#1 First kayak trip of 2019 on the Jacks Fork River! by @melodyrussell

Kayla and I started our float just outside of our hometown of Mountain View at Blue Springs access. This is a popular spot for locals and tourists alike, but we were lucky to enjoy it all to ourselves before peak season begins! The spring is somewhat of a hidden gem since it’s only accessible by boat, or by swimming across the river in the warmer months._{Find this post on the map Find this user on the map}

#2 A day to be inspired at the Great Wall of China by @haydae

The stairs got the last of us eventually as we reached ones that were so vertical we couldn’t even see the first steps leading down below, unless we got to the very edge of the platform we were standing on. That brought down the curtain on our visit for the day but we didn’t forget to store away all our bewilderment on the way back to the pulley cars._{Find this post on the map Find this user on the map}

#3 Tel Aviv, Israel - First impressions walking around Jaffa by @izzynoel

I had no idea what Israel would look like in reality. My first impressions didn't expect the grime and sooty buildings with ripped canvas awnings. All street-level frontage was boarded up with cages or roller doors. The footpath of uneven concrete slabs. A trip-over waiting to happen. The twenty minute walk down Eilat Street to Jaffa Old Town immersed me in fumes from the passing decades-old model cars and buses. _{Find this post on the map Find this user on the map}
