Upstate New York
Where adventure begins
Where adventure begins
Nothing like miles and miles of flat grassy meadows in our nation's heartland
Camping with my furry companion with the face of this national monument as our backdrop
My love for Mexican food and my love for Los Angeles summed up
A cool little mountain town full of great beer, coffee and culture
Beautiful natural color gradients and thermal features
Rugged terrain, wildlife and geysers
After visiting these mountain views I will never be the same
The clearest skies and bluest alpine waters
A street full of art and Southern California vibes
Watching the surfers hit the pier break as the sun sets over the Pacific
My first big solo adventure
Skiping major highway routes brought me through endless forests and huge volcanoes in the Cascade Range
Harsh climate, beautiful sunsets, lumpy desert terrain and unique trees
The road twists and turns with the ocean always to the west and forested mountains to the east
Hiking through scenic lava fields and caves
Artsy culture and iconic sunsets
Skiing in the morning and on the beach by early noon
My favorite accidental discovery
The best kept secret of Baja Mexico
Hiking the trails leading along the oversized canyon walls
This area had so many layers and ranges of elevations
It's a tough hike up, but the deep blue water and contrast of light colored rocks are memorable
Here I encountered the cutest marine life and the prettiest sunsets
Deep cliffs and a misty marine layer rolling through the tall evergreens
Sunset views, whales and sea food in the beautiful Pacific Northwest
My brother's rescue pup, living the good life in a seaport city
Forests, alpine meadows, rugged mountains, and deep blue lakes
Surroundings so stunning it was tough to keep my eyes on the long road
Hiking through the barren hills and canyons of our nation's heartland
Pristine, clear water, and an eclectic beer and ice cream loving city
The land of lobster, freezing water, maritime culture and salty potatoes
Full of viewpoints, sailors' superstitions and shipwrecks
An afternoon of exploring the ocean floor, poking sea anemones and cliff views of the coast from a new perspective
On a mission to hit all 9 California National Parks
This beautiful island made me realize I need adult swimming lessons
The first place my pup and I found ourselves calling home on the West Coast
Cruising down the Avenue of the Giants, through some amazing stretches of redwood forest
This view is always a bittersweet one, driving back East as the sun sets in the West through the grasslands
Deep cliffs, surface covering waterfalls and almost always a misty rainbow
