After graduation I packed all my essentials in my family’s 2003 Honda Odyssey minivan and drove west, kicking the journey off with a three-day music festival in Columbus, Ohio. Over 31 days I visited 5 national parks, saw 3 bears, and slept in 7 Walmart parking lots. I met up with a lot of great friends and saw a huge swath of this beautiful country. It was truly one of the better, and most interesting, months of my life.
Minneapolis was for sure one of the coolest cities I’ve ever visited. 
Everywhere I looked in Montana was something photo worthy.
My home for the journey. 
Near my campsite in Glacier National Park. The may be the prettiest picture I’ve ever taken. 
There was so much wildlife in Yellowstone. 
They like to constantly remind you that Yellowstone is a super volcanoe.
