I love hiking, reading, baking sourdough, spending time at the beach and in the ocean, and any kind of craft. I’ve also gotten into free diving and played a lot of tennis this past year.
I hiked all 48 peaks above 4,000 feet in New Hampshire.
I went on a seep sea safari in Kona recently and got to swim in and become part of a school of hammerhead sharks! It was crazy.
This is a tough one, but I’d say the Presidential Range in New Hampshire.
Hanging out with the AT community and exploring new places!
