A couple weeks ago, myself and my group of girlfriends looked at each other with serious faces and said “enough is enough, we have to stop going out so much”. Don’t get me wrong, we love a good girls night at great restaurant in town followed by some cocktails – but the spending money and “treat yo’self” lifestyle has been adding up real quick. We decided that our hangouts moving forward would revolve around more workouts and nights in. Plus, now that I have settled into my new place, it’s made it much easier to host friends.

While I strive to encourage people to want to explore the outdoors, I’ve witnessed beautiful places forever ruined because of what stemmed from social media. But while we’re on that topic, I want to be clear on one thing: instagram didn’t ruin these places.

…maybe you did.
 

South Dakota wasn’t on my radar or bucket list – but it’s definitely a spot that you should add to yours. From the rolling hills to some of the biggest caves in the US, all the way to the sky-scraping Badlands sitting under the darkest skies and the brightest stars – you won’t be disappointed. ⠀⠀

I promise.⠀⠀⠀⠀
