Hello and welcome to Friday! Cheers to the weekend, am I right?! 🥂Even during quarantine, I'm ready to close my work email and decompress. The best way to do that? Nature!

I've never considered myself to be that into the great outdoors, but something about staying inside for so long has got me craving some natural beauty. Beaches and hiking trails may be closed, but luckily I've got the next best thing: Instagram. Scrolling through gorgeous travel photos is almost as good as breathing in that fresh mountain or beach air. Almost.

So until isolation is over, you can find me on the internet, virtually exploring the world's most beautiful places. I see you, Iceland! 👀
