I love adventures and will do pretty much anything if it’ll make for a good story. And in my 26 years, I’ve had some pretty amazing adventures: swimming with sharks in Fiji, driving from Boston to Dothan, AL in a 15-passenger van for a Habitat for Humanity project, paragliding off a mountain in Slovenia and sailing in the Great Barrier Reef are a few of my favorites.
Now that I’m working in the real world, I don’t always have the time (or budget) for grand adventures. But I put a lot of effort into finding things to do in my area, or a day trip away, that are fun-filled and wallet-friendly. My motto is: the more random and unusual the adventure, the better.
For now, this blog will mostly cover my adventures in North Carolina, but I’ll mix it up whenever I get the chance to travel. I have lots of stories to share, and I hope you enjoy!
Here are photos from some of my favorite adventures:

Nice to see, you had fun in Salzburg area. Greetings from Austria. ~Andreas

The sheep shearing in New Zealand took me most by surprise! I think I may just add that on my bucketlist too! Great to see all the adventures you’ve had and looking forward to hearing more about the ones you’re having. Great blog over all – keep that sense of adventure alive!

Kathy,
I remember that photo from our adventure Boston –> Dothan or BUST. You are a terrific writer and an even better person. Need a New England adventures contributer? I might just know one…
