All. I. Can.
I love the videography of this trailer. The cinematography is brilliant. I think the scene transitions from around 1:35-1:58 are amazing, they creatively show (not tell) some unique imagery between humans and the earth being so alive. I also particularly liked 4:55-5:50 which has some impressive time-laps shots.
Those who may not be as into winter sports sorry this trailer is kind of long, but hopefully it motivates you to try it this season since we live in one of the best places for it!

UTA is no Metro or SEPTA
I love the experience public transportation brings, especially in large cities like DC, Philadelphia, and New York. I am rather confident when it comes to riding the Metro through DC, and getting around SEPTA in Philly but ask me about UTA and I am clueless. Thank goodness for the internet.
I live on 700 East where a bus stop is literally at the end of my driveway. However with the never-ending construction that has been going on, the route has been detoured to who knows where. So I decided to catch the next closest bus route. I caught the 832 by the WILK. I chose this route for two reasons: first, a friend recommended I take this bus because she rides it every day for work. And second, route 832 goes past University Mall. On Friday I had to pick up my runner’s packet for the Halloween Half Marathon so I figured I would make the most of this public transportation journey and travel to a place I needed to get too.
A few things I learned was my cousin Brook rides the bus! I ran into her while I was getting on the bus, she was on her way to Wyview where the majority of bus riders got off. The bus was unexpectedly full for a Friday evening, particularly with females. I thought that was interesting but there were much more females then males in that particular bus.
I was surprised at how people amused themselves while riding the bus, I honestly thought more people would entertain themselves by talking/texting/browsing on their phone but only a few were distracted with their phones. A good number of people were engaged in conversations with other bus cruisers, and one group was even singing some tunes…

Found.
There comes a point in life
where you need to find who you are.
We all get lost.
Where do you go to be found?
Mother Nature understands that adventures
to mountainous peaks, to hidden lakes,
to raging rivers, and desolate deserts
each deliver an unexpected journey to discover who you are.
Be found.
Be found realizing those granite cliffs you are climbing,
is really only a mirror reflecting what lies inside of you.
Be found acknowledging those lakes you are camping around,
is really only a portion of the exclusive views illustrating you.
Be found recognizing those rapids you are riding,
is really only proof that life’s challenges are carving out you.
Be found understanding those wildflowers you are hiking through,
is really only demonstrating that just as a single wildflower brings life to a vast landscape, the earth isn’t complete with out you.
Be found in the thrill of uncovering a new point of view, knowing that you are determined, you are unique, you are powerful, you are beautiful, and you are you.
Be found freeing yourself in the colossal details on your unexpected escapades.
Mother Nature understands that adventures
to mountainous peaks, to hidden lakes,
to raging rivers, and desolate deserts
each deliver an unexpected journey to discover who you are.
Be found.

Move.
I love traveling the world and experiencing what there is out there. I am also obsessed with photography and love capturing my own visions of the world. I was in DC and Philly the past several days and so it reminded me of this video about traveling. I think the video is super original and creative. The video is one of three; focusing on movement, learning, and eating. I highly recommend checking out the other two (both a min each). http://vimeo.com/rickmereki They are just as cool.
