“With Heather Hogan at the A-Camp 8.0 ‘Heaven is a Place on Earth’ dance.”
Michelle and Lynne / Middling to High / Sorrento, Italy
“Windswept with Vesuvius in the background! We are from the UK and have spent more time in Italy these past six weeks than at home – probably just as well. Rome in May for the tennis – YES MARGARET COURT, WE’RE EVERYWHERE – and Sorrento for a week with my family in June. Molto Bene!!”
Lj / 28 / The Philippines
“I went on a quick holiday because it was a long weekend in celebration of a National Holiday. It was the Philippines’ Independence Day and I went on a solo (get it?) mini-road trip and it was fun and refreshing. (San Juan beach, San Fernando City, La Union).
The rest of the weekend was spent in my hometown (Dagupan City) with family and friends, who are basically family, who fed me home-cooked meals. It was a much-needed stress reliever, energy booster, and change in scenery for when this healing-from-a-break-up provincial girl goes back to the big city for work.
Jenna / 28 / Coney Island, Brooklyn, NY
“In the bustling metropolis of New York City, it is easy to forget that the Atlantic Ocean is just a train ride away. Being a barista (or more generally, working in the service industry) means working when other folks generally aren’t. This is cool because it means we aren’t working when most folks are. I have never seen this beach so empty in the summer time. I think this was a Tuesday or Wednesday. It was a fun day!”
Pat Denbeau and Emma Madorsky / 31, 21 / Pacific Ocean
“This photo was taken while enjoying a weekend with Emma’s family. It was awesome to have one of those moments where you couldn’t love each other more captured.”
Grecia / 22 / Kitt Peak National Observatory, Tucson, AZ
“A visit back home, where saguaros wave hello. Tiny desert witch/space cadet takes on astronomy (and 117 degree heat) in the Sonoran Desert, just before a big move to Chicago for graduate school takes over her life. Featured: a thrifted space camp t-shirt, resolving those wistful feelings of having never actually attended it.”
Madi/ Southeast Missouri
“I usually spend my weekends on my grandparents’ land down in rural Missouri. I will pack a bag and take the ATV all around the land and just explore nature. Its real nice for just relaxing and is what I do on my summer vacation.”
Hannah and Samantha / 27, 22 / Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, CA
“Hannah and I live in Perth, Australia and made the 24 hour trek to San Fransisco to visit my parents. Even though I’m from the area, we decided to be embarrassing and go on a segway tour of Golden Gate Park with my mom. We are now pros.”
