The Great Outdoors
Get out there and find your adventure!
Hiking might be my favorite outdoor activity, but it’s not the only way I fulfill my heart’s desire for adventure. I also love exploring new places by trail running, scuba diving, snorkeling, whitewater rafting, kayaking, and even cycling.
Over the years, I’ve been fortunate enough to dive on the Great Barrier Reef, run a half marathon on the Great Wall of China, snorkel with manatees, rodel in the Austrian Alps, and so much more!
My bucket list of outdoor adventures never seems to dwindle. Join me as I get out and explore the great outdoors!
