Headed into the desert again this weekend for the @taosvanlifegathering with @vanlifediaries and @idletheorybus in Taos, NM! I'll be sharing songs on Saturday evening and can't wait to catch up with some of you fellow road warriors. See you soon!

That face you make when you just backpacked ten miles into camp and someone finds candy in their pocket.

#ad We are constantly searching for the best vanlife gear, and one of my very favorite new items on board @rubyvanzandt is the @jackeryusa Explorer 500 Portable Power Station.
Having power on the road is crucial for charging laptops, phones, cameras, lights, and even our giant fridge. I've used a few different power stations and battery setups over the years, but they were typically too heavy, didn't hold a charge, or couldn't power many of the items in the van. When Jackery asked us to test out their new Explorer 500, I worried we'd run into the same issues as before, but I've been so impressed with this little power station! It's light enough that I can easily haul it in and out of the van, it has a variety of charging ports, and it can power even our biggest gear. Safe to say, it's quickly become a vanlife staple.🙌

Been getting lots of fetch and snuggle time in with this sweet one lately. Hard to say goodbye to that face, but I'm hitting the road once more for a bunch of upcoming shows in Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, Idaho, Oregon, Washington, and California. Check the website for details and dates!

I've been dealing with some serious knee/hip pain this past few weeks, and as I work to diagnose the cause, I'm daydreaming about being healed enough to climb to views like this once more.

Fall tour dates are officially announced and I couldn’t be more excited to be sharing songs across the country once more! I'm even more thrilled to be joined on many of the stages by @leehenkemusic and @andreavonkampen on this run.

Tickets and details can all be found on my website. Please buy early as many of these venues have limited space. I can’t wait to see you all on the road!

For the last couple weeks I've been wandering around my favorite spaces in Montana, eating all the baked goods, floating rivers, climbing mountains, and dancing into the wee hours of morning with old friends. My schedule gets insanely busy after this month, and the nostalgic summer break has been the perfect way to finish out my time off.

I've been thinking a lot lately about privilege. Because in truth, I'm noticing more and more these days that I am incredibly privileged. I'm a white, cis-gendered, naturally thin, middle-class American and so is my male partner. I'm self-employed with a stable income, which means I take time off whenever I want/need, and have been fortunate to travel all around the world to hike and camp and share music, usually surrounded by friends. And yes, I live in a van, but it's because I choose to, not because circumstances put me there. And it's a really nice van..
.
Now, don't get me wrong, I've had my fair share of unique struggles and it was only a few years ago that I was skipping meals because I couldn't afford groceries or my bills. But even in those days, I had privilege. I had the knowledge that at any time I could swallow my pride and call home for help. I've always had my family as a safety net for my biggest leaps.
.
I work hard. And I take pride in my work ethic and the sacrifices I've made to be where I am, but I'm learning constantly that I also need to take a step back and recognize that many of the opportunities I've had aren't always available to a lot of other people. And I don't think there's a need to feel guilty about that, actually I feel unbelievably grateful. But I do think it's crucial to check myself now and then and recognize my own privileges, while understanding the challenges of those with different experiences.
.
Do you feel privileged? And if so, what do you think your responsibilities are in recognizing your privilege?
