Moving is already a pain in the ass, but that doesn't mean you have to be an as***le to the Earth 🙂‍↕️

So here are the places I've gone to continue practicing mindfulness and sustainability in preparation for this move ↙️

📍Fort Bragg (Mendocino County)

My friend and I got out the car to get on the trail towards Glass Beach. As we walked up to the fence post, I saw this heart hanging on the fence post.

Cutest art drop or art bomb I had ever seen ☺️

Happy 33rd birthday to me!

I took like zero selfies this past year, so it took me a minute to dig this up lol.

For everything that was and everything that will be, I am grateful.

Millennial 😗✌🏽 forever. Dom out 🫳🏽🎤

It's official! is moving!

Not long ago, I had a knock on my door and it was my job unexpectedly asking me to relocate to HQ. The decision came fast and easy but not without mourning.

While I'm very sad to be leaving GA so quickly after just coming back, I am very excited for what the future holds.

I have many friends and family in the area who will be my rock as I get reacquainted with my old stomping ground, but I'm thrilled to explore many new parks and places!

To all my friends and folks in the community here in GA, I'll miss you very much-- let's have at least one last hurrah together this season!

And to my friends in my old stomping grounds, I'll see y'all in just a few short months 🤗

Happy National Virginia Day (yesterday, the 14th 😅)!

👇🏽 POLL DOWN BELOW 👇🏽

❓Did you know Virginia is home to 22 National Park units, including iconic spots like Shenandoah National Park, Colonial National Historical Park, and the Appalachian Trail? I've had the pleasure of visiting those 3 (all pictured except the AT), especially Jamestown-- the very first permanent English settlement founded in 1607, forever shaping the course of American history.

Whether you’re hiking Skyline Drive, wandering through battlefields, or soaking up coastal views, Virginia has a way of connecting the outdoors with the past in one unforgettable experience.

[POLL] Have you been to a park in Virginia yet? Which one’s your favorite?

Let's get serious and do the necessary research to know what's what and how everything (outdoorsy) is connected.

THIS 👆🏽 is all necessary to protect our public lands. I would even argue it's the bare minimum.

A little glimpse of what life's been like lately.

From loved ones passing to a hellish EoQ to break ups and engagements, the best word to describe my outlook on life right now is "apathetic".

And before anyone asks— I'm fine. I'm just focusing on getting myself back in alignment, both literally and figuratively.

It has only been 160 years since Union soldiers arrived in Galveston,Texas and announced the freedom of all enslaved black people.

Lest we forget, there are still people, places, and things here, in 2025, to remind us that we've come a long way and continue to overcome in spite of all the wrong committed towards our community.

Happy Juneteenth, y'all.

June 7th is National Trails Day 🎉

According to National Day Calendar (),

"National Trails Day falls on the first Saturday in June and...encourages people to discover their local trails, become active concerning trail issues, and share their excitement for the outdoors.

promotes awareness of the wide variety of services the trails systems offer. It's also an opportunity to thank the many volunteers, land agencies, trail developers, park employees, and rangers for their help in developing and maintaining the trails."

So HUGE thank you to all the trail workers out there 🫶🏽

And shout to for making it easier to recognize those folks 👏🏽

Today is sponsored by the American Hiking Society ().

🌍 Happy World Environment Day!
