Hello, I’m Lana!
I’m based in Denver where I enjoy the vibrant city energy and quick access to the Rocky Mountains. I’m originally from Colorado, although I’ve also lived in Los Angeles (which I love! Go Dodgers!) during parts of my childhood and adulthood. I happily live with my husband, Mike, and our beloved dog, Hallie.
I created this blog to share and synthesize my passions for adventures (especially hiking!), photography, philosophical reflection, and for seeking out beauty in all of its forms. I have a B.A. in Philosophy, a Master of Humanities, and am a Ph.D. student in Environmental Studies at CU Boulder. I love running, yoga, seafood pasta, ice cream, traveling (especially to seaside towns!), books, movies, and chance encounters when a feeling of instant connection and joy is experienced upon meeting a new person or place.
I believe in individual and social progress towards a more just, sustainable, and imaginative world. I also believe that we have a duty to enjoy the sweetness of life. Thanks for visiting!
