Going to new outdoor places and experiencing all they have to offer lights me up. Whether by foot, bike, kayak, or board, I love to explore!

What national park do you dream of visiting?

I've visited over 20 national parks. Each one has blown my mind with it's unique beauty. I dream of visiting all the national parks but if I had to narrow it down to two, it would be Yosemite and Acadia. I also dream of going back to Yellowstone.

What has been your favorite adventure experience?

In 2021, my husband and I set out on a mountain biking trip to British Columbia. COVID was still very much a thing. Long story short, we got turned away at the border. After regrouping, we decided that exploring some of the national parks in the U.S. would be a great second option. We ended up road tripping and exploring North Cascades, Glacier, Yellowstone, and Grand Tetons national parks. We hiked, biked, camped, and had the best time.

What would you do with $10,000?

Honestly, we just relocated back to North Carolina after living in Oregon for 14 years. We've had a tumultuous time getting our careers back on track. Our financial stability is suffering. I'd use the $10,000 to help us with bills but also to spend on a much needed trip exploring more of our national parks.
