We walked after work to clear our heads after another hard day. We watched the sun set. We talked, we laughed, we climbed back down to start over again the next day.
I am grateful.

What does it feel like to #getyourassintonature?

It’s so freeing, it feels like you’re getting away eith something, like being a little kid again and staying up past bedtime with your best friend again, but its out in the open, and its wild! You feel so small! You are so small!

What is your favorite part about #getyourassintonature?

I love that there are so many different types of beautiful bodies in so many different types of beautiful places. I love that people don’t feel like they have to fit any sort of standard to be free and to be happy and feel connected with the world in such an intimate and natural way.

What does adventure mean to you?

Adventure isn’t about getting on a plane or climbing a mountain, I think it’s more about giving yourself permission to live and to dream and to come up with crazy ideas and try them! Not everyone can have access to glamorous landscapes, but theres so much power in just making yourself leave the house, in trying a new restaurant or taking a chance at a new hobby or a project. I used to be stuck in the suburbs but even just walking through the grass without shoes on. Adventure is giving yourself permission to be free.

How do you exhibit courage when you #getyourassintonature?

Its scary! Sharing a picture of your tushie?? You wonder what people will think! You wonder if people will see your body and think lesser of you? What if someone you know sees it? But then its like, who cares? We all are naked under our clothes all the time, and i was naked on top of a mountain, and I’m not afraid to share that anymore, because it felt real and it felt good.
