Marriott Bonvoy has over 30 brands in their global portfolio, fit for any traveler and any occasion. @MoxySeattleDowntown is the perfect base for exploring Seattle while also being part of the experience itself. Moxy Hotels make you actually want to hang out. From the welcome drink, to the quirky decor, games, and food, I had so much fun catching up with friends from my vanlife days and exploring the city with them. @marriottbonvoy

When dreams become a reality and you’re finally eating take-out pizza overlooking the ocean at golden hour on a random Tuesday in Cape Town.

Marriott Bonvoy has over 30 brands in their global portfolio, fit for any traveler and any occasion. So when @MarriottBonvoy brought 3 nomads together for a week in Seattle, our base was @MoxySeattleDowntown. We spent a couple days experiencing some of the most iconic places in the city as well as a place we know and love, Mt Rainier. The three of us laughed till our faces hurt and had so much fun catching up.

We’ve been to this restaurant twice now and hope to have time for one more visit before we leave. Cape Town has so many quirky gems. I’d love to hear other recommendations for similarly unique spots.

📍 Polkadraai Strawberry Farm is about a 35 minute drive out of the CBD in Cape Town. On a nice weekend, I imagine it gets quite busy and there are activities like tractor rides for kids. We went on a cloudy weekday and had the place to ourselves.

💵 80 Rand or around $4.85 USD per little bucket which is definitely larger than the container you get at the store for a similar price.

🍓 The berries themselves were large, plentiful, and in great condition! They usually are pickable from October - December.

I love a multipurpose building, especially a historic and beautiful one!

📍Heaven Coffee Shop is right on Green Market Square

The coffee wasn’t my favorite in Cape Town by any means, but it was well prepared and the setting is quiet and lovely! And the resident dog, Cocoa, is adorable. 🐶

Ok, maybe not the primary reason…I’ve just always

Ok, maybe not the primary reason…I’ve just always wanted to visit the beautiful city of Cape Town, South Africa. The friendliness of everyone here has been off the charts, the views breathtaking, and the eclectic mix of cultural influences make the food scene so much fun.

This beautiful little moment basically made me cry. They sing so beautifully! There really is no where like the African continent. I haven’t visited much of it, but the energy that I have witnessed is unmatched.

It’s hard to beat larch madness in the North Cascades of Washington! Share with someone you want to go with!

🗓️ When: usually the first week of October 🍁🍂 But this year it appears to be even earlier!

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads, father figures

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads, father figures, and people who teach us life lessons. My dad taught me a lot and I recognize him in a big part of who I am. Thanks for all the wisdom, deep sentimentality over music and history, and a powerful sense of nostalgia. I’ll never forget “lefty loosey, righty tighty.” Our parents and people we love are never here forever. Hold them close.

You know my ideal picnic is coffee! ☕️ Preferably in nature.

@outin.inc.official makes it possible to grind and brew espresso anywhere. The Outin Fino grinder is small and portable but powerful enough to grind espresso fine. And how cute is the pink Outin Mino espresso machine in partnership with the Breast Cancer Research Foundation?! A portion of sales of the co-branded espresso machine go towards finding a cure.
