Ten Good Reads

1. Oh The Hell With Perfect Photos Of Perfect Food on Gluten-Free-Girl & The Chef

This is why I've been reading Shauna's blog for years. She's real and has no fear in shouting it out. 

2. Month One of #yTraveloz - Highlights and Challenges on YTravel Blog

In all honesty, before I found Caz & Craig's blog - I was never interested in visiting Australia. Now they're road tripping around the country with their two little girls and totally convincing me that I need to add it to my list to visit.

3. The Christmas Dessert Freedom Cookbook on Healthful Pursuit 

I wish I could gather myself together to eat more like Leanne everyday, so I'm starting with this cookbook for the holidays. It's worth it for the tiramisu alone. 

4. The Changing Arctic by Duncan Geere on Maptia

I think I find just about everything north of the Arctic circle fascinating and I could talk your ear off about climate change if given the opportunity.  

5. Learning to Embrace Travel Challenges on TravelShus

A beautiful and thought provoking piece on Annie's experience in Nepal.  

6.  Alberta Landscapes on Heyvian

Simply stunning snowy landscapes along the Icefields Parkway in Jasper and Banff National Parks.

7. Tongariro Crossing on Yes To Adventure 

I'd love to go back and do this hike in snowy conditions - we trekked this route in the summer but got hit with some wild stormy conditions that obscured many of these great views. 

8. Yukon 1x1: An Instagram Roadtrip (Video)

Oh. my. Yukon.

9. Square Shooter: Filmmaker Chris Patterson on Instagram on Adventure Journal

Chris has been shooting and directing Warren Miller's ski films for lots of years now and I've been watching them every season for the past 17 years or so.

10. On Tour: Divisadero, San Francisco on Fluxi On Tour

Ana has amazing taste - and I'm loving her picks for this neighborhood of San Francisco.
