August Top 10 #theusiscooltoo

I'm currently sitting in the Redmond, Oregon airport waiting to start my long journey home to Bloomington and can't believe August is almost over! I just finished up an awesome trip to Bend, Oregon with Yoga + Beer for a 5 day retreat. It was pretty epic so stay tuned for lots of details on that. For now, I'm sharing my favorite contributions to #theusiscooltoo hashtag!

#2 Midwest Travel Bloggers - I met Lisa and Sarah at the Women in Travel Summit in Milwaukee. They each run their own blogs but they have created a wonderful network of Midwest travel writers that gives us a forum to ask questions and network with other writers in our region. They recently traveled to the Minnesota State Fair and shared this monster cookie bucket... YUM.

#8 @yrofthemonkey - Paroma is a fellow travel blogger based in San Francisco that I met online. Her blog is all about travel and food. She often features her adorable pup in her shots. It's been a few years since visiting Seattle and this shot makes me want to return ASAP.

#9 @photojeepers - David and Jaime are some of my favorite landscape photogs on Instagram right now. Their shots are so crisp and feel almost monumental. They recently did a roundup about the best travel cameras and they were kind enough to ask me about my favs. Go check it out!

#10 @harborsandhavens - I'm still in shock about the damage in Houston. Michelle is a Houston native and shared this image recently before the hurricane. If you can help in anyway, please do. Recovery from Hurricane Harvey will be a very long process and they need all the support they can get. NPR has a thorough list of organizations listed in this article so I urge you to check it out and help if you can.
