JULY 2025 Adventures With Carli A monthly round of tips, travels, adventures and what's next Hello adventurers! I can't believe we're already halfway through summer 😩 Since this is truly the best weather in Seattle (and the reason we deal with all the gloom) I try to stick around the PNW as much as possible. July is also the time of year for my favorite non-sanctioned event of the year (see video below). I even got talked into buying a paddleboard, which after 2 decades in the city makes me...

MARCH 2025 Adventures With Carli A monthly round of tips, travels, adventures and what's next Hello adventurers! Welcome to Aries season. If you don't know what that means, it's my birthday this month! 🥳 Unfortunately, as an 80s baby, my time has come to leave my 30s and enter my 40s (whomp whomp). What better way to do that than go on an epic trip to the southernmost continent? This also happened to be my 6th and 7th continents 🤩 There's so much to share about the beauty of Antarctica, more...

FEBRUARY 2025 Adventures With Carli A monthly round of tips, travels, adventures and what's next Hello adventurers! We survived another month of 2025, only 10 more to go.

But with a large trip ahead, I spent most of my winter at home in Seattle, blogging and working on projects around my apartment. Where in the world is Carli San...
