I dream of visiting all of the national parks. It's a life goal of mine. I want to see a sunrise in Arcadia. I want to see a sunset near volcano national Park in Hawaii. Want to feel like a tiny child again among the redwoods. I want to raft through the Grand Canyon. I want the best of all the parks!
What has been your favorite adventure experience?My favorite adventure experience was once I decided to embrace the theme of hiking my own hike while I was doing the Appalachian trail. I decided I wanted to do a 3-day kayak trip through the Shenandoah part. The camping and food on this part of my treck were the best. See above picture for example I carried a full watermelon and cantaloupe with me. However poking a hole in the kayak and capsizing and having to self rescue myself in the middle of a river was not optimal but fully memorable.
What would you do with $10,000?I would use the money to try and knock out some of the harder reached national parks with a trip to Hawaii and hopefully enough to get to Guam. I'd use travel hacks and stay as cheap as possible while getting the most adventure with a day or two of beauty on the beach
