NEW MEXICO VLOG 2023 —ALBUQUERQUE, BALLOON FIESTA, THE SANDIAS, + WHITE SANDS | KATIE COLLINS-BEAN

thank you for watching my new mexico vlog ☻

♡ NP 4/63 ♡

matt & I started dating while he was stationed in albuquerque in the air force, & since then it has always been a dream of mine to visit the place he once called home & to see the balloons fill up the sky. he surprised me with the trip & planned the sweetest proposal while the balloons were lifting off. we're also HUGE fans of breaking bad & better call saul so we definitely had to see some filming locations while we were in the area. we spent some time in the sandia mountains & drove three hours to white sands national park, and three hours back to albuquerque. it was a busy, fun-filled trip & I wouldn't trade any of it for the world.

ABOUT WHITE SANDS
if you're wanting to experience a place that feels like you're on another planet, visit white sands national park! this park is smaller, covering 145,762 acres in the tularosa basin with glistening, white sand dunes. what makes the sand white? it's made up of broken down gypsum which is actually clear, but appears white against the sun's rays. white sands also has some of the clearest skies in the u.s. with stunning views of the stars & the milky way.
