My enthusiasm for the great outdoors extends beyond my professional life. I am an ardent lover of hiking, a passion that has led me to explore 46 of the 63 national parks in the United States. Each trail offers its own unique adventure, from serene paths to challenging terrains.
In addition to hiking, I have embarked on several remarkable road trips, each a journey of discovery and awe. These include driving to the base camp of Mt. Everest, braving the Dalton Highway to reach the remote Arctic Ocean, navigating the rugged roads of the Aleutian Islands, and accomplishing a three-day, coast-to-coast drive across the United States.
Nature’s beauty, especially during those serene sunsets and breathtaking sunrises, captivates me. Additionally, I am an avid chaser of the aurora during the spring and fall seasons, finding joy in camping under the star-studded Milky Way in the summer. My love for travel, hiking, and landscape photography is not just a hobby, but a journey to witness and capture the awe-inspiring beauty of our planet.
