Five ways to bring the outdoors indoors | 📸 @urbanoutdoors⁣
⁣
1. Pitch a tent in your living room for an urban camping adventure. Don’t forget your headlamp! 💫 ⁣
⁣
2. Order plants and cultivate your own indoor garden. Top picks are ferns, succulents, snake plants + fiddle leaf figs 🌿⁣
⁣
3. Print your adventure photos and create a gallery wall. Alternatively, support your fav outdoor photographers by purchasing prints 🧡⁣
⁣
4. Open the blinds and let the light in! If you’re feeling extra spicy, let a breeze blow through 🌶⁣
⁣
5. Fire up the oven and bake homemade s’mores for the ultimate coze 👌⁣
⁣
Staying at home can be a grand adventure. It’s not quite the same as traveling to parts unknown, but it’s what we need to do right now.⁣

This is what happens when you don’t post on instagram for seven months: life. keeps. going.⁣
⁣
More now than ever, life is moving at a rapid pace. We’re spending less time in public and more time glued to our screens awaiting updates. ⁣
⁣
That’s why I didn’t want to pass the opportunity to use this platform as a space to connect — virtually.⁣ ⁣
My hope is that we can find commonalities in this thread and make some new social media friends while we’re at it.⁣
⁣
I’ll go first... I’m @itsgariele! I’m a mom, wife and online business owner / web designer based in Victoria BC, Canada 🇨🇦 I love camping in my van, exploring local beaches & reading fiction novels.⁣
⁣
Confession: I started Rad Girls 6 years ago & have absolutely NO idea what the future will hold for this account 🔮 And that’s okay. ⁣
⁣
✨ NOW, INTRODUCE YOURSELF. Tell me who you are, where you are based & something you are passionate about! ⁣
⁣
PS. Don’t feel the need to share only about adventure or travel or backpacking... this thread welcomes all.

Quick, name something more stunning than Vancouver

Recently took a trip with @nellybex 👩‍✈️ in a Cessna Skyhawk propellor plane and let me tell you, it was breathtaking. You’re looking at aerial images taken of the Juan De Fuca Trail, Port Renfrew and Discovery Islands just off the coast of downtown Victoria.

Alaska absolutely grips our interest — we’re intrigued by the wilderness, wildlife and sheer willpower of those who live there. The ultimate Alaskan dream is to see whales in the fjords! What’s yours?

PS. Speaking of whales, we’ll be heading out on a tour this afternoon in Victoria, BC 🐳 Tune into our stories for more!

Unwritten rules and reminders when you’re traveling along this delicate coastline: ⠀
⠀
👀 Be aware of your surroundings. The cliffs are steep & the ground uneven, so put down the selfie stick and watch where your feet are going.⠀
⠀
🚐 Pay attention to the road. There are many pullouts & parking lots, so if you miss a view, focus on finding the next safe spot to turn around.⠀
⠀
🗺 Stay on the trails and obey closure signs. Can’t stress this enough... the State Parks system puts warnings in place for a reason. Be smart, be safe.⠀
⠀
🙏 Practice kindness. Yes, it can get busy. Yes, there will be tourists. Yes, we all get a turn to enjoy nature’s gifts.⠀

Earlier this year, I drove from Canada to San Diego with my husband in our converted van. We spent 26 nights on the road, staying in state parks and campgrounds, surfing when we could, and soaking up the California rays. Oh, and we did this all with our 4-year-old daughter.⠀
