January Memories 💌🥾☕️❄️🍜🥃

Which includes a lot of coffee, cocktails, dinner at home, snowy hikes, family, & netflix - thats the fun stuff anyway. There has also been car repairs, wrist probs, last minute unpacking, & slipping on ice 🙃

Snowy walks with my animal friends ❄️🦌

Yesterday was a good day ❄️☃️🥾

Things have changed though - just a few days ago I shared that I was going to Indiana for my next travel assignment. In the last 24 hrs, I was offered a different contract, closer to home, and I accepted it 🧡

So, now, Owen is going to have a house girlfriend a bit longer 😜 until it warms up and I move Twiggy back to the campground 🚌 I guess I better go un-pack 🧳

Good vibes all around :)

This time I am headed just 6 hrs. away to Indiana for my 5th Travel RN contract 👩🏼‍⚕️

Don’t worry, I have already scoped out hiking trails, national forests, cute bnb’s & coffee shops 🥾🌲☕️ + i have a trip booked to Chi-town already!

💫 I’m Shona - RN by day, cougar by night 🐆 iykyk

💫 This is NOT a couples account 🤪 owen does make appearances because he is my BF, so naturally we do shit together & because I like him, he is here 🤌🏼

💫 I am an OUTDOORSY girl! I love to hike, kayak, swim in the ocean, explore parks, ski, & will freeze my booty off for a good view 🥾🌊🏔️

💫 I live in Twiggy, a 28 foot travel trailer and drive Birdie, a 2013 Jeep wrangler 🚌✌🏼

💫 I love to eat, period. 🍔🥓🍳🧀🫐🍎🍤🥧

💫 I don’t make resolutions but I DO have some big goals this year and plan on crushing them 🚀

💫 I am getting ready to go on my 5th travel RN contract - stay tuned where. I’m staying in the Midwest! 👩🏼‍⚕️

💫 I love to travel & have some really cool trips planned for 2025 ✈️

I used this pic of US because I like it and tbh forgot to share it before the holidays so … TA-DA 😎

Definitely Top 5 of 2024 … to remember🫶🏼✨

South Kaibab Trail, Grand Canyon 🏜️

One of the best & also most sad moments I’ve ever experienced - the trail was beautiful. Seeing two packmules lose their life that day, heartbreaking.
