My Missing Cat Came Home – Can You Believe It?!

Two months ago, my heart broke when my kitten went missing. I searched everywhere—put up flyers, called neighbors, and even posted online—but had no luck. Every call I got ended in disappointment. I was devastated, constantly blaming myself. But this morning, something miraculous happened! I found her in the backyard nursery, all dirty and covered in grass! She came home on her own! I rushed her to the vet, and thankfully, she only had a few minor scratches. After all the tears, my daughter and I couldn’t believe it. I’m so grateful. 💖 #lostandfound #catloss

How a Cairn Saved Me from Myself

Cedar Mesa, late afternoon. I was lost—again. Not the poetic kind, just the dumb, stubborn kind where you think you know better than the map. I’d walked past the same sun-bleached juniper twice before I noticed the cairn: a stack of rocks, nothing special, but someone had tied a faded red bandana around the top. It was ugly, obvious, and exactly what I needed. I used to think trail markers ruined the wildness. Now I know: sometimes you need a sign, even if it’s ugly, even if it means admitting you’re not as self-sufficient as you want to be. That cairn wasn’t beautiful, but it got me home. #HikingConfessions #LostAndFound #TrailTruths #Travel

Someone’s Memories, Left on Shelter Cove Road

Found a camera on Shelter Cove Road, right where the fog breaks and the asphalt feels like it could swallow you whole. If you lost it, tell me what’s on the roll—maybe the dog on the driftwood, or the friend who never looks at the lens. I’ll send it back. I keep thinking about the photos inside. All those moments you meant to keep, now stuck with a stranger. It’s weird, holding someone else’s proof that they were here. Makes you wonder how much of travel is just trying not to lose things you can’t replace. #LostAndFound #TravelConfessions #ShelterCove #Travel

The Day I Got Lost at Plitvice

Everyone posts the waterfalls. No one posts the part where the map makes no sense, the sun is too much, and you’re halfway between two buses with no idea if you’re even on the right trail. I kept thinking: this is supposed to be beautiful. Why am I just tired? I sat on a damp log, watched a family pass by, and realized I’d spent more time worrying about missing the perfect photo than actually seeing anything. Plitvice is stunning, but I barely remember the views—just the ache in my legs and the weird relief of finally giving up on the plan. Sometimes the only thing you bring home is the memory of being lost, and that’s enough. #Travel #TravelUnfiltered #LostAndFound

Why I Keep Buying Compasses

I ordered two compasses from a random shop in China. They arrived weeks later, wrapped in so much tape it took me ten minutes to get them open. I held one in my palm and realized I have no idea how to use it. I keep telling myself that if I just have the right gear, I’ll never get lost again. But I still walk out of train stations in the wrong direction. I still second-guess the blue dot on my phone. I still feel that flicker of panic when the street signs blur into a language I can’t read. Maybe I’m not afraid of getting lost. Maybe I’m afraid of admitting I never really know where I’m going. #TravelAnxiety #LostAndFound #PackingRegrets #Travel
