Hey there Reader,
July is here — cue the crackle of campfires, the pop of fireworks, and the smell of sunscreen and adventure in the air!
☀️🔥 June flew by in a blur of epic trails, starry nights, and (of course) a few facepalm-worthy mishaps. 😅
If you’re ready to make July legendary, I’ve got fresh bucket list ideas, gear picks, photography tips, and inspo to fuel your next great escape.
Let’s dive in! 🚐💥
Favorite Photo from June
This month's favorite photo was from a rose garden!
What do you think? Do you like this editing style or would you prefer a more traditional rose? 🌹
Also, I would love to feature some photography from YOU! If you have an incredible photo, send it over and you might be featured next month!
Adventure Bucket List Ideas for July
✅ Camp under the stars — Grab that sleeping bag, find a dark-sky spot, and let the Milky Way blow your mind.
✅ Take a sunset paddle — There’s nothing like gliding through glassy water at dawn or sunset (bonus: no crowds, all the vibes). See my sunset video
✅ Try a night hike — It’s cooler, quieter, and way more magical. Don’t forget the headlamp!
✅ Plan a last-minute road trip — Spin the map, pick a spot, go. 🚗
✅ Catch fireworks from a mountaintop — Simple yet incredible!

Adventure Amazon Product for July
If you’ve ever spotted someone typing away at 10,000 feet — on a mountain top, in a ski gondola, maybe mid-hike — that was probably me. 😂
My adventure product for July is...a keyboard case for an iPad.
You can see my review here.
Since I work remotely to fuel my full-time adventures, this keyboard case for my iPad has been a total game changer.
It means no more lugging my giant laptop everywhere — just lightweight, portable productivity so I can sneak in work between epic views.
Have an Adventurous July!
As always, I want to thank you for being a part of this adventurous community!
I appreciate you and hope that you have an incredible July 2025!
Stay adventurous,
