I spent three years in Tasmania camping and hiking. Hiking isn't just a hobby, it's at the very center of my life. It's what brings me joy!

My dream is to do a big California national park road trip! I want to drive up the coast and back down inland visiting all of the national parks. I want to hike in Yosemite, see the Sequoias and Redwoods, camp on the Channel Islands and climb in Joshua Tree. I also fantasize about traveling to Rocky Mountain and Glacier National Parks. :)
What has been your favorite adventure experience?My favorite adventure experience was solo-hiking the Overland Track in Tasmania. It was the first time I had done anything like that. I learned to believe in and trust myself all while experiencing remarkable beauty. In seven days, I learned so much and awakened in myself a passion for adventure, exploration and the outdoors.
What would you do with $10,000?With $10,000, I would live my ultimate dream come true. I would hike, climb and camp all over California and hopefully Colorado and Montana too! I've dreamt of living van life and traveling across the US for many years. Winning this competition would make that possible. It would also change my life. Winning $10,000 would not only help me to live my dream and maybe make a few gear upgrades :)...it would help me to save for a future filled with adventure.
