I love challenging myself to new and intimidating things. When I face those challenges and intimidations I feel better prepared for life.

It truly is my dream to visit every national park in the U.S.! But top of my list would probably be Mount Rainier National Park. I love everything mountains and lakes and I have always wanted to visit Washington state itself as well.
What has been your favorite adventure experience?Just about any time I've gone to Interlaken, Switzerland was amazing! Snowboarding, white water rafting, canyoning, paragliding, backpacking, camping, there is so much outdoors stuff to do there! Paragliding was probably the coolest though. In the U.S. I think my favorite has been my most recent trip that was to Acadia National Park in Maine. It was so peaceful and beautiful.
What would you do with $10,000?I would definitely like to use it to travel the U.S.! After spending 5 years in Germany with the military and getting to visit the surrounding countries there, I realized just how many opportunities we have in our own country that have so many beautiful things and different cultures just here. I'm also finishing school in the spring which would be the perfect time to hit the road before I start my new career.
