This year, since I’ve just graduated and entered what people affectionately call “the Real World”, I was able to take my first business travel! I know, I know… “business” and “travel” put together don’t exactly sound glamorous, but to me it means one thing: I got to see a new place on someone else’s dime, and that’s always a win in my book! Specifically, I … Continue reading Lost in the Woods: an Unplanned Hike in Upstate New York

We saw some really gorgeous parts of the country during those 10 days, and we’ve compiled a list of some of our very favorite drives–winding roads with gorgeous scenery, inspiring outlooks, and opportunities for viewing wildlife.

In August 2015, Ryan and set off on a 4500-mile road trip through some of America’s greatest national parks and the American West’s most beautiful natural areas. We affectionately called it our “Epic American Road Trip”. We traversed nine states and visited six national parks over the ten days of our trip.
