Going on a Bear Hunt

I've been trying to stay healthy a lot more recently because most of my work requires me to just sit behind a computer all day. I try and take advantage of the recently good weather by doing outdoor activities in the spring and summer time, so I've taken up hiking! There are a ton of places to hike wherever you go, but recently I've been trying to walk some trails whenever I'm traveling too. It allows for a great moment to disconnect from the craziness that sometimes comes with my day job and just focus on the natural surroundings around me. These photos are from a recent trip near Shenandoah National Park in Virginia.

Cross Country Road Trip

One of my life goals is to visit all 50 states before I turn 30. Here are a few shots I snapped during a cross-country trip I took through the Midwest. I drove through Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico and Arizona. It was also my first time seeing the Grand Canyon and it was amazing! I would love to go back and spend some time hiking through the canyon. From the moment I stepped up to the viewpoint I was taken aback by its immensity. The canyon made me feel so, so small! It was such a blessing to be able to take time to see some of the natural beauty this country has. The whole experience was so humbling and inspiring for me that it makes me want to just spend more time traveling and exploring the world. I had so much footage from my week-long trip, it was very hard to choose which photos to share, so please bear with me!
