Exploring Possibilities

Trip Dates: June 19th, 2019 - July 23rd, 2019
 

I’m on a mission to visit all of the National Parks in the United States and it’s no secret some are easier to visit than others. Alaska is home to some of the nation’s most remote lands and least visited National Parks. At the time of writing this, I was in Juneau awaiting the ferry to Gustavus, the gateway to our last National Park – Glacier Bay. I couldn’t have been happier; my Dad and I were so close to reaching my goal of visiting...

Christmas in American Samoa – Part Two

Trip Dates: December 20th, 2018 – December 27th, 2018

Ofu Island/Vaoto Lodge: This ‘highlight’ could be an entire post in and of itself. And, alas, it is because I couldn’t briefly summarize this paradise into a paragraph or two for part one... 

When I saw pictures of Ofu Beach, I knew I had to do whatever it took to get to Ofu – an island that’s part of the Manu'a Group of the Samoan Islands – 75 miles away from the main island of Tutuila. When...

When people asked me why I was going to American Samo...

It's been far too long and that means just one thing: Time for a new post. Sometimes I feel overwhelmed by the adventures and how I can possibly put my experiences into words to share with others. And, as we know, by blogging about the trips, I sometimes articulate a little too much. Alas, my birthday on the island of Aunu'u warrants all the words in the world because it was a day I will never forget. 

It all started when two friends (Christa + Jeremy) and I booked a trip to Am...

Trip Dates: Friday, September 28th, 2018 - Monday, October 1st, 2018

I’ve been perfecting the best work/adventure balance during the months of September-November and now that things are calming down - just in time for Winter Break - it’s time to provide you all with a recap! Originally, my next post was going to be all about our impromptu trip to Petrified Forest and Saguaro National Parks but I’ll save that for another time. For now, I have to share about my solo trip to Virgin Isl...
