There are many exciting things to see when you take a road trip to 49 states and visit 58 National Parks. From the wildlife to the waterfalls, sunrises and sunsets, but the people that I will get to meet will likely be among the things I remember most at the conclusion of this adventure. I am looking forward to seeing who I meet along my travels and what I will learn from these counters.

I’m excited to travel to Alaska. I’m looking forward to a road trip through 49 States and 58 National Parks. But it’s a little intimidating and maybe even a little scary. Still, I think the excitement of taking on such an adventure and all that a journey like that promises makes me more excited than anything, and that excitement is outweighing any other concerns I could have about the trip. The chief concern is likely the magnitude of the trip. That’s the part that is both exciting and scary at the same time… But I got this!

For most people, a road trip to 49 states and visiting 58 National Parks is a goal, but in this case it’s an objective on the way to my goal of visiting all 50 states and all 62 National parks.

Why? Well, Why not. I have wanted to go on this adventure for a long time and the time is now. I often say that perfect timing is a procrastinator myth. I should know- I think my other PhD just might be in procrastination. I’m that person who gets things done, but I also have a knack for procrastinating, which explains why I still have not taken this trip until now.

One thing most people who know me will tell you about me is that I get things done. Don’t ask the people who’ve had to work with me- Most (AKA- all) of them will probably say something silly like I’m bossy. Just don’t understand that I prefer to have things done my way.

I guess we could say I’m a bit particular, which is one of the reasons that this journey may seem a bit out of character for me, but it is exactly me. A lot of people don’t know realize this about me I love nature. I get such life from being out there. There is something so magical about being at the beach and watching the sunrise. You feel miniscule and so strong and powerful at the same time. I appreciate the moments where the earth just whether through a tree, a flower or the sunsets and sunrises where you know it’s just showing off and showing out.

This journey will give me an opportunity to experience this on a larger scale. I am looking forward seeing the sunrise and set in more than 100 different locations. I am looking forward to seeing the majesty of the wildlife we share this planet with. I am looking forward to people I will encounter. Most of all I am looking forward to seeing how this journey changes me

I’m getting ready to take on my wildest dream road trip. A 58 National Parks, 49 states road trip to Alaska. I’m traveling to Alaska from SOUTH Florida. Along the way, I want to see what the other 47 in between have to offer. I expect this will be fun, interesting, maybe a little out there but still super exciting. One thing’s for sure. This is the type of adventure that can be life-changing. I can hardly wait to hit the road. So, why do you come along? Connect with me on social media so you can keep up with my journey.
