Hello world! (or the three people that end up stumbling upon this page…)

I’m a pretty average 24 year old, with an above average need for adventure. Currently living a ski bum life in Colorado as a transplant from Upstate NY (not upstate like Buffalo or anything, just far enough Upstate to not want you confusing me with someone from the city) and pretty much every cent I make goes into my adventure/ travel fund.

Traveling the world is the best way to appreciate what you have and keep your mind open to new things. I wanted to start a blog and share my adventures in a hope to inspire people to leave their comfort zones, inspire them to adventure out in the world and do things differently, inspire them to appreciate everything that happens in this world and all the people in it. Sure, it’s easy to be comfortable in your everyday routine, but that leaves you with so few opportunities to catch your breath in amazement and wonder – and what’s the fun in that?

It doesn’t have to be a big, expensive vacation – just try something new! Get away for the weekend. Go on a hike. Try a cooking class. Get Rosetta Stone for Spanish (and actually do it). Plan your dream vacation. Take it. Don’t just sit around and keep saying you’ll do it when you have the money or the time. It’s obviously cliché because it’s true, but life is unpredictable and too many people don’t get a chance to do things they really want to, so don’t make any more excuses!

This won’t be  the perfect blog; I’m not always reliably connected to wifi, I’m prone to technology problems, and I’m not good at slowing down long enough to sit at my computer, BUT I will always (eventually) share my adventures and they will always be worth it. Plus, sometimes my dry, sarcastic, New York sense of humor comes out and if it’s not funny, it’s usually at least entertaining.
