Endless fields of hardened lava, mountains of jagged black glass, and thundering waterfalls - Oregon has been called the Iceland of the United States, and it’s not hard to see why.
For those of us without the time (or the funds) to jet away to Europe on a moment’s notice, Oregon is a surprisingly great substitute, with a match for nearly all of Iceland’s most popular attractions. One of the best places to find them? Newberry National Volcanic Monument, which boasts ancient lava flows, lakes nestled into the top of a massive caldera, and the longest cave in Oregon! If you’re looking for world-class views on a budget, check out some of the things to see and do in Newberry:

We're all stuck inside during the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic, but that doesn't mean we'll never be able to travel again. Now is actually the perfect time to daydream about all the wonderful places you'd like to visit once we're allowed to travel!
I've compiled a list of one thousand different places across the globe to see before I die. From cities and cultures to all of the most beautiful natural wonders, this list is designed to inspire you - you can use it as your own, or add or subtract to it. The world is an amazing place. Take a moment (or longer) to appreciate all the incredible places around the globe: As I’ve mentioned about a thousand times before on this blog, I used to live in the Pacific Northwest, and am firmly convinced that it’s one of the most beautiful places in the world. If you had any doubts about that, I’m pretty sure I’m about to change your mind.

Northern California up through Washington state marks one of the most beautiful areas in the country: the Pacific Northwest. If you’ve ever searched through the #PNWonderland tag on Insta, you’ll know what I’m talking about.

This area is full of stunning parks, and while they’re spread out, this list is designed so that you can hit up as many as you like! Stay in one the whole time, jump around to see your favorites, or go all in and visit each park on the list!
While I'm a huge advocate for travel at any age, there's definitely something about traveling in your 20s. Maybe it's the relative freedom you have at that age, or maybe it's just that travel companies spend so much time marketing to young people that we've internalized it, but traveling in your 20s is unforgettable. One of my favorite ways to experience the world is by camping!
