OUTDOOR ADVENTURES
I wander because I wonder. I’m always wondering what else is out there in the world, and I want to explore everything to find out. Here you’ll find links to posts about all of my outdoor adventures. Trail reviews, trying new adventures, and stories about my experiences will all be shared here. I primarily prefer hiking, but I like to try all sorts of outdoor activities like skiing, kayaking, white-water rafting, camping, rock climbing, biking, fishing, and anything else that allows me to enjoy the great outdoors! Take a look at some of my latest adventures below.
