Emily Geo
This quintessential Southwest town is an underrated destination. Enjoy the local art scene, unique and historic pueblo-style arcitecture, chili-infused food, and mindfully explore the variety of outdoor spaces.
Santa Fe is about a 1 hour drive from Alberqueue with proxity to Southern Colorado, White Sands National Park as well as other spectacular mountainous and lake views.

🌍My passion for sustainability shines through everything I do. I currently work for an outdoor retailer and I love sharing outdoorsy recommendations and breweries.
I've been to over 20 National Parks and am exicted to create localized guides for them!
Conscious travel doesn't have to include finding a spot off the grid, living out of a van, or only eating vegan food. I enjoy sharing local businesses, environmentally-focused travel tips, and authentic and respectful ways to spend time while you're away from home. Check out my city guides and trip recommendations for mix of eco-tourism and enriching plans anyone would enjoy!
