If we don't try new things - even, or especially maybe, things that scare us - how are we ever supposed to discover what we love? I know this is a relatively common fear, but I used to be terrified of the ocean (annnnd I grew up in Long Island NY 🤪). Being on a boat was fine, but swimming and definitely kayaking in open water...NOPE. The thought that some sort of sea creature, wind, or a wave could knock me over sent me into deep, dark rabbit holes that shook me to my core. This year, I've kayaked in the ocean twice, once in Wilmington, NC and once in Alaska. A few years ago I wouldn't have gone. And I also wouldn't be able to say that I kayaked in the freakin' ocean in freakin' ALASKA. Both experiences are some of my favorite travel memories of all time. Do the damn thing. The thing that scares you, the hard thing, the uncomfy thing. Promise it's so much better on the other side. 📷: @stephazoutdoors #kayaking #alaskagram #alaska #doepicshit #wheretonext #bucketlistadventures #kachemakbay

I'm still not totally used to carrying around a 'real' camera and to be totally honest, sometimes I still think it's a serious pain. SO.MUCH.STUFFFFF 🤪 But then, I see how photos like this turn out and I'm reminded of how worth it the 'real' camera (and all of its various lenses, batteries, chargers...) is. I'm curious, for my fellow frequent travelers/adventure enthusiasts and content creators - do you stick with your phone or also use a legit camera setup? Fun fact: these are Steller sea lions in Resurrection Bay, off of Alaska's Kenai Peninsula. They hang out in groups on the rocks for safety, as their only real predators are orcas and sharks 🦈 #alaska #alaskagram #resurrectionbay #sealions #kenaifjords #kenaifjordsnationalpark
