your help.⁣ ⁣ If you had a week to spend anywhere, the only stipulation being you had to fly/drive/train there from Rome, where would you go?!⁣ ⁣ THE WORLD IS YOUR PASTA SAUCE-SOAKED OYSTER. GO.⁣ ⁣ T.I.A. 😘
Golden hour in the golden state ☀️ What’s yo Golden hour in the golden state ☀️ What’s your favorite California park? #nationalparkgeek
