My dream is to visit every national park. A park that I haven’t been to which I would love to visit is Yellowstone National Park.
What has been your favorite adventure experience?Backpacking solo across Southeast Asia, including hikes in northern Thailand and a four-day trek along the Mekong River in Laos, was my favorite adventure. Volunteering at the Sunflower Orphanage in Cambodia added a meaningful, transformative aspect, blending personal discovery with impactful humanitarian work.
What would you do with $10,000?Create a transformative program designed to connect kids from underprivileged communities with nature through hiking trips at national parks. This initiative would offer guided hikes and educational workshops to instill a deep appreciation for the environment. Explore ecosystems, learn about wildlife, and understand the importance of conservation. By promoting physical health, building confidence, and fostering a lifelong connection to nature, my goal is to inspire kids to cherish our planet.
