\n\t\tOVER 550,000 VIEWS IN 2015! THANK YOU!
\n\t<\/h1>\n

I can\u2019t believe 2015 is almost over and I can\u2019t believe I have been blogging for almost two years. When did this happen? Where has time gone?<\/p>\n

My site stats for the year recently came in, and I am in awe once again. 550,000 of you in 173 countries somehow managed to stumble upon a wee-little blog from a Midwestern girl who never has any idea what she\u2019s doing. Thank you.<\/p>\n

From Maine to Iceland to Portland to the Caribbean, I can rightfully say I had a hell of a good time this year. Here are some of my favorite moments:<\/p>\n

Best waterfall:<\/strong> Seljalandsfoss, Iceland<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s to a crazier, bigger, and more epic 2016. I\u2019ll graduate from college in 5 months, visit more countries than I ever imagined, and meet more inspiring people. Thank you again, from the bottom of my heart.<\/p>\n

What were some of you favorite memories this year? Did you camp in any epic locations? Do you recommend any locations to visit in the upcoming year?<\/p>\n

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