I’m gearing up for my next west coast adventure to Zion and Moab in a few days and tbh I’m so excited but it’s also a bit out of my comfort zone in some ways. Wilderness camping, which I haven’t done in a long time, etc. But 2020 has bestowed on me a lot of opportunities to experience new things – like hot air balloon rides! – and go on to push myself to breathe through the small moments of discomfort in order to experience something new. All said, I’m super excited for this upcoming trip and hoping to come back with some epic photos from Zion, Arches, and Canyonlands! . . . . . . #hotairballoon #hotairballoons #balloons #aeronautics #aviationphotography #aeronautica #creativeoptic #photocinematica #justgoshoot #artofvisuals #gramslayers #illgrammers #agameoftones #fatalframes #landscapephotography #naturephotography #visitcalifornia #adventurephotography #killergrams #agameoftones #awesome_photographers #artofvisuals #beautifuldestinations #travelingphotographer #travel_world #LandscapeLovers #BeautifulLandscape #landscapeshot #splendid_earthpix #DiscoverLandscape

Sometimes it’s better to just let things be, don’t fight for closure,don’t ask for explanations, don’t chase answers and don’t expect people to understand where you’re coming from.Slowly learning that life is better lived when you don’t center it on what’s happening around you and center it on what’s happening inside you instead. Work on your inner peace ❣️ . . . . . . @tripotocommunity @instaudaipur @wegoindia @cntravellerindia @cntravellerindia @natgeotravellerindia @colours.of.india @stories.of.india @kandima_maldives ——- #jetsetter_wasi #live #love #travel #incredibleindia #udaipur #rajasthan #shotongopro #india #igers #travelgram #travelphotography #travelnow #traveldeeper #traveltheworld #passionpassport #travelust #traveler #instagood #instago #photooftheday #udaipurdiaries #rajasthantourism #bhfyp #udaipurcity #cityoflakes #instaudaipur #instadaily #365daysinparadise #kandimamaldives
