My last video post cut off the top of this super cool flying machine. ✈️ Can we also talk about this ceiling? 😍 Can I just move in already? And who else wants to have a go at flying this thing? 🇫🇷 The insanely beautiful @martsetmetiers. ✨ . . . . . . #urbanhiking #aov5k #welltraveled #tlpicks #girlswhotravel #wanderlust #thediscoverer #seemyparis #instaparis #thisisparis #topparisphoto #travelgram #parisjetaime #myparisstory #ig_paris #gltlove #theprettycities #igersparis #expatriatesmagazine #wonderlustparis #parisweloveyou #shotoniphone #suitcasetravels #postcardplaces #museedesartsetmetiers #birdsflyinghigh #inventions #lookup #nerdalert #cloudsanddirt
One of my favorite buildings in SF, taken on a sunny SF summer day. While I can appreciate some modern designs, I LOVE classic architecture. They don’t make things like they used to.

The lone palm tree. | Sometimes it’s fun to play tourist in your own city, right? 😊 I rarely get down to the Embarcadero unless I have people visiting or I’m desperate for a rose-geranium macaron from @miette. I got to do both a couple of weeks ago when I had the fam visiting—they’re not big fans of cities, so it’s always fun when they venture down from the mountains of Washington. 😊 . . . . . . #embarcadero #baybridge #palmtrees🌴 #dametraveler #howsfseessf #girlslovetravel #welltraveled #thatwestcoastlife #westcoastbestcoast #igerssf #fernweh #gltlove #visitcalifornia #urbanhiking #girlswhotravel #iamatraveler #sfblogger #nowrongwaysf #passionpassport #streetsofsf #alwayssf #topcaliforniaphoto #aov5k #shotoniphone #thediscoverer #TellOn #suitcasetravels #sfbay
On duty. 🙏🏻 | Is it weird how normal it feels now to see soldiers with submachine guns patrolling around Paris stone-faced? I remember landing at CDG after being stranded in Madrid overnight, the day after the bombings in Brussels, and being so unnerved by soldiers and police officers with massive guns and dogs all over the airport. It felt like a violation of such a beautiful city. Now I feel grateful when I see these soldiers. Grateful for their watchful eyes, and their willingness to serve their country and people. Curious how French people feel about this? Is it weird? 🇫🇷 . . . . . . #urbanhiking #aov5k #welltraveled #tlpicks #girlswhotravel #thediscoverer #seemyparis #instaparis #thisisparis #topparisphoto #travelgram #parisjetaime #myparisstory #ig_paris #gltlove #theprettycities #igersparis #expatriatesmagazine #wonderlustparis #parisweloveyou #shotoniphone #suitcasetravels #postcardplaces #chasing_facades #TellOn #garedelyon #peacefulplace❤️ #trainstation #soldier #onduty
Up close and personal at the Palais Garnier.

The only class I ever skipped in college was an astronomy class ONCE about the planets (Yes, Pluto was still a planet back then). I had to study for a calculus final, and my amazing roommate and BFF @ru_rulez went to class for me and took notes/recorded it so I wouldn’t miss anything. Sometimes I look back and think, what was wrong with me?!! Hahaha I was such (still) a nerd. 😊 I really loved school, but I was contemplating the other day about how the way we teach is so outdated and frankly so wrong if we want to empower and grow young entrepreneurs. We’ve got an assembly line of schools and classes that don’t really teach you what you actually need to know. We shove mountains of general knowledge into our heads, which might make you great at Jeopardy, but do little to prepare you to run a business. So how do we fix this? I still believe in the value of education, but why aren’t we innovating there more?! Those little minds are the future! • P.S. Would you ever want to skip if you went to school here?!! 😍 Snagged this pic while strolling down the Seine. 🇫🇷 . . . . . #urbanhiking #aov5k #welltraveled #tlpicks #girlswhotravel #thediscoverer #seemyparis #instaparis #thisisparis #topparisphoto #parisjetaime #myparisstory #ig_paris #gltlove #theprettycities #igersparis #expatriatesmagazine #wonderlustparis #parisweloveyou #shotoniphone #suitcasetravels #postcardplaces #chasing_facades #thefrancophiles #TellOn #artofvisual #allezlesbleus #livetheadventure #knowledgeispower #cloudsanddirt
Last weekend I was down at Fort Mason for a @bumblebizz event—which was great btw—and I always love stopping by the sailboats when I’m down there. There’s something about the sea, the tiny bells chiming, and the squeak of boats that I love. Maybe it’s a feeling of adventure about to take hold... • This time I heard some LOUD hammering and finally realized it was this guy all the way at the tippy top of a mast. WHAT on earth are you doing, man?! 😂 Zoom in and you might spot him. ⛵️Can’t beat the west coast on a perfect summer day. 😍 . . . . . . #dametraveler #howsfseessf #girlslovetravel #welltraveled #thatwestcoastlife #westcoastbestcoast #igerssf #fernweh #gltlove #visitcalifornia #urbanhiking #girlswhotravel #iamatraveler #sfblogger #nowrongwaysf #passionpassport #streetsofsf #alwayssf #topcaliforniaphoto #aov5k #shotoniphone #thediscoverer #fortmason #bumble #bossladies #TellOn #suitcasetravels #sailboats #marina #sfbay
Happy Saturday! Reality: running errands + doing laundry. Dreaming: One of my favorite semi-hidden spots in Luxembourg Gardens in Paris. So peaceful to sit and watch the duckies swimming—there were little baby duckies on my last trip! Also can we talk about great these green metal chairs are, and how in any other city these would get stolen? I keep thinking how amazing would it be if we had chairs all over our parks in SF?! Actually I wonder how often Paris has to replace these? I want them. If a few go missing... jk jk 😉✨ . . . . . . #urbanhiking #aov5k #welltraveled #tlpicks #girlswhotravel #thediscoverer #seemyparis #instaparis #thisisparis #topparisphoto #travelgram #parisjetaime #myparisstory #ig_paris #gltlove #theprettycities #igersparis #expatriatesmagazine #wonderlustparis #parisweloveyou #shotoniphone #suitcasetravels #postcardplaces #chasing_facades #thefrancophiles #TellOn #luxembourggardens #gardenstroll #hiddengem #peacefulplace

Any guesses where...??? 😏 • Don’t forget to look up people! You’re heads down staring at your screen right now...look up! Tell me what you see. 😲✨ • So where did I snag this shot? It’s an amazing light sculpture piece in the ceiling above the floor escalators at the Louvre. Always love capturing new perspectives. ⚡️ . . . . . #urbanhiking #aov5k #welltraveled #tlpicks #thediscoverer #seemyparis #instaparis #thisisparis #topparisphoto #travelgram #parisjetaime #myparisstory #ig_paris #gltlove #theprettycities #igersparis #expatriatesmagazine #wonderlustparis #parisweloveyou #shotoniphone #suitcasetravels #thelouvre #louvremuseum #museedulouvre #TellOn #artofvisual #lightsculpture #lookup #moodygram #modernart
“Do you give the horse his strength or clothe his neck with a flowing mane? Do you make him leap like a locust, striking terror with his proud snorting? He paws fiercely, rejoicing in his strength, and charges into the fray. He laughs at fear, afraid of nothing; he does not shy away from the sword. The quiver rattles against his side, along with the flashing spear and lance. In frenzied excitement he eats up the ground; he cannot stand still when the trumpet sounds." Job 39:19-25 • I watched Secretariat again recently—and this is the quote at the beginning and end of the movie, which I LOVE. Growing up with horses, I’ve always loved horse racing stories...Because they were all about underdogs—the horses people thought would never make it, and then blew everyone away. Seabiscuit, Secretariat, Mine that Bird...my dad was the doctor for Seattle Slew’s guard dogs, so I grew up hearing all the stories, and was always in awe of the legendary Triple Crown Winners.🐎 • Stepping into the unknown—it’s scary. But I refuse to shy away from going after my dreams—even if people think I’m crazy. Never stop. Never surrender. Keep challenging yourself to grow and learn. And help those seeking to climb mountains as well. Be relentless in the pursuit of your dreams. ✨ . . . . . . #urbanhiking #aov5k #welltraveled #tlpicks #girlswhotravel #wanderlust #thediscoverer #seemyparis #instaparis #thisisparis #topparisphoto #parisjetaime #myparisstory #ig_paris #gltlove #theprettycities #igersparis #expatriatesmagazine #wonderlustparis #parisweloveyou #suitcasetravels #postcardplaces #dametraveler #palaisroyal #chasing_facades #womentravelers #TellOn #girlslovetravel #cloudsanddirt #dreamchasers
