Happy Monday, everyone! Since I know the start of the week can be weird and overwhelming, I want to help distract you by showcasing this weird place with an overwhelming smell that literally feels like you've stepped into an alternate dimension or post-apocalyptic film! . The Salton Sea was formed by an engineering mistake. In 1905, irrigation canals were created to get water from the Colorado River to help agriculture, but the water overwhelmed the canals and flowed into the Salton Basin until 1907. It is now the largest lake in California, and since water can only leave the lake by evaporation, is 30% saltier than the ocean. . The man-made lake once supported resort area and a thriving population of fish and birds, but due to increasing salty, toxic runoff pollution and algal blooms, the lake's resorts have been abandoned and the wildlife is dying out. The shores are white due to the bones of the fish that wash up, and don't even get me started on the odor! . Even so, the Salton Sea and surrounding abandoned beach towns are fascinating to check out. Head to my stories to see more shots from Bombay Beach, a tiny town on the lake with a population of 295 and the lowest U.S. cmmunity below sea level! . . .. . . . . . . . .#bombaybeach #saltonsea #sheisnotlost #girlsthatwander #ladiesgoneglobal #ladieslovetravel #travelislife #travelinstyle #travelinspired #desertvibes #desertlife #desertliving #uniqueplaces #teamkaptainkenny #hapatrotters #iamtb #livecolorfully #mytinyatlas #mytraveldiary #travelstory #californiagirl #california #tlpicks

Far off places, daring sword fights, magic spells, a prince in disguise! . Growing up, my favorite Disney princess was always Belle. I'll confess, part of it was because she was the only Disney princess at the time who had brown hair (like me). But mostly, it was because she's intelligent, filled with wanderlust, puts her family first, sees beauty beyond the surface, is an introvert and LOVES to read! 📖 . Who is your favorite Disney heroine? ✨ .

Some of you found out recently from my stories on Orthodox Easter that I am part Serbian. This surprises a lot of people because I am half Japanese and lived in Asia for much of my life, so that side of my heritage tends to dominate. However, my Slavic identity is a part of me that is also strong and important. I adore my Serbian family and enjoy celebrating traditions together, from painting red eggs for Easter (protection/safekeeping) to giving sprigs of rosemary to our guests on our wedding day (blessing/faithfulness). . Tell me something about yourself and your identity that people sometimes find surprising! . . . . . . . . . #discoverla #serbiangirl #californiagirl #girlsthatwander #babeswhotravel #beautifuldestinations #places_wow #speechlessplaces #beautifulchurch #ladieslovetravel #ladiesgoneglobal #travelinladies #femmetravel #nomadgirls #femaletravelbloggers #californiaholics #losangelesgrammers #lablogger #worlderlust #travelislife #sheisnotlost #thatsdarling #Travellikeagirl #architecture_lovers

"The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page." . This quote is often attributed to Saint Augustine, but there is literally no proof that he ever said this. Nevertheless, it remains one of my favorite travel quotes ever. What are some of yours? Share with me below! #TravelTuesday .
