What national park do you dream of visiting?

It’s tough to choose just one! I want to visit them all! I honestly dream of road tripping all across the states and exploring the national parks-Zion, The Arches, the Everglades, Denali & the Hawaii Volcanos are high on my list!

What has been your favorite adventure experience?

Again, this is a tough question to answer. A dune buggy adventure in the Sahara Desert, a 3 day jungle trek in Thailand. Rappelling off a130 ft building, and hiking Hell’s Canyon with strangers I just met are my top 4. All of these are so very different, and all so completely rad!

What would you do with $10,000?

I had BIG dreams for the amazing trip I’d plan with $10k. I’ve always wanted to dive in Roatan, or the Galápagos Islands. But Jasper National Park is indeed of support from their recent wildfire. 💔The stunning landscape, abundant wildlife, not to mention homes and businesses destroyed. If I win, I will donate the FULL $10,000 cash prize to a Jasper fire recovery organization. ❤️‍🩹
