    Hi, I’m Taryn!

    Hi, I’m Taryn!

    I travel extensively, hike kind of a lot, am a champion of the underdog, definitely don't identify as 'indoorsy,' have a serious love affair with glamping, believe life largely revolves around eating and drinking well, and I'm a wannabe photographer. If any of that resonates with you, let's connect!

    Let’s connect on Instagram!

    I've seen the Blues over a dozen times, but always from land - and honestly, I didn't think it would be much different from a boat. I was wrong! Fun (maybe not-so-fun, I suppose) fact: my trip to Pensacola was booked MONTHS ago, and my itinerary was verrrrrry different up until the beginning of this month. The govt shutdown meant I couldn't visit Fort Pickens, the Gulf Island National Seashore, and several other spots. It also meant the Blue Angels weren't traveling for air shows, so they practiced at home instead. I would never have seen this, much less from the water, if things were business as usual. When life gives you lemons... Thank you for this unforgettable experience @friskymermaidpb and @visitpensacola !! #blueangels #pensacolabeach #pensacola #emeraldcoast #navalairstationpensacola

    Kennaday Peak Lookout is one of just a handful of fire towers in Wyoming you can spend the night in (as you can see, though, it's been vandalized and trashed - I'm not sure I'd personally feel safe up here overnight). This one is unique in that you can drive right up to it. Fire lookouts are unfortunately fading from existence as drones and other modern technology replace them, so I'm always stoked to explore one, especially when you can see the inside...and even more especially when there's no one around to have to share it with 🙌 Have you ever seen the inside of a fire lookout? Thank you to @discovercarboncountywy and @wyoming.outdoor.adventures for sending me off on this solo adventure! #firelookout #wyoming #thatswy #medicinebow #brushcreek #firetower
