Adventures of Our Lifetime
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 enjoy exploring new parts of the United States with my other half and ready to take on the west soon. 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 grew up on the east coast so there is more information of local areas. There was a slight delay with the pandemic in 2020-22 but we are slowly getting back on track, checking off a few parks every year!
