You decide who will win $10,000, embark on an expedition in a Winnebago RV, and appear in Outside Magazine
My goal is to visit all 63 national parks and with your help I will conquer it! I am one of the fellow explorers that caught the van-life bug. It is my mission to take off on an epic road trip visiting all the national parks, sharing the story and inspiring others to do the same. My dreams are big but my courage is even bigger! Right now on the top of my list is Glacier, Yellowstone, Grand Teton, Redwood, Sequoia, Olympic and Mount Rainier National Park.
What has been your favorite adventure experience?My favorite adventure is backpacking through the John Muir Forest. I fell in love with the trails and the beauty of thru-hiking. Going from the redwoods and Douglas firs to huge slabs of snow-capped granite the size of cars was surreal. The magnificent contrasting landscape took my breath away. I experienced sunshine, gloom, rain, snow, hail and sunshine again, all in one day! We camped deep in the mountains, fished in natural lakes and stargazed till the early morning. I was hooked.
What would you do with $10,000?Inspire! Love! Care! Share! I would finally be able to embark on the adventure of a lifetime. My goal would be to document and share the whole process in hope it would inspire others to trust themselves and take the leap of faith to achieve their dreams. The $10,000 would help me invest in my own van to begin the journey.
