I have dreamed of visiting Denali National Park, Gates of the Arctic NP, and Kenai Fjords NP. The great north has always called to me, the fringes of habitable earth have this inexplicable draw. The places most difficult to get to I’ve found to be the most beautiful.
What has been your favorite adventure experience?During my education, I had a chance to study abroad in Finland on the condition that I would be completely alone. In my isolation, I made so many new friends and got to experience so many new things completely unhindered by my own apprehensions. The beauty of the north took my hand and guided me through not only amazing nature, picturesque landscapes, and difficult languages, but through my own inner workings. That would have to be my favorite adventure experience.
What would you do with $10,000?With $10,000, I would do one of two things, maybe both if I budget well: I would make future trips more feasible by paying off my student debt, erasing it as a prohibiting factor in my life; or I would upgrade from my camera - beloved as it is, it’s not the most potent nor versatile of cameras - and expand my resources as an aspiring creative worker meaning Adobe Photoshop and Premiere, more lenses for my camera, protective equipment and cinematography equipment as well.
