hike to rudys


Untitled, originally uploaded by suzanimal81.

so here i am living in montana and all i can think about is Golden. i had so much fun up there last winter snowboarding the most extreme and challenging terrain i have yet to ride, meeting an amazing group of friends, and just having myself a time! i thought i could find that same happiness here in whitefish but ever since i got here all i have been doing is working. working insane hours and making half as much money as i did in seattle. as for the mountain, it would be ok....if there was any snow on it! i guess im just here waiting and trying to make sometime to figure out what i want for my life and what is important to me. its a new year and this is what i wanted, a new start. now i just have to make the most of my time here and remember why i moved out here.

ch ch changes


after much mental turmoil and overall restlessness ive decided once again to let my adventurous side take over. as of 20 minutes ago i am now a season pass holder to whitefish mountain resort. montana here i come! im really excited about this next chapter of my life. im ready to leave seattle behind and start fresh in a smaller community. seattle is a great city and i have wonderful friends here but for some reason its not enough. im finding it to be a cold and loveless. after spending last winter in golden ive come to realize that i need to be closer to the things i love and at this point in my life mountains are top.

manzanita


, originally uploaded by suzanimal81.

its been a crazy few months. i quit my job, moved out of my apt and packed all my things into boxes or gave them away. my plans for a year in mexico exploded in my face and now im finding myself floating around trying to figure out what to do with myself, and most importantly, how to heal myself. So here i am living in manzanita for a month. ive met some amazing people and am having an incredible time, relaxing, reading, cooking, surfing and hanging out.

vietnam

ive been wanting to go to vietnam for years now.

I finally did it. it was beautiful but there was garbage and litter everywhere. it opened my eyes and made me think about our relationships with people, the earth, and our overall treatment of our surroundings.

i want to take action. next step....

amazing huevos rancheros

this pretty much sums up my entire trip. eating lots of food, surfing and relaxing on the beach. this was my first ever solo trip and it couldnt have come at a better time. it gave me much needed space and clarity that i could not have gotten anywhere else with anyone else but myself.

ups and downs
