I make exploring a priority. I work remotely & am constantly changing my location to experience more of life, I’d rather be ashes than dust!

Glacier Bay National Park, it’s just so different from the rest of the United States and seems other worldly. Maybe it’s the fact that geographically it’s so far away it seems the most unattainable to visit or maybe it’s the glaciers. Plus I’m a sucker for a lake and rugged mountain combination.
What has been your favorite adventure experience?My first extended trip west. I based myself in CO with my dog and 3 of my best friends. We took a road trip through CO and UT in January. We crammed 4 girls and 2 large dogs into my SUV and began our journey. We experienced the city, the desert, the high desert and the mountains all in one trip.I loved being able to see the open road over the dashboard, mountains in the rearview and my friends beside me.The sights, laughs, and almost dropping a phone off a 480+ ft cliff will stay with me forever
What would you do with $10,000?Spend it on traveling to as many national parks as possible and experiencing life to the most! Like Jack London once wrote “I would rather be ashes than dust…the function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.” Exploring nature is my happy place, my sanity, and I intend to spend my time sharing my happiness with others in as many places as possible.
