Adventures of Our Lifetime

Check out my Utah page (we did a 2-week trip back in 2018)!

Have you visited the newest designated New River Gorge National Park as of Dec 2020? 
We went in 2022, read all about it on the WV page!

How We Got Started...

We got a taste of “hiking” and seeing the amazing nature views back in 2010. We partook in our friends’ bachelor/ette celebration in Vegas but stayed a few more days to explore the parks in the area.  From then on, we typically avoid the city scenes, as we much preferred the peaceful and quiet natural sceneries. Although we pass through touristy areas, we try to plan around the peak times of the year (lots of research online and reading forums). In my pages I will share how I created my itineraries and provide additional tips when you start planning your own trip.

After spending +10 years in school studying (2 B.S. and 1 M.S. later) and having a stable job now, I’m finally in a place of my life where I can put together our adventures on an official site. I hope to share some insights and recommendations for you when you are visiting the places we have been. Enjoy!

About Me

I have been traveling with my partner for over a decade. Even though we work full time, we started off hiking the local parks and have been expanding out to the national parks across the country. We are on the East Coast, so you will see a lot more information of local areas but we are planning to explore internationally in the near future. There was a slight delay with the pandemic in 2020-22 but we are slowly getting back on track!
