All of them!! But one of the most important one on my list is Yosemite. I grew up in San Diego, yet somehow I have never been! I know, that’s crazy! There is something surreal and breathtaking about the grandness of those cliffs. I am also a rock climber, so the granite peaks call me! I feel like it’s just one of those places that you have to see and experience yourself, almost like photos can’t do it justice. I know I’ll get there someday and I can’t wait!
What has been your favorite adventure experience?Probably when I did the Lares Trek in Peru without a guide. It was incredible to camp at 15,000ft and experience the culture! We even ran into an alpaca on trail, plus we stumbled across this tiny village in the middle of nowhere and got to play with the local children. We ended our trek at the hot springs, which was absolutely perfect!
What would you do with $10,000?I have two young daughters and I want to be able to take them on all of the adventures!! I would finally buy a pop up camper or trailer and hit the road! I want to show them how incredibly beautiful our country is, which is so important for our future generations. I see their confidence beam when we’re out exploring and I really want to ensure that I’m fostering that sense of adventure in them. We would love the opportunity to make our dreams come true!
