Nothing beats summer nights in Oregon.
Prove me wrong…

I’ve been off Twitter since it became X and I lost my verification. Wondering who is still here…

My travel shelf is filling up fast from this summer! Just got back from the Dominican Republic and I can’t wait to share all my content. This painting is from my trip to Belize. #travel #oceanlove #art #summer2023

Hola desde Zona Colonial, Santo Domingo 🇩🇴 Decided to spend my birthday in “oldest city of the Americas” - @UNESCO. Seemed fitting for my age… 😭😂😅 I just got to my Airbnb and I can’t wait to explore these historic streets! #SoloTraveler #birthday #SantoDomingo @TheRealDR

@scubadivingmag Can’t wait to do it again!

[Jamil Donith @jdonith]

I’ve been having way too much fun laughing at myself. After going through my content from my @PADI Belize scuba trip, apparently I’m not as graceful underwater as I thought… 😂 #REALITY #underwater #scubadiving @girlsthatscuba @scubadivingmag

Yesterday, I was laid off by @TexasTribune after nearly 9 years.

New leadership got rid of its longest-tenured reporters and said they’ll no longer cover the criminal justice beat.

No one on police, prisons, courts, the death penalty. In Texas.

Here’s some of what we’ll lose:

As a multimedia journalist and a solo traveler, I’ve always done things on my own, but with scuba it’s hard. My recent @PADI Club trip to Belize made me realize I can travel solo, but with a diverse dive community across the globe.🤿🌊 https://t.co/Gev9QRNXW9 #scubadiving

[Jamil Donith @jdonith]

Getting stuck in a foreign country isn’t all that bad when you get to explore more! Taking a bus all the way to Cancun because all the flights out of Belize City are BOOKED solid. Here’s to another adventure! #solotravel #standby #traveltroubleshooting

[Jamil Donith @jdonith]

Belize is just as beautiful below sea level. Got to see some amazing sights on today’s dive. Reef and nurse sharks, a green moray eel, a barracuda hunting and much more! @PADI @scubadivingmag @belizevacation #belize #sharks #scubadiving #SharkWeek

[Jamil Donith @jdonith]

@HeySandyPR @PADI @ScubaDiverMag Thank you, love!

[Jamil Donith @jdonith]

Un-BELIZE-able. 💙💦 Spending the next week with @PADI and @ScubaDiverMag for the #PADIclub retreat in San Pedro. I can’t get over this water!!!!! #belize #scubadiving #travel #mermaidlife

You know your dad is a crazy cat lady when:

He custom builds a “Catio” castle for his pure breed Siamese… 😹😹😹

Hiked and climbed to get to this Oregon gem. A underground spring formed by lava nearly 2,000 years ago. It’s also 37 degrees, but that couldn’t stop me from taking the PLUNGE 💦 Happy 4th! 🥶 #bluepool #tamolitchfalls #mckenzieriver #Oregon #pnw #naturelover #FourthofJuly2023

Nothing compared to @theoregoncoast. Even on a cloudy day, she’s a beauty! 🌊❤️ This is the Oregon Islands National Wildlife Refuge. 🦭🐧🐦‍⬛ @OregonParksDept #oregoncoast #pnw #bandon #wildliferefuge @ORDeptForestry

Rivers, lakes, and waterfalls. Oregon has it all! Loving exploring my home state. 🏞️💚🌈💦 #Oregon #pnw #Waterfall @ORDeptForestry @NatlParkService #fosterlake #cascadia #outdooradventures

Another beautiful day in the Oregon mountains…. 🌲⛰️🌄 #sunset #Oregon @ORDeptForestry

Ladies night with the cousins. I’m loving the 80 degree weather here in Oregon. Quite a break from the 100+ degree heat in Texas!!! 🥵🥵🥵 #Oregon #familyvacay #heatwave

[Jamil Donith @jdonith]

In the air again… 🎶✈️🧳
Flying standby is like it’s own adventure on top of traveling. After five hours waiting in two airports I’m home bound to Oregon! It’s been more than two years since I’ve been back. 🌲🏔️ #catchingflights #jetsetjournalist #dfw @AmericanAir

#Juneteenth is a day of celebration, mourning and reflection. We stand with our Black and Afro-Indigenous relatives as we recognize the brutal and unjust impacts of colonization and slavery. We cannot undo the past, but we can and must learn from it.
