I still don’t think I can get fully behind camping though, I’m sorry 🙈🙊
I’ve been having a blast getting outside as of late — it is doing WONDERS for my mental health! I was so stoked when @toyotausa asked if I wanted to celebrate National Public Lands Day over the weekend, as California is full of incredible National Parks that I’ve slowly but surely been venturing out to.
Decided to take their Grand #Highlander out to Joshua Tree National Park — give yourself at least 2 hours to drive through the park and see all of the incredible exhibits! I love the Cactus Garden & Hall of Horrors, but you can’t go wrong anywhere in the park.
Despite being large in size, the Grand Highlander was such a smooth ride — tons of cargo space for our adventures, incredible off-roading capabilities and we even saved on gas with EV mode (the car mostly runs on electric when we make short drives in the city!)
What National Park is on your bucket list? Let me know in the comments below! #memoriespermile #ToyotaPartner #latravelblogger #blackgirlstraveltoo #hardlyhome #travelwithfathom #labloggers #dametraveler #theartofslowliving

If you’re looking for a cute, boutique hotel to stay at for your next Lake Tahoe trip, I’ve got you covered ✅ SAVE this post for your next trip!
The @tahoeblackbear is a super cute property located in South Lake Tahoe, and is cozy, yet modern and absolutely breathtaking! I could have easily spent more time curled up near the fireplace playing games, and I loved their wine bar on site. The service here was also incredible!
Also wearing some of my @sezane fall favorites here — linking them in Stories!

There should be way more photos of curvy girls enjoying the outdoors on this app. Just saying 😊
One of my favorite parts about my @visitlaketahoe_official trip was getting a chance to pause & focus on both my physical and mental health. Not gonna lie, I’ve been struggling with body image for a few months, but I’m really proud of all that this body was able to accomplish during this experience!
Some of my favorite wellness experiences during my trip:
1. Hiking at Van Sickle Bi-State Park
2. Clear Bottom Kayaking with @clearlytahoe
3. Yoga with @tahoeblissexperiences (they offer beach yoga if weather permits, but I also enjoyed their studio class!)

Tag a friend you’d visit Lake Tahoe with!
Why should you visit Lake Tahoe in the off season?
1. The weather is beautiful! Warm afternoons, chilly nights — light layers is all you’ll need to pack.
2. Fewer crowds — we enjoyed scenic drives without all the traffic, trails nearly to ourselves, and could dine at the best restaurants in the area with ease.
3. Off-season rates — stay at your dream hotels for less $$$!
While skiing and snowboarding might not be an option in the fall, you can still enjoy water sports, hikes, scenic views and more. Some highlights for me this recent trip included:
• Renting a convertible with @renotahoerentalcar
• Taking scenic drives to Emerald Bay
• Clear Bottom Kayaking with @clearlytahoe
• Our stay at the @tahoeblackbear

I know that I moved to California a couple of years ago, but the views here haven’t gotten old. Mountains? Beach? Cliffs? I hope I never get tired of it!
I haven’t left the state in several months, but I’m finally doing that whole travel blogger thing again and exploring places *outside* the state for a chance! Who would have thought?
If you have recs for Berlin, Tuscany and/or Bordeaux, please drop them below!! So excited to go to Europe this fall!
