    We want to spend more time outside hiking – with the dog – enjoying summer!

  • Lauren Silva

    I’m so excited because I’m going to Boston next week for a work conference and I’ll be spending one night in Salem! I’m also traveling to California (Los Angeles and Anaheim) at the end of the month for a belated birthday vacation. East Coast to West Coast! I’ve never been to either and I can’t wait to see what kind of vegan treats the cities have in store. Recommendations are definitely welcome!

  • Rachel

    I would love to go on a bike riding adventure this month!

  • Stephanie

    This month is my mother’s birthday! Her favorite place is the beach, so we will be taking a short trip to a beach in Manchester, MA.

    I also want to go on a weekend trip to Vermont to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city :)

  • Noelle Savage

    We’re taking a trip to our lake house in PA. It’s the perfect place to unplug, relax and take the kiddos on lots of adventures. Hunting for frogs and other “nature animals” (as my daughter calls them), hikes, fishing, swimming and just enjoying the simplicity of the lovely nature preserve.

    my husband is a workoholic and he tends to do side jobs on the weekends and doing his art projects on the weekdays after work. so i wish he would take some time off this month and we could finally go to sea side as a family , or for a hike in the woods , or visiting friends who live in nice green suburbs. staying in the city in summer with kids is no fun, we long for nature and fresh local foods that are ripe now. couple times in summer i took my kids to visit family in russia and we enjoyed wild forest berries in june, then in july followed organic berries that u could buy from old farmers at little market at almost any bus stop in the city, in august came big juicy watermelons. the only hard thing was strong jet leg that took us 2 weeks to get over, and lots of big mosquitos that u cant tame with any natural bug spray for long enough. nevertheless going to visit my family overseas was best summer adventure !

  • christophersorel

    oh my daughter would love that

  • Kirsten Antony

    I just had an excellent adventure a week ago in Crestone, Colorado. My family and I did some hiking and then visited this most unique town. It is town unlike any other. The adventure part of the trip was when I was given a map to visit a variety of religious centers. This town has 43 different religious centers and is quite the spiritual mecca. We visited a variety of temples and met some incredibly wonderful and interesting people. I think the best part of any adventure is being spontaneous and greeting the day with an open heart and an open mind.

    Just got back from a family vacation, which was an adventure in itself! So this month I’m looking forward to the adventures in my daily life – out on a run, walking through the park with my toddler, or just spending time in the backyard.

  • Skye

    With being in college and working 7 days a week, it isn’t easy to get out of town and go on adventures, but we are going to a lake for the day this month in a chalet and hosting my sister’s 13th birthday. My husband and I are also trying to get pregnant and that’s a whole adventure in itself! We read the The Kind Mama, and will be purchasing all organic food/bath products, etc and switching to a plant-based diet to help with fertility! Thank you for all your advice!

  • jtlittlelong

    We are taking a trip to 4 different states. Along the way we plan on eating at at east two vegan restraints in each state and stop at as many fresh fruit stands as we can. With the fresh fruits and veggies (of what we don’t eat haha) and whatever my mom grows we plan on making salsa with her tomato’s and onions and peppers can tomatoes make pickles (she has a homemade vegan recipe) make hot jalapenos and make apricot jam (apricot,apricot pineapple walnut) mint jam from her grown mint. We also buy corn from local farmers and freeze it or can it. It’s a great tradition to utilize her organic veggies and fruits plus we have a huge stock for the winter.I could go one with all the veggies we do and fruits like applesauce or cherry pie filling

  • Ciera Alvarez

    Well one of my friends is getting back from a two month adventure in Europe and we are hoping to start camping and hiking together (it can be hard to find buddies to do that stuff). We are planning a trip to do the lost coast trail (I think that is what it is called. I am super stoked to have a partner who also wants to be outside.

    I’m excited to be taking a trip to LBI for my little cousin’s wedding. We’ve turned into a nice little vacation where several of my family members get to spend a good bit of time together and I can not wait for it! I’m also hoping for a little weekend away with my love, we plan to go camping on the beach for a couple of nights quickly after I get back! A little time away from technology and the city, just the beautiful beach, the sun, sand, and sky, camping under stars. It’s going to be lovely!

    The adventures I would like to take this month of August are mini personal adventures of being better and kinder. I would like to continue to push at being vegan (vegetarian for years but have been vegan for a week). I would like to be nicer to my family and show my gratitude to them (instead of just holding it inside and being cranky). I would like to take steps towards starting my blog (a dream). And I want to challenge myself to learn to ice skate! Those are my mini adventures for August. Paris will have to wait till next year.

    Cutest little outfit and my size! I love adventures with my two boys(One turns 3 this month and the other is 5 months old). This month we will take advantage of where we live! We will pick flowers, tomatoes, peppers at the local organic farms, hike to the waterfalls of white oak canyon, hike along the AT to beautiful views and talk about the different trees and mushrooms along the way. Take a train up to visit my husband for a day at work. Canoe he Rivanna River while the water is still high enough. And we will be taking a little vacation and spending a week in Colorado! I need some tips on the best vegan places to eat in Denver, Boulder and Steamboat Springs and also a place to get a vegan birthday cake or cupcakes in Steamboat Springs! Any ideas??

    It’s almost been 2 years since I’ve been living in CA! But one of the adventures I would love to take this month would be traveling home to see my family and friends back at home in my small town Vienna VA. :) I know it doesn’t sound adventurous but it would be to me and also amazing to see them again, especially my Grandaddy and nana who I love with all my heart. <3 I hope you have a great week Alicia! I love that you're vegan. :)

  • Kristy Engelke

    Our family will be fermenting this month. Already started with sourdough and mead, and will be doing kefir grains and pickled vegetables soon! We are also planning a relaxing cabin stay in Big Bear this month.

    I plan to continue the adventure of seeking out (and enjoying) more animal-friendly foods. I love how much better I feel after eating well!

  • Debi Cole

    I’m actually having one right now! I’m in Maui! Being here always encourages and seals my love of nature and why it’s important to have a vegan lifestyle. The beauty that I want to care for..the ocean with all its beautiful life! And it’s so easy to live a kind life here! And the fresh foods and farmers markets! Do you know they have a farm sanctuary too? It’s up on the road to Hana! Definitely a must see while I’m here! Love!

There will be boba, pho, phad thai, and more!

    My boyfriend and I are going camping in Yosemite in two weeks! It’ll be my first time there. I haven’t been camping for over a decade, but since going vegan in January it’s been the top thing on my list! I can’t wait to get out into nature, deplug from all of the machines, and of course, eat healthy vegan food! :)

It’s way overdue!

  • Whitney

    I know the giveaway is over but I still wanted to share my “adventure plans”. My husband and I are downsizing, minimizing, and reprioritizing our life! I am 6 months pregnant with our 2nd daughter and our 1st will be 2 next month. (hands full!) We have decided to get back to basics. I am quitting my job, we are selling most of our things to get out of debt and live more simply. We plan to spend more time together and less time worrying about what the world tells us we need to. Now that, is an adventure! :)
