Dreams... :)

A waitress that served us said: "the southwest is a magical place"

And I would have to agree - from its incredible people (Shoutout Jen, Eliana, Bri & roommates and other friendly people I met), unreal views. and great brews (not really but it rhymed), I felt deeply the magic of the Southwest during my 10 days there! :)

I didn't go more than 5 minutes without someone looking me in the eye and greeting with that Southwest genuine kindness!

Couldn't drive more than a few miles without having a view of an insane canyon or beautiful desert or gigantic mountain.

And never knew a place so far away could feel so much like home. (Definitely helped that the food was 1000%! #christmaschile #NM)

I'd been dreaming of this trip for 4 years, and it was everything I dreamed of and more. So grateful I got to get a taste of the magic of the Southwest and can't wait to come back for more! :)

My deepest gratitude to the peoples who have nurtured, sustained, and cared for this land long before any of us

arrived on it. We all are indebted to you.

Zion National Park and My last day in Salt Lake!
