Favorite hobbies
I get really excited about food. I love cooking and baking. I love learning about the history and science of different foods. I especially love eating food. I get a thrill anytime I am able to be on a body of water. Canoeing, kayaking, paddle boarding, rafting—I love being near water. I also love star-gazing. I also get so much enjoyment from being able to crawl/climb all over big boulders. I like making friendship bracelets and embroidering. I enjoy a puzzle and a good book.
Favorite outdoor achievement
One of my all time favorite outdoor highlights is road-tripping to Utah with my sisters. We spent the week exploring Zion and Bryce Canyon national parks and Dixie National Forest. The best part was completing Angels Landing and the Narrows in the same day. I did watch a very cool sunset in the Boundary Waters last summer.
Favorite outdoor memory
Outdoor memories will always be about the people I am with and the nature I see. So while campfire time with my family is still high up there, I think my favorite is late-night stargazing on a beach with friends.
Favorite place in the world
Devils Tower was the coolest place I have been to so far. It was just so awe-striking. Redwoods is a close second. It was the first time I was in marvel of plants. (And I am a Star Wars fan, so bonus feelings of being on Endor.)
What are you most looking forward to this summer?
Belly laughs, lunchtime naps, toothbrush dance parties, and strong communities.
