Hiking, Photography
I enjoy hiking of all kinds. I try to go hiking all throughout the year in different types of environments.
One of my goals is to travel to as many national parks as I can get to, so I can explore them and cross them off my list.
I also like taking photographs of nature and landscapes.
I will print off my photos and hang them in my hallway so I can have a gallery of vacations I've been on.
