Plan your trips with a 2025 Scenic Calendar!

Happy Holidays! One of my favorite traditions is making my scenic calendar. Since 2018, I've compiled my adventures into an annual calendar highlighting stunning locations across the country and beyond. This year is no different - and I actually think it's one of the best calendars I've produced. If you're looking to give a great gift or need a calendar to help plan your trips and get inspired, I would be honored if you chose mine. If you plan to give it as a gift, Wednesday, December 18th is the hard cut-off, as I'm unsure how quickly mail will arrive after that. Please note this on the Google form, as I'll be prioritizing those.

I haven't been back to Chicago in 16 months, and it was nice to see family. I also just found out on Thursday that I'll be heading to Canada next weekend for a whirlwind trip to Churchill. I'm still processing it all. When I say I'm shocked. I'm shocked. This was not on my 2025 bingo card. Can't wait to catch you...
Gorilla Trekking in Rwanda In the early 1900s, mountain gorillas were not known to Europeans. By the 1980s, scientists feared that they would become extinct by the end of the 20th century due to poaching and the capture of baby gorillas for zoos. With that fear, conservation efforts ramped up, and Rwanda's government, along with NGOs, made a concerted effort to protect mountain gorillas from extinction. With numbers as low as 240 in the 1980s, they are now over 1,000. A new census is being...
Hi! It's been a long while. I know. The last time you heard from me, I was en route to Rwanda. That was an incredible trip, which I will discuss in more detail later. But first, my recent Colorado road trip. (Considering most of you are from the US, a trip to Colorado is far easier than one to Rwanda.)
