I was born with a wanderlust and a passion for adventure. I search out the quiet moments in the back country to really appreciate nature.

I would love to spend a few weeks in The Gates of the Arctic national park. The remoteness of the park and the fact there are no roads or trails is very intriguing to me. There are very few places left that are pristine and truely wild. I think trekking through this wilderness would be the ultimate reconnect with nature.
What has been your favorite adventure experience?My favorite adventure was a six day backpacking trip in Patagonia. I was in awe of the beautiful forrest and jagged peaks of Cero Torre and Fitz Roy. The forrest was like a manicured Japanese garden I couldn't believe it just grew naturally. I enjoyed the different extreme weather patterns. pulling myself across the river on a suspended rope with all my camping gear was a highlight for me.
What would you do with $10,000?I would take my boys on a trip to the Dolomites for a little mountain biking, climbing and a via ferrata trek. Some of my best moments and memories are spent adventuring with my children and I think that would be a fun way to celebrate and spend the money.
