A goal of mine has been to climb more for fun and not just when I’m working at rock climbing retreats. I’d say I’ve been doing pretty good this year with a handful of crag climbing days a couple multi-pitch days as well.
Stoked to have many more adventures in Washington this year 🧗🏼‍♀️💛

A girl and some wildflowers 🌼

This was from about a month ago in California while I was on my road trip. But the current high alpine wild flowers in Washington have me reminiscing.

Can’t wait to get out on some Washington hikes to see more beautiful flower filled fields🪻

Car life —> tinyhome life

It may not seem like a big deal to you. But for me, it’s the beginning of traveling less, building more community, finding my person, and learning to love a more slow paced life.
Settling down isn’t always a bad thing💛

Went from a dark scary bat cave to a magical fairy land in a matter of minutes 🧚🏼‍♀️❤️

It’s so overwhelming to think about how many beautiful and magical places there are in the world. I want to see them all, but I am lucky to be able to experience the ones I have.

I never know how personal to get on my social media.
But my family is one thing that I haven’t really shared much about.
About a month ago we went on our first ever family trip. And we went all out by going halfway across the world to Spain. My family has spent time together in the past but not this much haha
I spent soooooo much time with my niece and nephew. It was really special getting to experience this with them.
Made me realize how important family is. And that I want to start my own family someday too💛

I think this past month has made me think a lot more about what I want in life. All this thinking has led me towards some huge life changes. Changes that I’m excited for and excited to share when the time is right🙈

What? A 2013 Honda Pilot isn’t as cool as a sprinter van?😂😉

And to answer your question, yes I can fully lay down in my bed in the back of my Honda.

First time exploring Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks 🌲✨
It was a quick trip, but so worth it. Here’s what I did in two days:

Day 1:
– Scenic pullouts through Sequoia National Park
– Midday hike on Congress Trail
-Lunch at the Lodgepole Market and Visitor Center (food was meh, maybe get groceries to make lunch or just stick with the ice cream)
– Sunset views from Moro Rock 🌅

Day 2:
– Big Baldy Ridge Trail in the morning
– More scenic stops in Kings Canyon
– Bagels + coffee at Clingan’s Junction to wrap it up ☕️🥯

It may of been a quick trip but I’m glad I went and got to experience these beautiful parks!

Somehow I had one of the most popular trails in Arches National Park all to myself— here’s how I made it happen!

• Went on a weekday (always helps)
• Started the hike a few hours before sunset
It’s as simple as that.
Perks:
• Skipped the packed early morning crowds
• Got to see way more wildlife as the day cooled down
• Enjoyed the glowiest golden hour light without the chaos

Most people hit Devils Garden early and miss how peaceful and magical it gets in the late afternoon. Honestly, I’ll take golden hour over sunrise any day.
Make sure you are keeping track of time or have a headlamp if you end up hiking out in the dark!

Best $500 I ever spent 😍

And yes you can still get a permit for this year too!
Head to the Havasupai website and check out their permit cancelation/transfer list. That’s where I snagged mine for this last minute adventure!

About 38 miles total with some added on trails and excursions 🥾

First time ever trad climbing or even climbing crack and chimneys but I went for it💪🏼

I left with lots of good memories, new friends, and my body covered in bruises.
I’d say that’s a win.

Day in my life
Working for She Moves Mountains Rock Climbing Retreats and living out of my Honda Pilot

Everyday is so different but usually it looks something like this.

I work morning hours prepping food and teach yoga in the afternoon. The time inbetween I get to use as I please!

High school Amanda dreamed of traveling the world. She didn’t grow up traveling much but always thought about all the places she wanted to go. She loved taking photos and videos and was always making silly videos.
Now here she is. Making silly videos and traveling the world.

It’s been awhile so I thought I’d do a little update on me✨
My name is Amanda, I’m 26 and live alone in my tiny home(that I built) in Washington State.
I work as a freelancer. This mainly includes content creation and guiding/working with She Moves Mountains.
I love traveling, reading, backpacking, climbing, all things outdoors, art, cooking, and so many other things.
I love Washington and being close to my family and friends but I dream of moving to a more sunny state like Utah.
I love creating community and hosting events.
I bust my booty doin all sorts of gig work so that I can continue to travel and explore this beautiful world.
That’s the gist of it. That’s me, at least put into a few words.

Las Vegas was never on my radar. But when @_chel.slayy moved there and told me about the climbing and hiking I figured it was time to see what Vegas is made of.
Less than an hour from the Vegas strip was all of these beautiful spots.
Not only do I like Las Vegas now, but I’ll be back that’s for sure 🙌🏼🩷

I could get used to this 🧗🏼‍♀️
I never thought I was scared of heights but I will say at pitch 5 doing a 10b the nerves kicked in for sure.
But despite being a little nervous it was such a magical experience and I’m proud of myself for doing it.
Ps already booked a trip for climbing in Red Rocks next week #hooked

📍 Potrero Chico, Mexico

Subpar coffee with spectacular views☕️🏔️

Heading up towards Stevens Pass it’s hard to miss this cute little coffee stand on the side of the road. And if you get the chance to stop in on a clear day you will have a spectacular view of Mount Index.
This day we couldn’t see all the mountains but the snowy tree vibes were 10/10❄️

📍Espresso Chalet, Highway 2, Washington State

“I can buy myself flowers” but make it PNW🌲

“I can rent myself a cabin”

Sometimes you just need to book yourself a cute cabin in the mountains and remind yourself what a bad a$$ you are 🔥❤️

Is this heaven?😇

We went for a day trip from Mexico City which was about 7 hours of driving, but when we are on a time crunch and wanted to see this amazing spot we make do!
If I could go back I would’ve stayed for multiple nights in this area. We barely scraped the surface of what this area has to offer. Outside of the hot springs there’s also rock climbing and hiking in the area.
I wish I could somehow share with you how insane the hot spring tunnels and caves were but you’ll just have to experience it yourself. The last few videos of this post I try to give you an idea of what the cave hot springs were like but it doesn’t do it justice.

📍Tolantongo Hot Springs, Hidalgo, Mexico

I booked it with @getyourguide which included an amazing guide(photographer), transportation, and all the hot springs.

Normal entrance fee is $12 includes pools, river, caves, tunnels, hiking, and waterfalls.

Distraction, distraction, pretending my life isn’t dependent on the lil rope attached to my harness🧗🏼‍♀️

Climbing 5 pitches and reaching 500ft was no small feat for this casual climber.

But there was a nice sense of peace when we finally got to a ledge that we could sit on and get some water and snacks 🙌🏼

Thank you @ambers_affirmations and @shemovesmountains for a great climb!

Woke up at 4am to head out for the most amazing sunrise hot air balloon ride outside of Mexico City.

Weekend Orcas Island Itinerary

-Stay at @doebayresort (I stayed in one of their treehouses)

-Book a hot tub/sauna session at the Doe Bay Resort Spa

-Drive up to Mount Constitution for mountain views and a nice lil nature walk

-Stop by @orcasislandwinery for a wine tasting

Orcas island is a beautiful spot in the Summer but Winter is much quieter and slower. It’s a great place to reset and have a little getaway for your body and mind.

📍Cannibal Hot Tub, Packwood, Washington

The Cannibal Hot Tub is located in Paradise Village close to Mount Rainer. You can book the hot tub, sauna, cold plunge package for about $200 an hour and have up to 10 people.

The trick is to customize your @fullcirclefarms box when you feel motivated to cook more and eat healthy.
Then next thing you know it shows up at your door and you are set for the week🙌🏼

Having a @fullcirclefarms subscription really has helped me eat healthier, cook more meals, and nourish my mind, body, and soul🤍

Who wouldn’t want to snowshoe to a cute cabin for a little overnight adventure?!🏔️

Going to High Hut is one of my favorite Winter adventures. It’s like backpacking but you get to stay in a warm cabin with amenities like a oven and toilet!

Reserve your stay online!
Each day, 2 spots are being held back and not reservable. During the winter season, these spots will be released one month in advance.

Comment below with any questions you may have!⬇️

Being a yoga teacher and avid yoga class attendee I see a lot of teachers cleansing the studio at the beginning of class.
After researching a little bit more about this ritual I decided it is just what my little tiny house needed!🕯️

Today I Needed A Reminder.

A reminder of the woman I used to be. The bright, happy, outgoing, adventurous gal. The one that lived life to the fullest and did whatever she could to make herself and others happy.
The one that loved the company of others, but was completely secure being on her own and seeing the world on her own.
The one that ran towards her passions.

I miss that. I miss me.

Looking through my photos, seeing this amazing life that I have lived. It gives me hope that I can get back to being her. To being myself.

Life is crazy. It’s full of ups and downs. It can surprise you at any moment. But I’m here for the ride.
