Why Traveling by Car is the Best Way to Travel
It’s not for everyone, nor is it for every situation, but I have a deep appreciation for driving that isn’t really fulfilled with other methods of travel. Maybe this is a hot take, but I think driving is the superior way to travel and explore. Planes are a nice way to get somewhere far away…

Travel Goals – Idaho
I want to issue an apology – I severely underestimated how cool Idaho was! I thought it was akin to a mid-Western “travel-through” state and I was sorely mistaken. For the outside enthusiast, waterfall chaser, or mountain climber, Idaho is an absolute playground of opportunities. Oh yeah, and there’s potatoes there for my potato-lovers! Potatoes…

Something Spooky Lives in Badlands National Park
My Badlands Experience During my recent trip to Badlands National Park in South Dakota, I expected towering rock formations and huge valleys. I expected crystal clear skies perfect for viewing the Milky Way. I even expected to see an abundance of wildlife. But there’s one thing I did not expect to see, and I’m still…
