A Diver’s Hot List
Seventy-one percent of Earth’s surface is covered by water, and hidden beneath the waves lies a boundless seascape so drastically different than any land-based habitat. Spectacular coral reefs, shipwrecks, and colorful sea creatures of all shapes and sizes come together in a fascinating, alien-like world. In my eleven years as a certified scuba diver, I’ve had the good fortune of experiencing some of the most incredible dive locations on the planet. Each site offers a unique, vast environment to explore.
Go See the Gorillas
With gorilla trekking, you are on foot, often forging your own path to find the gorillas. There are no fences, no regular patterns, no plan. I trekked for two days in a row in the two days could not have been more different. The weather, the time of year, the mood of the gorillas…all factor into where and how you find the gorillas. It's like the gorillas make you work for that encounter! It’s exhilarating and so engaging.
National Parks: Forgotten Treasures
US National Parks can be overlooked or forgotten as a destination as we focus on more exotic locations to explore; I am personally guilty of doing exactly this. When I was eleven years old, my parents took us on a road trip around the US for three weeks to explore our amazing National Parks. I was young enough to be awed and inspired, and old enough to remember all the unique experiences.
