One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

At 17 just after graduating high school my best friend and i took off for nearly two weeks to see Mt. Rushmore, Glacier National Park, the Grand Tetons, and Yellowstone National Park. We absolutely had the time of our life. It was an experience i'll never forget.

Also, I have traveled in 40 out of 50 states in the USA.
