I’m an avid hiker and backpacker! I’ve been to many national parks in the US and Iceland! I hike every other day all season! Rain or shine!
You decide who will win $10,000, embark on an expedition in a Winnebago RV, and appear in Outside Magazine
I’d love the chance to visit Glacier National park as well as Denali National park! But to be honest, I dream of visiting them all!
What has been your favorite adventure experience?My favorite experience hands down would be exploring icelands ring road this past spring. We traveled the entire outer edge of the country in 10 days and hiked every chance we could. Slept in a van and cooked every meal on the road. It was such a beautiful experience. So much that I’m going back this month to hike hornstrandir by myself for 4 days!
What would you do with $10,000?To be honest I would start by paying off some of my debt. I’ve been dedicated to traveling when I can but in no way am I financially capable of doing so without some kind of stress. And then I’d take 2 months off of work or more, and travel each place I’ve always dreamed off. With whatever could fit in my backpack and I’m able to find or purchase along the way. I’d truly dive into life head first and experience the beautiful world we live in. No need for material objects, just me and nature :)
