Over a year and a half ago I made a promise to myself that I would start travelling... even if it meant going alone. In 2015 I climbed Mt. Washington, and in 2016 I took two vacations and hiked through Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon, Sedona, and the Grand Canyon, by myself. I absolutely loved it. I met so many amazing people, hiked through areas most don't know about because of the fantastic people I met, and learned that I really do enjoy being alone. I had absolutely no fear or trepidation.
What's on my mind now is New Zealand. I have decided that I am going to go there for 2 weeks in January, 2018 (great weather then) with just a backpack and a list of places I want to see. I plan on not tying myself down with hotel reservations and just keeping a list of hostels and hotels in the areas I want to visit. I want to be free to go wherever, whenever. I am so excited to do this.
Now to figure out where I would like to go this year.
