TRAVEL MEMOIRS: LOOKING BACK AT OUR MOST UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCES<\/h1>\n

\"image\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Do you ever have to moments where you look back and think \u201cI actually did that?!\u201d<\/p>\n

Yeah, me too.<\/p>\n

I’m interested in hearing what some of your most breathtaking, thrilling, and stunning moments have been while traveling. Share your stories in the comments below! I’m so excited to read and learn how crazy you all are.<\/p>\n

For some inspiration, here are 15 things I still can’t believe I’ve done.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"IMG_7885\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. Traveling solo<\/p>\n

If you knew me as a kid\u2026this is just ridiculous on the scale of \u201cthings we\u2019d never predict Shalee to do\u201d.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. Camping alongside a glacier in Iceland<\/p>\n

Accompanied by a bottle of Herbal Liquor…<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. Getting poison Ivy on my butt<\/p>\n

Female peeing in the wild can sometimes have consequences.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. Free climbing waterfalls in Hawaii<\/p>\n

No rope? No problem! Just don\u2019t slip and fall the 40 feet to the bottom, then ya might get a bruise.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5. Freediving underwater caves in Tobermory<\/p>\n

60 feet of caves and I forgot my goggles, which resulted in a 99 cent child pair for ages 6-12.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

6. Getting an interview for Columbia\u2019s \u201cDirector Of Toughness\u201d<\/p>\n

Hi high school me, yeah you, the one who intentionally switched her schedule to get out of weight training…just\u2026what the hell?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

7. Hiking the entire Grand Canyon in under 9 hours<\/p>\n

(Aka the only way to avoid all tourists)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

8. Going to Australia<\/p>\n

It was only my dream since FOREVER.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

9. Standing atop the Half Dome in Yosemite<\/p>\n

Still laughing at my 19-year-old self thinking I was totally prepared for this climb (P.S. I\u2019d never climbed a mountain before).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

10. Watching the northern lights on the beach<\/p>\n

Does this even need an explanation?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

11. 70 (maybe 80?) foot cliff jumping<\/p>\n

I questioned it for a moment before the guy in front of us jumped completely naked.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

12. Getting addicted to coffee<\/p>\n

NO. YOU DON\u2019T NEED IT. NO. Okay, fine no creamer double sugar plz.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

13. Freediving in sand shark caves<\/p>\n

Tension, fear, and adrenaline never felt so good.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

14. Finally completing the snowboard, wakeboard, surf trifecta.<\/p>\n

Rocket Power goal achieved\u2026even if I biff regularly on a wakeboard.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

15. Starting a blog<\/p>\n

What the heck?! When did this happen?! What\u2019s a blog?!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now it’s your turn! Let’s get this discussion rolling.\u00a0\ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Happy travels!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
